Shortly after her split from Brad Pitt in 2017, Angelina Jolie purchased the mansion where filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille lived (“ The Ten Commandments ”), at the time for a price of $ 24.5 million. , or about 135 million reais.
Located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Hollywood, the house is occupied by Jolie and her 19-year-old sons Maddox, Pax (17), Zahara (16), Shiloh (14) and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
In an interview with Vogue, the “ Maleficent ” and “ Tomb Raider ” star said that somehow she predicted that her new home would eventually become a shelter during the coronavirus pandemic.
“What I like most about this house is that I feel free even within four walls. I was never very good at standing still, I always imagined myself traveling in jungles somewhere far away because I don’t think I was born to be a housewife in the traditional sense ”, he said. she declared.
In addition to the 1000m², the mansion has six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a state-of-the-art gym, a library with personalized shelves from floor to ceiling and a dining room overlooking the gigantic tree-lined courtyard.
Indeed, the property underwent a restoration that lasted at least six years, in order to expand the common areas without harming the vintage look built in the 1910s.
Jolie also said she chose the house because the architecture reminds her of mythological storytelling scenarios in which her imagination takes wings.
“It’s hard not to be dazzled by every detail of the house, even though I’ve lived here for years, there is always something new to discover. In addition, I love the fact that there is no entertainment room, but many paths and places to walk and reflect. I’m very happy that we have this now. It is a place where my imagination takes flight, a place of protection where bad thoughts do not reach me.
