In April, Jolie spoke to ET and opened up on how her personal life has affected her work in recent years. She also shared how her divorce from Brad Pitt made her stop directing.

The "Maleficent" actress expressed her love for directing but noted that a change in her family situation made it impossible for her to direct for a few years. She also said:

"I needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so I kind of went back to doing a few acting jobs. That's really the truth of it."
