Angelina Jolie is one of the most talented and renowned actresses in Hollywood. Throughout her extensive career she was part of a host of hits and having her on her tapes is any producer's dream.
Although she is reluctant to admit it, her talent is also inherited from her, and this is the case of the actress, daughter of renowned actor Jon Voight.
The relationship between the movie star and her father, however, is not positive at all. Although it could be said that she took her first steps in acting thanks to him, the man disappointed her in the worst way and that made it impossible to form the bond that every father and daughter should have.
To understand what happened, you have to go back to the 70s when Jon Voight was one of the actors of the moment. While his career was on the rise, he met Marcheline Bertrand, whom he married and had two children, Angelina Jolie and her brother, James Haven.
During the first years of the actress's life, she remembers her mother suffering from her because of her father's constant infidelities. Everything got to such a point that they had to separate because the relationship was very broken. The divorce was made official in 1980, and the movie star continued his following years in an environment where resentment and abandonment reigned.
Jon Voight not only separated from his wife but left his children and their upbringing in the mother's hands, without being present or caring about them. The irony was that the actor donated large sums of money to charities but did not contribute a single peso for Angelina Jolie and her brother, who were having a hard economic present.
“I never had a house to grow up in, I never had a home. We lived in many apartments, I bought clothes in second-hand stores and we never had anything," the actress admitted years later. In addition, at that same time, she referred, Look to her father and said: “He was not like a father. He was a complicated man, whom he tried to understand and whom I always wanted to love. But we attacked each other because we both believed we were right."
Although when Angelina Jolie was six years old, she joined the cast of the comedy Lookin' to get out in which he also starred, they did not see each other outside the set. That led her to grow up with many problems that made her have a complicated and self-destructive adolescence, in which she consumed many substances, she collected weapons, and even thought about ending her life.
Life led them to meet again on more than one occasion, but she tries not to talk about what happened in the past. As it became known, it was because of her children that she wanted to rebuild the bond so that they can enjoy the presence of her grandfather in her life.
