Angelina Jolie Eyes European Exile: “I Don’t Recognize My Country” Hollywood icon Angelina Jolie is reportedly “excited” to finally close her chapter in the United States, with sources indicating a permanent move to Europe is imminent. The Oscar winner, 50, has long expressed a desire to flee the “shallow” atmosphere of Los Angeles, but her relocation was legally stalled by a protracted custody battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt. The fire beneath these rumors was stoked during the San Sebastián Film Festival in September 2025. When asked about the current political climate in America, Jolie gave a haunting response: “I love my country, but I don’t at this time recognize my country.” She cited growing concerns over divisions and threats to personal freedoms as “dangerous” and “heavy.” Insiders suggest London and Paris are front-runners for her new base. With her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, set to turn 18 in July 2026, Jolie is finally free to pursue the international, “humanity-centered” life she has craved. For Jolie, this isn’t just a move—it’s an escape to a place where she can find the “privacy, peace, and safety” she feels is vanishing from her home soil.
