AceShowbiz - Angelina Jolie was quizzed about an astonishing piece of trivia about her family lineage while out and about with her daughter. Jolie is apparently a distant relative to none other than Queen B herself, Beyonce Knowles.
Asked if she knew she was Beyonce's 9th cousin thrice removed, Jolie responded, "I don't know," paired with a head shake. As the shutterbug asked the actress if she would be willing to invite Beyonce to dinner to meet the family, Jolie nodded her head.
This seemingly mundane encounter has opened up a fascinating insight into the lineage of one of Hollywood's most iconic actresses.
Investigations into Jolie's family tree reveal impressive ancestry. Marie Bertrand, Jolie's mother, hails from French nobility and her lineage can be traced back to the French monarch Phillip II, the son of Louis VII from the twelfth century.
This connection extends to Phillip's half-sister, Marie of France, who was a formidable French princess of her time. Jolie is also Queen Elizabeth II's 26th cousin, cementing her connections to various prestigious bloodlines.
The crossover between Jolie's lineage and Beyonce's lineage places them as distant relatives. The complex family tree, while intricate, is indeed a matter of fact. This revelation, although not of great interest to Jolie herself during the impromptu street interview, has sparked intrigue among fans who love exploring celebrity genealogies.
Despite this fun genealogical twist, Jolie's current life is marked by the ongoing turbulence surrounding her divorce from Brad Pitt. In 2016, Jolie filed for divorce and requested exclusive physical custody of their children, citing allegations of physical and mental abuse by Pitt.
The struggle has continued with their children distancing themselves from Pitt, going as far as dropping his last name and expressing their desire to testify against him in court – although the judge wouldn't allow them.
In the midst of navigating her complex family dynamics and her own impressive ancestral history, Angelina Jolie remains one of Hollywood's enduring stars. Whether it's her royal lineage or her high-profile family challenges, Jolie's life continues to captivate the world.
