It is worth noting that Downey Jr. has been married to producer Susan Levine for 13 years.
Legend of the present. Angelina Jolie's life in photographs
Angelina Jolie was born into a family of famous actors - Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. Angelina also has an older brother, James Haven, a film actor and producer. In the photo: Angelina Jolie at age eleven with her family, 1986. www.globallookpress.com
At school, Angelina, by her own admission, felt alienated. The actress herself explains this with her appearance and manner of dressing. However, having moved to Los Angeles, she began studying at an acting studio and acting in films - at first only in the experimental crafts of her brother, but in 1993 Jolie took part in the film Cyborg 2: The Glass Shadow, where she played the role of the robot Casella "Quiche" Reese. "Cyborg 2: Shadow of the Glass", 1993
“Cyborg 2” went unnoticed, but the very next role made Angelina Jolie a big movie star - the actress shone in the cyberpunk thriller “Hackers.” Here she met Jonny Lee Miller, whom she later married. "Hackers", 1995
Three years later, Jolie received her first prestigious film award, the Golden Globe. She won the award for best supporting actress in a television film for her role in the biopic George Wallace. "George Wallace", 1997
The following year, the actress again received a Golden Globe for her role as top model Gia Carangi in the television film Gia. "Gia", 1998
The role in “Gia” required a lot of emotional investment from the actress - Angelina took a short break from filming, but already in 1999, Jolie triumphantly returned to the big screen in the film “Girl, Interrupted.” “Life, Interrupted”, 2000
“Girl, Interrupted” was supposed to be a benefit performance for Winona Ryder, but the crazy sociopath played by Angelina Jolie overshadowed the performance of the main actress. “Girl, Interrupted” brought Jolie her third Golden Globe, as well as an Oscar and a Screen Actors Guild Award. “Life, Interrupted”, 2000
“Girl, Interrupted” provided the actress with tremendous success among critics and film fans, but Jolie remained unknown to the general public for some time. In the late 90s, she agreed to a “passing” role in the remake of the action movie “Gone in 60 Seconds,” but despite the commercial success, the film did not gain much popularity. "Gone in 60 Seconds", 2000
World fame fell on Angelina Jolie in the early 2000s - along with roles in the films of the Tomb Raider franchise, based on the video game of the same name. In 2001, the film “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” was released, two years later – “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 2 – The Cradle of Life”. "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider", 2001
For “The Cradle of Life,” Jolie received a fee of $12 million, becoming one of the highest paid actresses on the planet. In total, the two Lara Croft films have grossed over $430 million worldwide. "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 2 - The Cradle of Life", 2003
The press criticized the films for their lack of artistic value, but the action packed with stunts was extremely popular, and Jolie, who performed all her scenes without an understudy, turned into a star of the first magnitude. "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 2 - The Cradle of Life", 2003
During the filming of the first film about Lara Croft, Angelina Jolie visited Cambodia. According to her, the humanitarian disaster in this country made a great impression on her. The actress contacted the UN, began regularly visiting refugee camps and donating money. www.globallookpress.com
At the same time, as part of her humanitarian trips, Angelina Jolie lived in the same conditions as the locals, and also performed all the work required of the residents of these places. As a result, the UN named the actress a goodwill ambassador for the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees. www.globallookpress.com

At the same time, her career continued to gain momentum. In 2006, the youth action film Mr. and Mrs. Smith was released, where Brad Pitt became Jolie’s partner on the set. Later, a romance broke out between them, and in January 2006 it became known that the couple would have a child. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", 2005
In the late 2000s, Jolie also took part in a number of high-profile projects of various genres - she voiced the cartoon “Kung Fu Panda”, played leading roles in the films “Wanted”, “Salt” and “Tourist”. "Tourist", 2010
Angelina Jolie's latest project was filmed by Walt Disney Co. movie "Maleficent". At the same time, the actress is now working on the sequel to Salt, as well as the third part of the cartoon Kung Fu Panda. "Maleficent", 2014
Tom Hiddleston
According to another version, Tom Hiddleston has been Angelina Jolie's lover for several months. According to friends of the actress, the actors were brought together by Chris Hemsworth, with whom Hiddleston worked together on the film Thor. Insiders claim that at the Golden Globe Awards, Chris impressed Angelina so much with stories about Hiddleston that she took Tom's number. At first, Hiddleston and Jolie only corresponded, and when the actress began to come to the UK more often to film the sequel to Maleficent, a romance began between them. The reason why Tom and Angie are hiding their relationship is said to be their pending divorce from Brad Pitt. “She keeps everything a secret, but her close friends still notice that she has become much happier. Until the divorce from Brad is finalized, Angie does not want to comment or tell the press anything,” insiders say.

Loud scandals of the “ugly” divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The actress is delaying her divorce from Brad Pitt. Again? We're not surprised. What problems plague the star couple during their three-year divorce?
Scandal 1. About how lawyers are afraid of Jolie and run away from the star actress.
A representative for Angelina Jolie previously denied that the reason for the departure of Jolie's lawyer Laura Wasser was related to her famous client's "hostile, toxic behavior." However, this was precisely the reason given by Wasser's assistants. Wasser's representatives reported that it was "incredibly difficult for the lawyer to deal with such a stubborn and angry client."
It is quite possible that today Jolie has pulled herself together and is trying to improve relations with her lawyer because of the information and noise that arose after the publication on the TMZ channel. Jolie's rep said: "I spoke to Laura Wasser, she is not leaving, the characterization of the problems between Jolie and Wasser is incorrect." However, a representative confirmed that Angelina Jolie is hiring a different law firm, with an entirely new group of attorneys and experts. Jolie's struggle for children, as her secretary says, is entering a “new phase.”
