Angela Jolie appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine.

The 42-year-old actress revealed that in addition to high blood pressure, she also has to fight Bell's Palsy. Bell's Palsy is a condition of facial paralysis, caused by compression and inflammation of the seventh cranial nerve, which makes it unable to control the muscles in the face and causes the muscles to stiffen, numb and lose elasticity when speaking or laughing, causing the face to be distorted on one side.

Sharing about her condition, Angelina expressed: "I don't know if it's because I'm in menopause or because of the turbulent year I've been through. Sometimes, women in the family put themselves last, until it's too obvious through their health."

The actress also underwent an oophorectomy in 2015 and a mastectomy in 2013 after discovering she carried a gene mutation that put her at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer. She also said she had to deal with graying hair and dry skin.

When asked about her divorce from Brad Pitt, Angelina shared that in the summer of 2016, during the post-production phase of the movie "First They Killed My Father" that Angelina directed, her relationship with her husband became worse. The actress said that everything was difficult at that time.

She also denied rumors that their lifestyle differences were the cause of the rift. Angelina insisted that their lifestyle was not negative.

“It’s not a problem,” she said. “That life has always been one of the greatest opportunities we’ve given them. They’re now six strong, confident, and very mature people. I’m very proud of them.”

Jolie praised her children for being strong throughout their parents' divorce turmoil.

Regarding the divorce agreement, Angelina and Brad Pitt are still working on it. She said that she and her children are recovering psychologically from the events that happened. Angelina Jolie expressed: "We are all recovering psychologically from the events that led to the decision to file for divorce. My children are not hurt by the divorce but by many other things in life."

“I don’t want my kids to worry about me,” Angie said. “If I have to cry, I have to cry in the bathroom, not in front of them. They need to know that everything is okay, even if you don’t know it yourself.”
