The award-winning actress believes that most people can relate to Ivan's character because of the different sides to his personality.

In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Jolie is also making sure to keep her children close while at home.
Earlier this year, Jolie's eldest son Maddox returned to the United States from his studies at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, after his semester was canceled because of the virus.
