“This is going to sound insane, but there was a time I was going to hire somebody to k:ill me,” she said, as per The Herald. The Lara Croft actress explained that she decided not to commit suicide, as “with suicide comes all the guilt of people around you thinking they could have done something.”

However, she claimed that getting k:illed might not have been the same, saying, “With somebody being murdered, nobody takes some kind of guilty responsibility.” The actress also suggests that she found who she was looking for, as she shared that they made her rethink what she was about to do.

“The person spoke very sweetly to me. He made me think about it for a month,” she said. Jolie shared that after a month, she no longer had those thoughts as things changed for good, and she was surviving again.

Angelina Jolie’s Children Gave Her a Reason to Live

Angelina Jolie is a mother to six children, and in a recent interview with Vogue, she shared that her children saved her. Talking about how motherhood helped her mental health, she said, “My entire life changed. Having children saved me — and taught me to be in this world differently.”

The Maleficent star has earlier opened up about feeling mental health struggles, as she shared that despite having earned so much she was still not happy. She told ABC News in 2003,

“I remember one of the most upsetting times in my life was after I had attained success, financial stability and I was in love, and I thought, ‘I have everything that they say you should have to be happy and I’m not happy.”

Jolie shared that if it wasn’t for her children, she would have been in a much darker place. She has six children, three adopted and three biological. She has adopted Maddox, Zahara, and Pax and shares three children, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne, with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
