Angelina Jolie Not Quitting Acting: Rumor Busting
November 18th, 2008
Following recent comments from Angelina Jolie that she planned to “fade away” from the acting spotlight, the actress has backtracked saying, “I’m not making some retirement announcement.”
The gossip columns jumped on an interview Jolie did with the BBC on November 13 where she revealed, “I don’t plan to keep acting very long. I’m ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day.”
However, when questioned about her comments during a press conference on Monday, Jolie explained, “I’m not making some retirement announcement. I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune to financially not have to work all the time.
She added, “I just feel privileged that I get to be home a lot. Maybe eventually I’ll stop (acting).”
