American actress Angelina Jolie has spoken out about her decision to retire from singing.
Her story goes like this: her ex-boyfriend was so critical of her voice that she quit singing.
She had always thought she couldn’t sing because her ex had been so critical of her.
Jolie recently told Hollywood Reporter that the criticism had a psychological impact on her, and that she had come to accept her ex-boyfriend’s viewpoint as fact.
I am not a singer. There was a person in my life who took offense to my singing. I was involved in a romance. Because of this, I always thought I was terrible at singing.
The fact that it affected me at all was strange, given that I had attended drama school. After hearing this person’s perspective, she just adjusted her behavior accordingly.
