Angelina Jolie Is Shy

November 5th, 2007 // 20 Comments

And here we thought she was all about taking the bull by the horns and riding it far out in the fields of uninhibited ecstasy. Nope. Angelina Jolie worked naked for the new flick “Beowulf”. The film is basically actors being animated but her one and 1/2 days of work involved her being nude as some kind of golden lizard goddess. That’s pretty fitting, actually. The Most Beautiful Woman In The World says that she suddenly felt kinda bashful.

“I was really surprised that I felt that exposed,” Jolie, 32, said at a press conference for the film in Los Angeles.

“There are certain moments where I felt actually shy – and called home, just to explain that the fun movie that I had done that was digital animation was, in fact, a little different than [what] we expected,” she says.

Jolie – who in her role as a temptress killer lizard is painted gold but animated without clothes – explains, “I didn’t expect ourselves to come out as much. I didn’t expect it to feel as real, and so because of especially the type of character I play, it was kind of funny at first.”

Seriously, pre-United Nations Mother Goddess schtick this woulda been so up her alley. Being outre and scandalous was totally her bag! She was wearing Billy Bob Thorton’s blood in a vial around her neck! And suddenly she’s practically wearing hoopskirts and bustles and carrying a parasol. What a difference a husband-stealing can make.

    Loved the write-up J. Harvey…laughing!

    Yeah, she’s shy…uh huh…

  2. Nanc'

    I too have a hard time believing she is shy but mostly, I hate to see the “strain” in her face from being too thin. She has a rep of being “wild” but maybe she was just “young” and has outgrown that phase. I just hope she gains a few pounds…soon.

    She did not steal anything Harvey. He was so done with Jen way before Angie….Be nice

  4. meme

    damn, this bitch is so full of shit.

    J. Harvey…the marriage of Brad and Jennifer were over before angelina…they had problems with Jen not willing to cut down on her “Friends”
    sitcom gig time.

  6. Jennifer

    If Jen and Brad’s marriage was so “over” before Angelina came along, why didn’t they get divorced before Angelina came along? I guess the fact that they didn’t divorce until she came along was just a coincidence, right loonies?

  7. someone

    Angelina hasn’t had a shy day in her entire life, shes full of it…

  8. unknown

    Jennifer the voice of common decency and sense! I am so there with you and me me! Give me a break! I hope to heaven she is not pregnant so we don’t have to listen to more bs!

  9. green cardigan

    One these fine days, she is going to reveal that she was a virgin when she met Brad, and then her sainthood will be complete.

    Amen.

  10. nastybugger

    yes, loonies, shiloh was conceived BEFORE the divorce was final…if you REALLY believe that Brad and Angie weren’t messing around before he and Jen split, I have a bridge to sell you.

    oh, and “shy” my ASS. so, french kissing your brother and talking freely about your sex life with your current lover are OK, but a computer-generated image of your nude body is not?! does this woman remember ANYTHING she’s ever said?

    I thought promenading as a gold (naked) lizard was in character for her–ok the real angie is back with her badass self!!

    And now she decides she is shy, WTF?

    AJ continues to be more preposterous (contrary to nature, reason or common sense) when she opens her mouth and I think she does it when the public interest wanes. “OK, I’m not in the press this week so I better say or do something that will get some attention”–but is that the best she could come up with?

    I wish she would start wearing some long gloves–it hurts to look at those veiny arms–her face looks pretty skeletal in these pictures.

    Angelina Jolie is everything, people (mother theresa/the seductress, the good girl/the ho, the charity giver/the vamp,…

    most borderline personality types are…it’s called “unstable identity” issues. Read the DSM.

    She did not WORK nude – she worked in a CGI full body jumpsuit for motion capture and she was ANIMATED nude. That’s why she was so surprised at how revealing it was. Get your story straight!

  14. anonymous

    She a grown woman, signed a contract to do a movie, after the reading the script and knowing the particulars, somehow, didn’t know what they would do with her body in this movie. BS.

    If you look closely at the face shots, check out Just Jared- you’ll see the pupils are way dialated. Under the influence of some narcotic?.

  15. anonymous

    She signed on to do this flick before she and Brad broke up his marraige. That achieved, she had to do major spin control by becoming the next Mother Teresa(not).

    Thus the continuing pretense that she’s sexually inexperienced(I slept with this # and married this #). Now, she’s sexually shy. Let’s looks back at all the pics she’s taken since coming onto the acting scene. Take a look at naked picture in Vanity Fair earlier this year, that’s the one where she’s wearing only a piece of cloth.

    Jesus people, let it go already!

    HUSBAND-STEALER!!!

  18. Shelly

    Did you know that the widow Pearl broke up a marrige also?
    Yep another reporter from CNN and he also has 2 children…those two skanks are 2 peas in a pod!
    That poor guy had to resign afer 17rs with the network.

    Faked modesty and constant contradictions from a personality distorted personality. I’m sure its OK too to be a pacifist and star in very violent movies or advocate mothering while never being home to see them. Or feel sorry for starving children while looking like a skeleton yourself.

    Narcissistic psycho. She and Madonna ought to become best friends.
