The answer is not farfetched. It is Angelina Jolie. In the 2010 movie SALT, Angelina
Jolie hides her character’s identity by transforming into a man. She has many
disguises in the movie, but this was the most drastic.
She is
one of the most gorgeous ladies in the world and the last person you’d envision
as a male. But that’s exactly what she became in the 2010 movie Salt. To create
the astonishing transition for the film, the Hollywood diva spent hours in
make-up, donning artificial ears, a fake nose, and a rubber neck covering.
When
her family came to see her on set in New York, husband Brad Pitt refused to
kiss her and their nine-year-old adopted son Maddox did not recognize her.
Angelina
said: “I invited Maddox to come and say, ‘Hi’ and didn’t tell him who I was. He
hung out with me for a while until I said ‘Mad’, and he screamed ‘Mom’. He was
freaked out. Brad wouldn’t kiss me, he wouldn’t go there, either.”
Salt
was a platform for Jolie to showcase her action and acting skills, and while
the picture itself had a somewhat conventional storyline, her performance and
some solid setpieces made it worthwhile. The movie made almost $300
million and was expected to launch a new franchise, but nearly a decade later,
it’s evident that won’t happen.
Angelina Jolie
Rejected the Script for SALT 2
Salt 2
was created in the years that followed, although it doesn’t appear to have
gained any momentum. In 2012, Jolie turned down a draft for Salt 2, and while
news of the sequel’s development continued, the actress’ involvement remained a
mystery. While Salt was a blockbuster, it wasn’t a box-office hit, so Sony
probably decided to let the project die quietly after years of unproductive
development.
