Angelina Jolie Loves Being in Menopause

“I will not be able to have any more children, and I expect a few physical changes”, she wrote, noting the procedure would cause early menopause. She had her second surgery earlier this year after “a scare”.

Angelina Jolie thinks that Brad Pit, 52-year-old heartthrob gets better with age and is looking forward to growing old with him. We have 250 children in a scene, so I filled the house, my auto, my trailer with toys. “I don’t want to be young again”, she said. She said, “I’m more interested in his 50-year-old self than his 40 year-old-self”. Jolie told The NY Times at the time that she made a decision to take action after she tested positive for the mutated BRCA1 gene, with her doctors estimating that she had an “87 per cent risk of breast cancer and a 50 per cent risk of ovarian cancer”.

The By the Sea writer/director/star told PEOPLE in its latest issue how her recent health choices affected shooting for her latest film, which also stars husband Brad Pitt.

“[The film] was written before I had the mastectomy”.

For Jolie, deciding to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes as a cancer prevention tactic was influenced by her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died after a long battle with cancer.

Jolie’s husband, Brad Pitt, was there by her side every step of the way and commended his wife for having “no vanity”. Jolie revealed. “One day he came up to me and said, ‘Really interesting script, Mom'”.

Jolie has made no effort to keep her preventative surgeries a secret from the public eye- rather, using them as a platform for educating and informing women on how to have a better understanding of their options when dealing with cancer.
