Angelina Jolie Used to Cut Herself in Order to Get Rid of Stress

Angelina Jolie became one of Hollywood's biggest names, but her path to the top was far from straightforward. The actress had faced many hardships and found an unusual save from depression.

Jolie was a troubled girl and used to harm herself via knives to overcome negative thoughts. Angelina mentioned that cutting herself made her feel alive. It worked as some kind of therapy. 

In the Barbara Walters interview, the star confirmed to have quit disruptive behavior after she adopted her first son, Maddox, in 2002.