TMZ reported that Jolie's custody battle was getting "ugly" and that Ms. Wasser could not stand it and intended to leave.
A source connected to Pitt, 54, told TMZ they believe Jolie wants to completely "kill any relationship he had with his children." It is also claimed that the actress is "fueled by anger and has become ridiculously unreasonable."
Lawyer Laura Wasser has worked with high-profile divorce cases involving couples: Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Heidi Klum and Seal, and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. The lawyer has always advocated for joint custody of parents over children.
It was previously reported that in June, a judge advised Jolie "not to use children as pawns." Pitt was given a summer schedule to see his children while Jolie was filming Maleficent in London. Jolie was outraged and wanted to prohibit her father from meeting with the children, but then it turned out that she would violate the court decision and could lose custody. According to court documents, the children's lack of contact with their father would be "harmful" to the children.
It was also reported that Brad Pitt banned his children, Shiloh and Knox, from appearing in episodes of the film Maleficent 2, which completely angered Angelina. The source stated that Jolie and Pitt do not speak or communicate.
The couple split in 2020 following Jolie's reports that Brad Pitt abused his son Maddkos during an incident on board a private jet.
Scandal 2. Does Jolie need Pitt's money?
Brad Pitt has paid out "millions" in support of his six children during his two-year divorce battle, despite claims from his ex Angelina Jolie that he doesn't contribute enough money for daily expenses.
A statement filed Aug. 8 by his attorneys said he loaned his ex more than $8 million to help her purchase her current residence.
He also paid more than $1.3 million in bills to benefit [Jolie] and minor children.
Brad's lawyers say Angelina's claims that he does not provide child support are designed to increase conflict.
What's more, Brad spends several hundred thousand dollars on therapists for his six children, including travel expenses and 24-hour bodyguards. Pitt's friends say Jolie wants to "destroy" Pitt by making him a victim father. On Tuesday, Jolie filed another statement with the court that her ex-husband does not support the children financially.
“The divorce case was private and was being heard by a family judge. But she filed the case in Los Angeles Superior Court, knowing it would be public. She wanted publicity,” Pitt’s friends say.
Another insider said: "Brad Pitt has actually provided financial support that is 'far greater than any informal agreement' and far more than any judge would have ordered. After all, there is order."
Angelina Jolie demanded that the divorce be completed by the end of 2018, but in the end she delayed it herself, filing many lawsuits and changing demands.
The actress's net worth is $160 million. Brad Pitt's net worth is $240 million.
Jolie filed for divorce in 2020, citing irreconcilable evidence. It comes amid allegations that Pitt was rough with one of the children on board a private jet.
It was also previously reported that Angelina Jolie’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, refuses to work with the actress because of her “toxicity.”
It was previously reported that insiders close to Pitt and Jolie are confident that Angelina Jolie, 44 years old, is deliberately delaying the divorce process with Brad Pitt, 56 years old. The actress herself filed for divorce in 2020. The Hollywood stars got married in 2014, having lived together for more than eight years.
However, as The Sun previously stated, Brad Pitt is not interested in reconciliation and just wants "everything to be resolved."
The former spouses continue to sort out the legal details of their divorce, but according to insiders, Jolie has changed her mind and wants to revive the marriage.
Sources close to Jolie say: “She wants her and Brad to become a family again. Jolie made this clear to Brad. She is slowing down the divorce with her strange requests, it became clear to the lawyers that Angelina does not force the divorce with the intention of not getting a divorce.”
A source close to Brad Pitt states: “Brad just wants things to work out quickly. But she won't let him go."
Lately, Angelina Jolie often shows herself and her children in front of the paparazzi and on red carpets. Jolie goes out with her children publicly, not hiding her appearances from the paparazzi. When, like Brad, he meets with children intimately, unnoticed, but regularly. Pitt does not make his meetings with children public and does not advertise them.
Sean Penn
In March, Hollywood Life reported that Angelina Jolie was having an affair with Sean Penn. Insiders said that Jolie and Penn communicate regularly and spend a lot of time together. Interestingly, the actors have known each other for more than seven years, and Penn is still Pitt’s best friend. According to the publication's sources, Sean even talked to Brad about his possible relationship with Jolie. At the same time, reports appeared in the press that Sean Penn was dating Amber Heard, but they were not confirmed - in fact, Johnny Depp's ex-wife is having an affair with Vito Schnabel.
Stars' plans for the future
It recently became known that Angelina intends to adopt another child. This is a boy from Syria. However, the news was later denied. Currently, the actress is completely absorbed in caring for her children. She even postponed filming in England.
Brad, according to some reports, started a new romance with a charming woman professor Neri Oxman. They had a common hobby - archaeology. But whether the actor is going to make a serious decision about this is unknown.
Ed Skrein
Most of Jolie's romances began on the set. Now Angie is playing in the second part of the film “Maleficent”, where 35-year-old actor Ed Skrein became her partner, and reports have already appeared in foreign media that Jolie and Skrein are having an affair. According to insiders, during breaks between filming, Angelina and Ed talk for a long time and sometimes meet in their free time. It is known that Skrein has a wife who is far from show business. Together they raise a son named Marley.
Brad Pitt
Many fans of “Brangelina” do not lose hope that the former spouses will eventually get back together. And there really is such a possibility, say sources close to Jolie and Pitt. According to insiders, despite the unresolved issue of child custody, Pitt would not mind trying to renew the relationship. “They care about each other and really want to figure things out,” a friend of the actors explained.
