Angelina Jolie reveals she lied about THIS to bag the role of Maria Callas in her biopic

Angelina Jolie admitted to lying to secure the role of opera legend Maria Callas in her upcoming biopic. Despite lacking singing experience, she told director Pablo Larrain that she could sing, doing whatever was necessary to land the part.

Angelina's performance in her upcoming biopic of Maria Callas has already earned her a Golden Globe nomination. This could potentially pave the way for an Oscar nomination when the Academy Awards take place in March 2025, though we’ll have to wait and see if the recognition follows.

At the Palm Springs Film Festival, Jolie shared how a past comment about her vocal skills almost held her back, but she persevered. She stars in director Pablo Larraín's biopic of Maria Callas, which explores the opera singer's final days. Jolie’s performance has already caught attention and is drawing interest for potential award nominations.

The actress revealed that a past experience where someone dismissed her singing ability left a lasting impact on her. It made her shut down that part of herself, and she never spoke about it. Despite this, she overcame it while preparing for her role as Maria Callas in the biopic.

Jolie also shared that when director Pablo Larraín offered her the role of Maria Callas, he asked if she could sing. She admitted to lying in response, claiming she could, even though she had no singing experience. She expressed that while no one could sing like Maria, she was committed to giving her best effort for the role.
