Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Daughter Zahara Files to Legally Remove Dad’s Last Name
Angelina Jolie isn’t shying away from the important discussions.
More than a decade after she underwent a preventative double mastectomy, The 51-year-old detailed how she’s used her new film Couture to spark a conversation about her family’s history with breast cancer with her daughters Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and Vivienne, 17.
“The film itself is going to help me talk to my daughters about it,” she told Hello in a video shared on June 17. “I’ve spoken to them, of course, a bit about it, but even telling them that it’s coming out and they were talking to me about what it’s about.”
In Couture, Jolie plays a filmmaker diagnosed with cancer. And during filming, the Oscar winner, whose mom Marcheline Bertrand died in 2007 at 56 after an eight-year battle with ovarian and breast cancer, wore her mom’s ashes around her neck.
“It got us into the conversation about the gene and maybe if they have it and how medicine’s changing,” she continued, “or how we live or all the many things that could happen and not to be afraid.”
