Heartbreaking reason Angelina Jolie once hired real hitman while battling with severe depression

This article includes details of issues with suicide ideation and drug addiction.

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is a star born to actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand.

Although she went on to make a big name for herself as an actress, taking on various iconic roles, this didn’t stop her from wanting to once end it all.

At just 22 years old, Jolie decided she’d had enough of whatever her life had left to give.

Jolie thought to herself that hiring a hitman was the best way out as she struggled with depression.

She was emotionally exhausted and had a strained relationship with her father, Jon Voight.

The Wanted star had previously admitted to struggling with drug addiction at the time, which furthered the already rocky relationship she had with her father.

She was asked by an interviewer at The Face in 2003, “How did you find a hitman?”

“They’re not that hard to find in New York,” she claimed.

She admitted, “As insane as it sounds, I think a lot of people consider suicide when they’re young.”

“I was very aware that so many people around me, like my mother, would feel as though they didn’t give enough or do enough if I’d taken my own life.”

Not wanting her loved ones to feel guilty, she felt it would have been better to make it look like a terrible robbery.

“So my solution to that was if someone else had taken my life.. like in a robbery, then it would be murder, and it wouldn’t be that anyone would feel they’d let me down,” she explained.

Jolie’s plan was carefully thought out.

She “took out cash over a certain amount of time” so it wouldn’t look suspicious, as a large payment being withdrawn all at once would make it easier to track.

“He was a decent enough person,” she said.

She claimed that he “asked if I could think about it and call him again in two months.”

“Something changed in my life and I figured I’d stick it out.”

Speaking on her past addictions and troubles in life to Glamour, she believes she was “very lucky” to be given another chance.

“I went through heavier, darker times, and I survived them.”

“I didn’t die young. So I am very lucky.”

“There are other artists and people that didn’t survive certain things.”

“People can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst…”

“For many reasons, I shouldn’t be here… You just…”

“Too many times where you came close to too many dangerous things, too many chances taken too, too far.”
