bitchy | Angelina Jolie was mobbed by hundreds of fans in Paris last night

Angelina Jolie has fans around the world – she is truly a global icon, beloved everywhere. But I don’t think anyone loves her harder than the French. Whenever Angelina is in Paris especially, she’s mobbed by French fans. Last year, in Paris, when she simply exited a small event for Guerlain, she was swarmed by a crowd of hundreds of fans who had gathered for a glimpse of La Jolie. Well, Angelina is currently in Paris, working on a film called Stitches. Her kids are with her too – in recent days, she’s been seen with Zahara and Pax. Well, last night, Angelina merely exited her Paris hotel and she was absolutely mobbed. She even stopped to sign some autographs and take some photos.

There aren’t many celebrities left with this kind of glamour, let’s be honest. It’s also sort of perfect that Angelina was mobbed in Paris on the same day Netflix began streaming Maria, the bulk of which is set in Paris. The film is gorgeous, and it absolutely felt like a love letter to Paris in certain places. I watched Maria last night and Angelina is fantastic in it. I agreed with some of the critics who said that the “Angelina singing opera poorly” parts kind of fell flat because the general audience isn’t knowledgeable enough to understand what the song is supposed to sound like. But all of the non-singing parts were beautifully done and well-acted – she did this Katherine Hepburn-esque transatlantic accent and she only speaks in these bizarre pronouncements as she’s downing handfuls of pills. The clothes, the set design, the wig work… perfection. Also: Valeria Golino’s cameo was incredible.
