Angelina Jolie gets emotional over late mother’s cancer battle at TIFF

Angelina Jolie is remembering her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

The Oscar winner, 50, got emotional talking about her mom’s 2007 cancer death at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday.

During a Q&A for Jolie’s new movie, “Couture,” an audience member who recently lost a friend to cancer asked the actress and her co-stars what their message of “hope” is for those struggling with grief.

“I’m very sorry for your loss,” Jolie responded while she got choked up, as seen in a TikTok video from the event.

After getting her composure, Jolie continued, “I think I will say that one thing I remember my mother saying when she had cancer, she said to me once, we had had a dinner and people were asking her how she was feeling and she said, ‘All anybody ever asks me about is cancer.'”

“So I would say, if you know someone who is going through something, ask them about everything else in their life as well, you know?” Jolie told the fan. “They’re a whole person and they’re still living.”
