DESPITE being one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, with six children and three marriages under her belt, Angelina Jolie says she suffers “loneliness”. In a candid new interview, the actress revealed she struggles to live life on her own eight years on from her infamous and messy split from Brad Pitt.

Speaking at an upmarket hotel in London on Saturday night, the 49-year-old actress reflected on her need for companionship ahead of the release of her new biopic, Maria. Dressed in black, Angelina looked relaxed as she spoke about her remarkable portrayal of the late opera star Maria Callas, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination last week.

The actress says that feeling “alone” was the trait she most shared with the singer, who died in 1977 with just staff as close friends. Angelina says: “I have my children I love but as an adult I’m often alone. I find myself identifying with the solitude and loneliness she has.

“I also haven’t quite figured out how to live life in a way where I’m on my own. “Maybe a lot of artists feel that we’re in an open space as a person. We don’t quite settle. So it leaves us in a strange way sometimes.”. Maria, which was written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is Angelina’s first film in more than three years.

She has cut a reflective figure on her return to the spotlight, with her comments suggesting a rumoured relationship with Brit rapper Akala, 41, has already cooled. Last week she told Variety magazine that the film was like “therapy” for her and that she had “lost her voice” after her mother Marcheline Bertrand died in 2007 and “someone hurt me”.
