Angelina Jolie, who debuted as a child actress, spent her life in front of the camera. Her big decision to move far away from Hollywood has already got netizens discussing the possible reasons that might have impacted her resolution.

The insider also revealed that Angelina hasn’t decided on any location yet, but is reviewing multiple locations where she would like to settle. “She’s eyeing several locations abroad. She’ll be very happy when she’s able to leave Los Angeles,” they stated.

Her priority has always been her kids. In a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she spoke about her decision to take a hiatus from work at a crucial time of her career.
“I needed to be home more with my kids…They’re a bit older, getting more independent. I’m less needed and so able to go away for different periods of time. And they’re old enough to join me at work,” she stated.
She had also hinted at her plans for the next chapter, focusing on peace and privacy away from the hustle and bustle of the movie industry.
“When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be… that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here.”
“I’ll spend a lot of time in Cambodia. I’ll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world,” she concluded.
