Angelina Jolie once tried to hire a hitman to kill herself, because she felt a murder would be easier on her family than her committing suicide. The hitman talked her out of it by asking her to wait one month.

The Maleficent actress speaks with The Face about the incident and why she felt forced to hire a hitman to carry out her murder.

“They’re not that hard to find in New York,” she said. “As insane as it sounds, I think a lot of people consider suicide when they’re young,” Jolie admitted.⁠

“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,” Jolie added.

“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.“⁠⁠

She even went so far as to hire the contract killer, stating that she planned to “draw out funds over a particular period of time, so there wasn’t a significant chunk in my bank account” to pay the murderer.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t Jolie who had a change of heart; instead, the hitman urged her to live.

She explained: “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.”⁠

As strange as it may sound, Jolie is here today because of a hitman with a conscience. Jolie’s mental health issues didn’t end that day; she would have a nervous breakdown at the age of 24, but once she had her first child, she found the stability she had always desired.
