Angelina Jolie has revealed that she had a "meltdown" prior to shooting her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey. She told Marie Claire magazine that the pressure of making the movie took a toll on her emotions.
"I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad found me crying. I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small. 'Who am I to take this on?'" she said.
Jolie also reiterated that she doesn't consider herself a director and only took on In the Land of Blood and Honey because she felt an intense connection to the Bosnian War story.
"I didn't plan to become a director, and I still have trouble saying I'm a director," she said. "I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up by default being the director.
"It was a pleasure, but I wonder if it would be a pleasure with another cast and crew, and a subject matter that wasn't so special."Jolie previously suggested that the Golden Globe-nominated In the Land of Blood and Honeycombined her passions for filmmaking and social advocacy.
The movie is now playing in limited release in US cinemas.
