Angelina Jolie, despite living a life of fame and fortune, has always been known for her private nature. The star of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider once confessed that her ex-husband Brad Pitt was pretty much the only person she really opened up to. In fact, Angelina admitted she has only "a few girlfriends" in her life. Back in 2011, she told Marie Claire, "I stay home a lot. I’m just not very social. I don’t do much with friends, and I’m very homebound." Now, as a single mom raising six kids, her social calendar has become even more limited. However, there’s one person Angelina has reportedly reconnected with recently: Colin Farrell.
From Past Rumors to Present-Day Friends
Let’s rewind to the early 2000s when Angelina and Colin worked together on the movie Alexander. Back then, rumors were swirling that there was more than just a professional relationship between the two. Fast forward to today, and it seems that old flames haven’t exactly turned into ashes. According to Grazia, Angelina made a rare public appearance at the premiere of Colin’s new film Dumbo on March 11. She attended the L.A. event with her children Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 12, and her 10-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox, flashing a huge smile all evening.
Why Did Angelina Show Up?
Here’s the interesting part: Colin, now 42, reportedly reached out to Angelina after they reconnected nearly 14 years after filming Alexander in Morocco. It’s said that Colin extended the invite to the Oscar-winning actress, and she accepted, marking a significant moment in their renewed friendship. This kind of gesture shows that even in the world of Hollywood, old connections can still hold value and meaning.

Colin Farrell: A Changed Man
It’s worth noting that Colin Farrell has undergone a transformation over the years. A source close to both Angelina and Colin revealed to Grazia, “Colin and Angelina have been friends for a long time and have both come such a long way since the days when it was common knowledge in the industry that they were hooking up.” Colin is now focused on clean living and charity work, having been sober for 12 years. He’s also a dedicated dad to his sons James, 15, and Henry, 9, from previous relationships.
Meanwhile, Angelina is described as being "almost a different person" compared to her earlier years, much calmer and grounded. It’s refreshing to see these two individuals, who were once surrounded by gossip and speculation, reconnect on a deeper and more mature level.
