Angelina Jolie Opens Up On Her Surprising Connection with Maria Callas in New Biopic; Find Out What She Revealed

by

As an ardent fan of both Angelina Jolie and Maria Callas, I find myself utterly captivated by Jolie’s heartfelt portrayal of the legendary Greek soprano in the upcoming biopic. The parallels between their lives, as two dedicated workers who share a certain loneliness, resonate deeply with me. It’s as if Jolie has stepped into Callas’ shoes, not just mimicking her every move, but truly understanding her spirit.

In an upcoming biopic, Angelina Jolie will take on the role of Maria Callas, a renowned Greek soprano and opera singer who passed away. On October 26, during the premiere of Maria at the American Film Institute Festival, Jolie shared with PEOPLE her experiences playing Maria and the strong bond she developed with the deceased vocalist.

As reported by the actress who played Maleficent, she felt a particular sense of solitude, similar to Callas, that stems from being deeply committed to one’s work. She didn’t delve too deeply into the topic because it’s quite personal, but there is indeed a feeling of loneliness and an unwavering work ethic, she clarified. Despite being an “imperfect individual,” Jolie puts in the same tireless effort as Callas did during her time.

Moreover, Jolie additionally clarified that she and Callus consider themselves merely as “an artist and a laborer with duties,” and emphasized their tendency to be overly critical of themselves.

The forthcoming biopic, helmed by director Pablo Larraín who is known for creating Jackie and Spencer, delves into the life of an iconic American-Greek soprano. As per the summary, she finds solace in Paris after a dazzling and turbulent existence under public scrutiny.

As a lifestyle connoisseur reflecting on an extraordinary figure, I found myself captivated by Callus, whose life was tragically cut short by a heart attack in 1977. Nevertheless, his impact lingers vibrantly. The biopic about his life premiered at the New York Film Festival and sparked a lengthy standing ovation from the audience. Post-screening, I had the privilege of joining the stage for a discussion on the film and my experiences working with the talented team behind this masterpiece.

She expressed her delight about attending the event and performing alongside “these exceptionally skilled, marvelous individuals who are not only colleagues but friends as well,” indicating the movie’s cast and team. Furthermore, she mentioned that the film showcases the deep affection we have for the people whose stories we’re telling and the love they had for art, too.
