Angelina Jolie revealed how she releases her own ‘private pain’ through song as she alluded to her split from ex husband Brad Pitt.

The actress, 49, split from her film star husband after a disputed incident on a plane in 2016.

In her latest cover shoot for Vogue Mexico’s December edition, the actress, 49, discussed how she used her upcoming role as opera singer Maria Callas in a new biopic to deal with the pain.

Speaking about her role, she explained how opera made her visit the ‘deeper parts of myself’ and life as she learned to ‘access a new part of herself’ to sing.

‘I had to take a deep breath and let it all out, and in between that, I also had to let out my real voice… which I also didn’t really have, because it’s where I carried my private pain, my gentleness, and a lot of things that I felt I didn’t own, that I didn’t feel safe letting out, it also involved owning something that I didn’t want to deal with,’ she said.

‘There’s something that happens in these beautiful pieces of music that you can’t sing unless you can access a certain part of yourself.’

Angelina has said in court documents that Brad ᴀssaulted her and some of their six children and poured wine and beer on the family in a rage. He has always denied being violent towards her or the family.

She explained: ‘I hadn’t really understood how much we hold in our bodies, how much we carry throughout life and how all of that changes and affects our sound and our voice.

‘And I don’t just mean the audible part of our voice, but our true voice: the way we communicate with each other.’

Angelia, who spent six months learning how to sing for the film, looked incredible as she posed for a series of sultry snaps for the accompanying pH๏τoshoot.

Changing into second outfit, she opted for a sophisticated, plunging square neck dress and later added a brown fur coat.

Maria – which has already generated Oscars buzz following the trailer’s release – is slated for a limited theatrical release in the United States on November 27 – before dropping on Netflix on December 11.

The movie follows the life of famed opera singer Maria Callas, with the first trailer being released last week.

The film opens in the last days of the soprano’s life and looks back on all the triumphs and tragedies along the way.

Callas died of a heart attack at her Paris home on September 16, 1977. She was 53.

Angelina said that roles like Callas come along ‘once in a lifetime,’ adding, ‘I mean, it’s certainly the most challenging,’ ᴅᴇᴀᴅline reported.

To portray the opera singer, she spent seven months learning six of the late singer’s most famous arias.

The premise of the film is: ‘Maria Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, lives the last days of her life in 1970s Paris, as she confronts her idenтιтy and life,’ per an IMDB synopsis.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Pablo Larrain recalled working with Angelina and shooting a specific scene that brought him to tears.

‘We did that on the last day of shooting. We kept it for the very, very end. We had six-to-eight hours to do that. I operated the camera, so I was close to her, always.’

He expressed, ‘Angelina had to sing it out loud, with all of her power and humanity. By doing so, I asked her to feel the emotion and feel how broken she was in this moment of joy.’

The filmmaker added that, ‘sort of mix of demands and emotions was something very hard to do’ and admitted he ‘couldn’t believe how beautiful what was happening in front of the camera.’

The actress added: ‘There’s something that happens in these beautiful pieces of music that you can’t sing unless you can access a certain part of yourself’ (Callas seen in 1965)

‘I was in shock. I was moved to tears as I saw her burning herself to the point that I think it concludes the movie in an operatic way.’

While talking to The Hollywood Reporter in August, Angelina opened up about portraying Callas and taking singing lessons for the film.

‘It took many months of singing classes. Months of just getting the singing down and then the Italian classes and then the voice and doing all these things like her. You try to be precise,’ she explained.

‘I would recommend almost every human being take an opera class. To exist and never have sung with your full body as loud as you could possibly sing…’

The actress continued, ‘It’s something I think we should all feel. It’s scary, and it is rarely asked of us. It’s rarely asked of us in life to be all that we can be or feel all that we feel.’
