Is Angelina Jolie Running for President?

Angelina Jolie for president? The actress-turned-filmmaker isn’t ruling out a political future, especially since she’s already involved in the United Nations.

Celebrities’ Political Affiliations

On the BBC’s Today radio show on Friday, December 28, host Justin Webb asked the 43-year-old if she would ever consider getting into politics.

“Honestly, if you asked me 20 years ago, I would’ve laughed,” Jolie replied. “I really don’t know. I always say I’ll go where I’m needed. I don’t know if I’m fit for politics … but then I’ve also joked that I don’t know if I have a skeleton left in my closet, so I’m pretty open and out there, and I can take a lot on the chin, so that’s good.”

The Maleficent star also cited her work as a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, a position to which she was appointed in 2012 after more than a decade as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.

“I’ll honestly do whatever I think can really make change, and right now I am able to work with a UN agency that is in the most in the field of all the UN agencies to do a lot of work directly with the people in need,” she told Webb.

Celebrity Activists

Jolie, who shares six children with estranged husband Brad Pitt, added: “I’m also able to work with governments, and I’m also able to work with militaries, and so I sit in a very interesting place of being able to get a lot done without a title and without it being about myself or my policies. So, for now, I’ll stay quiet.”

When Webb said he’d put Jolie on the list of contenders for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, she thanked him. And when he noted that she wasn’t rejecting the idea, she laughed.

Stars Who Played the President

The Oscar winner isn’t the only celebrity whose name has been put forward as a possible 2020 candidate — others include Dwayne Johnson and Kanye West.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
