This famous couple had a short period of love while playing mother and son.

Cases of “relatives on film – falling in love in real life” happen more often than the audience imagines, when even the Hollywood market has no shortage of them. There was once a famous couple who developed feelings for each other even though on screen, the two of them played the roles of mother and son.

In 2004, Angelina Jolie was chosen to play the female lead of the film Alexander , playing Queen Olympias. This character is the mother of the male lead Alexander, played by actor Colin Farrell. In the early stages of the film, Olympias has a strong impact on his son Alexander by helping him discover and appreciate many aspects of life, such as love, music, poetry and even fighting.

Despite gathering a huge cast of stars, Alexander was a huge failure in terms of both revenue and professional evaluation. The film also faced a boycott by the Greek legal community. The film was also nominated for 6 Golden Raspberry categories but did not win any awards.

In addition to the problems caused by the film’s content, Alexander is more famous thanks to the “stealthy” love story of the two stars in the film – Angelina Jolie and Colin Farrell. At the time of filming Alexander , Jolie and Farrell were “exposed” about their love story by Hollywood media. The two had many passionate moments on set, but things couldn’t go any further after that.

At that time, Jolie was said to want to have a serious and long-term relationship with Farrell, but the actor’s “wild horse” nature at that time did not allow that.

Much later, in an interview with Cinema.com, Colin Farrell commented that Angelina Jolie was closest to his ideal partner, and expressed regret for the past incident. More worth mentioning, the time of filming Alexander was also when the pairing between Jolie and Brad Pitt was brewing. Only when things didn’t work out with Farrell did Jolie truly devote herself to the movie star Troy.

Currently, Angelina Jolie and Colin Farrell no longer have much to do with each other. The last time the two had contact was when Jolie took her children to see the movie Dumbo starring a male actor. Farrell has rarely acted in films but is still extremely successful (most recently winning a Golden Globe), while Jolie is still devoting herself to art but in other positions besides acting (typically as a director). )

At the age of U50, Angelina Jolie is still one of the most powerful female stars in the entertainment industry, possessing a beauty that is considered a “world treasure”. She also became the most beautiful woman in the world in 2009, or titles such as most influential, most desired by men…
