I love her shy nervousness. It makes her so relatable. We all say the wrong thing, enjoy things no one else likes, and end awkwardly. What a sweet interview ❤️

[@pearpo]

Solid Acting 😂

[@AVOY66]

Naw she's weird

[@vegasilkit]

@@AVOY66 Yes! So 'strange'🤩

[@FenrirFitnessAK]

She is an actress, it's an act for fans.

[@taylorjanes846]

She's only 22 here and already so accomplished and smart and unique and beyond beautiful

[@vampy8112]

She looks and acts alot younger, I thought she was 16, thats why I was confused to hear her say she stripped 😂

[@elgoogssie3969]

I always wonder why people are seeing her like that. She's iritating and not sexy at all from my perspective. I really don't like her and do not consider her as a good actress.

[@misteral1083]

Conan, man....just such a good host. Other hosts would have been sleazy in the presence of Angelina, but Conan just supports her and aims to make her feel comfortable. Class act.

[@christinamasberg]

right? he is SO respectful and everything he says and does is so appropriate.

[@ohcaptainmycaptain4829]

How was talking about her stripping and tattoos in hidden places not sleazy though? She sounds like she's really uncomfortable with this interview.

[@christinamasberg]

@@ohcaptainmycaptain4829 SHE mentioned those things, not Conan. He made fun of the Rolling Stones and said that he was afraid to get Tattoos because of the pain. She is nervous and shy about being on the show.

[@susheelindulkar]

Agreed. He is so well-behaved and yet so so funny.

[@mariev6942]

​@ohcaptainmycaptain4829 He changed the subject about the tattoos when she got to that point.

@abdulrahman, what exactly do you think is awkward on her?

[@stoned_kitty]

Why do I feel like this is the first time I hear her voice😮

[@charmedprince]

She has affected accents in many of her movies . I was also weirded out watching clips of Lara Croft and her speaking English 😅

[@olgapetrov881]

She is so natural and shy , her voice is really really cool-sexi. I like how she tries to avoid the uncomfortable questions

[@ester_22]

Her voice has changed a lot...and her nose :)

[@artisticalex1206]

The tattoo pain part I can relate to that. I have bad depression and when I get tattooed it is almost like a relieving pain for me too.

[@klavicus2276]

So kind of a masochist I am kind of a masochist too but in other ways than tattoos. Also much better being a masochist than a sadist

[@Sarasapien]

I like how she said: “Do you think that’s a good idea - then he left..” 😂

[@ramonlijauco7563]

She has great knife manipulation skill. I watched her hand and fingers. Her dexterity level is high.

[@kenbennett4556]

A side note here, I was watching this video and happened to catch the thumbnail of another video show casing Angelina's daughter. They literally could be twins if you consider how Angelina looks in this clip and whenever the picture of her daughter was taken.

[@adoptedbyangelinajolie]

Omg finally we got good quality of this interview. Was about damn time. Thanks for the upload!

[@jumpsuitCD]

Seeing Angelina so nervous and awkward is f'n weird. She reminds me of the Kreylborn girl in Malcolm in the Middle

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

Tbh she's always awkward and weird and nervous, it's just more of an inward thing now but it's still adorable and I love her so much 😌😌😌

[@jumpsuitCD]

@@CaptainAMAZINGGG yeah after I made that comment I searched up her other interviews and she's awkward AF in all of them. So interesting that she's an amazing actors but still gets super nervous

[@rileygranderson6125]

She is literally the coolest girl to ever exist. Love her❤️‍🔥

[@korieshannon9645]

She is so shy and sweet. I just love it. It’s totally how I would be in that situation. I hate that people say awkward that she’s awkward. It’s not that she’s shy.

[@rainorshine7816]

Its innocence before all the heartache and pain of life breaks you, She pulled herself up by the bootstraps and became a confident and compassionate woman ❤

[@andromacha83]

Shiloh is basically her photocopy!!!!

No wonder I am a fan. She is smart, beautiful and, probably, carries a knife. What's not to love?

[@txgunguy2766]

She has the real life versions of her 'Tomb Raider' pistols, which she says she WILL use on anybody who threatens her kids.

For legal purposes, it is classified as a "weapon."

OMG, she was so much younger then. What a beautiful woman.

[@arncj18]

she inspired the fill lip movement to no fault of her own

[@globalcitizenn]

Amazing that black women have always had lips like that but it took a white woman to inspire lip fillers. It’s just really interesting how things natural to POC only become desirable when seen on a white person. Same thing with Kim Kardashian’s butt or East Indian jewellery on Coachella goers.

Long story short ! I watched an Airman from the old Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois, demonstrate his skills with a Butterfly Knife aka Balisong, in the Army Surplus store in Champaign, Illinois, with the encouragement of his buddy, another Airman ! As he began to flip and spin the very sharp knife, he failed to notice that the blade was turned the wrong direction ! And each time the blade struck his fingers, it sliced them ! After several times he had pretty much turned the backs of his fingers into hamburger, with blood dripping into a puddle on the top of the glass display case ! The clerk gave him a roll of paper towels, but as much as he tried to stop the bleeding, the towels quickly became soaked ! I'm guessing at best, he ended up at sick bay, or the local hospital ? My self and my buddy, both former Marines just looked at one another in disbelief, shook our heads and left ! Those things are nothing to play with ! R.I.P. T.O. ♥️🥀♥️ SEMPER FI
