Angelina Jolie has recently made a bold decision to revamp her image in Hollywood after Oscar snub.
The Maria actress reportedly didn’t get nominated for any awards at the 2025 Oscars which she believed was because of keeping other celebs at arms’ length as she rose to top.
However, her former husband Brad Pitt became popular by spending time with powerful stars like George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio.
So, this year’s awards season, Angelina thought to change her ways and she started at the Critics’ Choice Awards where she hugged Demi Moore.
Earlier in January, she shared embrace with Kate Winslet and Salma Hayek at the Golden Globe Awards. At the Palm Springs Film Awards, she had a conversation with Nicole Kidman.
A source spilled to DailyMail.com, “Angelina knows what she is doing, it’s on purpose.
“She is reaching out in the Hollywood community to make new friends. And she loves it,” said an insider.
The source told the outlet that Angelina “likes making new female friends, and she has tremendous respect for her famous pals. It’s a good thing”.
Another source revealed that the actress’ best friend like Salma also pushed Angelina to show her warmer side.
“Salma is a mentor type; she helps a lot of her buddies. She really cares. And I know Angelina looks up to her,” explained an insider.
Meanwhile, the source added, “Salma encourages Angelina to show her warmer side.”
