Angelina Jolie <\/strong>had an emotional moment at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2025<\/strong> when she teared up while recalling her late mother\u2019s words<\/strong> about cancer. The actress attended the world premiere of Couture, her new film, where she plays a director who learns she has breast cancer, a storyline that closely mirrors her own life experiences.<\/p>\n During the Q&A session, an audience member asked Angelina Jolie to give some advice to the person who had recently lost a close one to cancer.<\/strong> The actress paused and cried a bit before saying, \u201cI\u2019m very sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n She then shared a memory of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of cancer in 2007. \u201cI think I will say that, one thing I remember my mother saying when she had cancer, she said to me once, we had had a dinner and people were asking her how she was feeling and what she was doing, and she said, \u2018All anybody ever asks me about is cancer.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo I would say, if you know someone who\u2019s going through something, ask them about everything else in their life as well. They\u2019re a whole person, and they\u2019re still living,\u201d Jolie added.<\/p>\n This theme is central to Couture, which Angelina Jolie noted strives to show its protagonist, Maxine, as a multifaceted woman. She is a mother, an artist, and a sexual being who is navigating her diagnosis while continuing to live her life fully.<\/p>\n Jolie\u2019s connection to the material is intensely personal. In 2013, she publicly revealed<\/a> she had undergone a preventive double mastectomy after genetic testing showed she carried the BRCA1 gene, which dramatically increased her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.<\/p>\n She made the decision, she wrote at the time, to reassure her children that they wouldn\u2019t lose her to the disease as they had their grandmother.<\/p>\n Directed by Alice Winocour, Couture also stars Louis Garrel, Ella Rumpf, and features model Anyier Anei in her acting debut.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Devanshi Basu on <\/em>ComingSoon.net<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Angelina Jolie Breaks Down in Tears Over Her Mother\u2019s Words at Premiere of New Movie<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Angelina Jolie had an emotional moment at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2025 when she teared up while recalling her late mother\u2019s words about cancer.
