14 DAY TRIAL // She may be young, but she's got the personality. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the daughter of the most famous couple of actors on the planet Earth, may be young, but she's no pushover. Angelina confirms that her daughter turned down the role of Princess Aurora in the Disney remake of Sleeping Beauty called “Maleficent.”
We now know for a fact that Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, Shiloh's younger sister, plays the young Princess Aurora in the movie, simply because she was the only child out there that wasn't scared on Angie's horns from her Maleficent costume.
Now we're finding out that the role was originally supposed to go to Shiloh. In her interview with Elle, Angelina confesses that “I asked Shiloh about being Aurora, and she laughed in my face. She said she'd be a horned creature.”
Like mother, like daughter one could say, because Angelina was also known as a wild child during her younger days, playing with knives and rebelling against her parents. Granted, Shiloh has an early start on her mother, but it looks like she's heading in the same direction.
Fortunately for Angelina and the movie, her younger daughter Vivienne was much more excited about dressing up as a princess and getting a role in a fairy tale movie. Angie describes the casting process, “My little Vivienne - we call her my shadow, because there's nothing I can do to shake her. I can be tired, I can be grumpy, I can be in a terrible mood, and she doesn't care.”
She goes on to laugh about it, “It's ‘Mommy, Mommy,’ and she'll cling to me. We knew that she would still do that thing, she'd still smile at me and insist that I pick her up. So we couldn't really cast anybody else.”
But in the end, it turned out to be a much bigger hassle than they originally thought so both Jolie and Brad Pitt decided it was the last time they would cast one of their children in their movies, “After two days of it, Brad and I were so stressed we never wanted to do it again.” It looks like the family's acting is going to stop with the parents if they have any say about it.
You can see the end result of that casting process and the subsequent scenes in the movie “Maleficent” that is set to premiere today, May 8, in London, Great Britain, with a worldwide release towards the end of the month.
