Angelina Jolie will be “home itching” rather than attending promotional events for her new film Unbroken because she has the chickenpox.
In a stripped-down video posted on Universal Pictures’ YouTube channel, see above, the director shares why she’s calling in sick.
“I just wanted to be clear and honest about why I will be missing the Unbroken events in the next few days,” she said. “I will be home itching and missing everyone and I cant believe it ’cause this film means so much to me. I just can’t believe it, but such is life, there it is.”
The video comes after the massive Sony hack exposed a private email in which Hollywood producer Scott Rudin dissed Jolie, calling her a “minimally talented spoiled brat” and the Hollywood Foreign Press skipped over Unbroken for a Golden Globe nomination Thursday.
Unbroken, which tells the story of former Olympian and World War II prisoner of war Louis Zamperini, is set to premiere Monday in Los Angeles. Jolie’s children and her husband Brad Pitt are slated to attend the premiere, according to Universal.
