Angelina Jolie has learned to speak French fluently for her film Stitches after taking up opera for Maria
Angelina Jolie has learned to speak French fluently.
The 49-year-old actress picked up the romantic language for her role as Maxine in the new film Stitches about Fashion Week.
The star is now filming the movie in Paris in both English and French. This means that she has to speak her lines in two languages in every scene.
Angelina has spoken French before in the 2004 film Taking Lives, but it was a short scene.
Jolie’s mother Marcheline Bertrand was of French Canadian descent and may have taught her daughter conversational French, although it is not clear how well she spoke it.
The film is scheduled for release in 2025.
This comes after the mother of six learned to sing opera playing Maria Callas in the biofilm Maria.

This fits in nicely with the fashion design companies that the actress supports under her banner Atelier Jolie.

Her 23-year-old son has been hired as the third assistant director on the film set in the world of haute couture, DailyMail.com has learned.
He has already been on set with his Oscar-winning mother helping her on night shoots in the rain.
Angelina’s son and her ex-husband Brad Pitt have worked on films before.
He was involved in his mother Maria’s projects, Without Blood, By The Sea and First They Killed My Father.
Maddox had enrolled at Yonsei University, but now seems to devote most of his time to films.

Maddox worked as an assistant director on this film, which is about the last days of opera singer Maria Callas in Paris in the 1970s.
Jolie is getting Oscar buzz for her role as she learned to sing opera for the role.
Maddox has said that he enjoys working with his mother and that she is “fun, funny and easy to work with.”
He also says he attended meetings, prepared for recordings and helped review newspapers.
Several of Angelina’s other children have worked with her.
Pax served as photographer on Maria. And Vivienne was instrumental in bringing The Outsiders to Broadway this year. She was also in Maleficent.
Zahara was also on the set of Stitches. In the past she has worked on projects for Angie’s store Atelier Jolie.
Maria was a lot of work for Jolie.

In Maria she played the iconic Greek opera singer during her last days in the 1970s.
The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was celebrated with an eight-minute standing ovation.
Jolie is called to be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.
In 2000, she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Girl, Interrupted. She was last nominated in 2009 for The Changeling.
Jolie has admitted that Maria winning an Oscar would be a bonus.
The actress had the “experience of a lifetime” starring in Pablo Larraín’s biographical psychological drama about diva Maria, and while the Oscar hype is “very nice,” she feels like she’s already been given “the greatest gift”: making a film with an ‘extraordinary team of people’ and everything else is a ‘dream’.

Asked about the Oscar buzz surrounding her film, she told Best UK magazine: ‘It means a lot that someone thinks you’ve done a good job. Right? That means everything to me.
‘Those kinds of things are exciting and a lot of fun. But I’m so glad we were able to make this film. I’m really so happy.
“I know it sounds like people say this, but it was actually the experience of a lifetime. I learned to sing and embodied a woman I respect. I have had the opportunity to work with this special team of people. I feel like I’ve already been given the greatest gift.
‘The audience seemed to respond well to it. So everything else is a dream, but I’m already so grateful.”
