Angelina Jolie greeted a fan suffering from a rare bone disease on the red carpet of the 2024 Venice International Film Festival. According to a video taken by the fan and posted on social media, the 49-year-old star of «Maria» was seen on Thursday, August 29, kneeling on the carpet to be at the same level as the fan, who was later identified as Italian writer Pasqualino Esposito.
Although the conversation seemed brief, Angie’s decision made a big impression. Fans praised her for taking the time to chat with Pasqualino, who attended the festival in a portable medical bed. As she got up, the Oscar winner bid farewell to Pasqualino, who told The Hollywood Reporter about the lovely greeting he received from Angelina.
«She has a big heart», - he said in Italian, which was translated into English. «She is fantastic».
According to reports, Pasqualino suffers from a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta. According to the National Institutes of Health, this is a «genetic or inherited disorder in which bones break easily, often without apparent cause or minimal trauma». The condition is also known as «brittle bone disease». The writer has reportedly been attending the annual film festival for the past few years and has been given a spot on the red carpet to meet celebrities.
As for Angelina, she is known for her long-standing humanitarian work. She has focused on global issues such as women’s rights, conservation, and children’s education.
At the Venice Film Festival, the actress from the movie «Salt» presented her new film «Maria». After the screening, she received a standing ovation. The film tells the story of the real-life singer Maria Callas.
Before the event, Angelina appeared at a press conference and was asked if she could relate to the main character.
«There are many things I won’t say in this room that you probably know and assume», - Angelina said. «I touch on that part of her that is extremely soft and didn’t have a place in the world to be as soft as she really was, and to be as emotionally open as she really was. I think I relate to her vulnerability the most»
