Angelina Jolie continues to dazzle fans and colleagues alike, even in the face of adversity. The 49-year-old actress, currently filming her latest project, Stitches, in Paris, remains undeterred despite a recent injury—a broken toe sustained just days earlier.
On the set of Stitches, set against the glamorous yet cutthroat backdrop of couture fashion during Paris Fashion Week, Jolie exudes her signature grace and professionalism. Playing the role of Maxine, an ambitious American filmmaker embarking on a life-or-death journey, Jolie was seen fully immersed in her character while filming late-night scenes outside a Parisian bistro.
Bundled in a chic black coat and high-heeled boots, Jolie strode confidently down cobblestone streets illuminated by production lights, showing no outward signs of discomfort from her injury. Crew members bustled around her, fine-tuning the intricate details of the shoot, but all eyes were on Jolie as she delivered a magnetic performance that demonstrated her unwavering dedication to her craft.
The film, also starring Louis Garrel and Garance Marillier, delves deep into the high-stakes world of couture fashion. Jolie’s character, Maxine, finds herself navigating intense personal and professional challenges during Paris Fashion Week—a setting that perfectly complements Jolie’s real-life role as the founder of the fashion brand Atelier Jolie.
Just a day prior, Jolie made headlines with her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, her first late-night interview in over a decade. True to her unique style, Jolie arrived barefoot, embracing comfort after struggling to find a suitable shoe for her injured foot.
As she walked onto the stage to a reimagined version of Dolly Parton’s Jolene, Fallon humorously asked, “Did you forget your shoes?” Jolie, with a relaxed shrug and radiant smile, responded, “I broke my toe yesterday and couldn’t find a comfortable shoe, so I decided not to wear any.” Fallon playfully quipped, “No shoes? No problem! We’re just thrilled to have you here.”
Through her undeniable resilience and charm, Jolie continues to inspire fans while proving that even a broken toe can’t dim her star power.
