Angelina Jolie reveals she once hired hitman to plan her own murd3r aged 22

Angelina Jolie once hired a hitman to plan her own murd3r as she battled suicidal thoughts in the past

The Oscar-winning actress, 49, who is still embroiled in a divorce battle with Brad Pitt, 60, first revealed back in 2001 that she spoke to an assassin during a ‘rather bleak’ time in her life aged 22.

She told IMDB: ‘This is going to sound insane but there was a time I was going to hire somebody to k!ll me.’

She said she would rather have been murdered than take her own life as the death would have been easier for her loved ones to deal with.

Opening up further in a 2003 The Face interview she said of locating a hitman: ‘They’re not that hard to find in New York. As insane as it sounds, I think a lot of people consider suicide when they’re young.

‘I was very aware that so many people around me, like my mother, would feel as though they didn’t give enough or do enough, if I’d taken my own life. So my solution to that was if someone else had taken my life – like in a ‘robbery’ – then it would be murder and it wouldn’t be that anyone would feel they’d let me down.

Jolie said she planned to ‘take out cash over a certain amount of time, so there wasn’t a big chunk in my bank account’ to the killer.

However the hitman had a surprising response, with Jolie saying: ‘He was a decent enough person and asked if I could think about it and call him again in two months. Something changed in my life and I figured I’d stick it out.
