Shocked, Jimmy asked, “Why?” how? “
Angelina insisted, “I don’t know what that means, though?” She went on to explain why she decided to consider the job.
The 49-year-old said: “When my grandfather passed away, I remember thinking, ‘This is not what they’re supposed to be.'” This should be a celebration of life. “And because I wasn’t afraid of death and I was comfortable with death, I thought, “This would be a great career path for me.” ”
Jolie remembers thinking: Maybe we can do something here. ”
She added with a smile: “It’s my alternative career now.”
When asked about rumors that she wants to become a pilot, Fallon said, “Yes, I am a pilot,” adding, “My son Maddox is also currently training to become a pilot.”

People magazine reports that Jolie received her pilot’s license in 2004, and it appears the star is more comfortable in the air than standing up.
“That’s definitely no,” she told Jimmy about rumors of wanting to become a comedian.
“I could handle funerals. I’d be fine at 10,000 feet, but no, what you do is scary,” she said.
However, Jolie faced fear when it came to singing in the movie “Maria.”
Mona Kosar Abdi of “Extra” recently spoke with Angelina about playing the role of famous opera singer Maria Callas.
Angelina said, “I was so scared to sing, so nervous to do anything, but I’ve always found it.As an artist, I like scary things because it’s a gift.”
She also talked about showing her vulnerable side in front of her six children while filming the movie.
Angie said, “They told me they were proud of how hard I worked. When they say they don’t talk about winning awards, they don’t talk about anything, I think they… “She works so hard,” I hear you say. So I think it’s really nice for them to see me working hard and that makes me very happy. ”
Jolie added, “I was so happy to be with them, and definitely they could see that I was scared. That’s a problem too. I don’t normally have to be this vulnerable in front of kids.” “I don’t really share things with them. Sometimes I actually cry or even get angry in front of my children.” They were very protective because I was scared in front of them. ”
