Angelina Jolie Is Not Happy With Vanity Fair & Here’s Why!

Angelina Jolie who recently featured on the cover of Vanity Fair has spoken up against the magazine’s portrayal of the audition process for her new film, ‘First They Killed My Father’.

Vanity Fair had written that, “directors would place money in front of these children from orphanages, circuses, and slum schools. They would then ask the children what they needed the money for, and take the money away to provoke a reaction”.

But according to Angie the ‘pretend exercise’ was from a scene in the movie and not a real scenario as portrayed by Vanity Fair.

She said,

“Parents, guardians and NGOs partners, as well as medical doctors, were present throughout the entire filmmaking process, including auditions. Every measure was taken to ensure the safety, comfort and well-being of the children on the film starting from the auditions through production to the present,” Jolie told HuffPost 

I am upset that a pretend exercise in an improvisation, from an actual scene in the film, has been written about as if it was a real scenario. The suggestion that real money was taken from a child during an audition is false and upsetting. I would be outraged myself if this had happened, The point of this film is to bring attention to the horrors children face in war, and to help fight to protect them.”
