Angelina Jolie initially had the potential to join the cast of “Charlie’s Angels,” but she declined the offer during the early stages of her acting career. The film, which later turned into a hit alongside Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore, was presented as an opportunity for her to gain widespread recognition. However, the studio’s persuasive arguments didn’t sway Angelina.
In an interview with Premiere, I mentioned that Columbia Pictures attempted to convince me to join the cast of “Charlie’s Angels” by highlighting it as a rare chance to portray a strong female character. I countered by stating that I had previously played powerful women, and this was not an uncommon opportunity for me. Moreover, their promises of fame held no allure whatsoever for the actress in me.
When Columbia Pictures presented the script for Charlie’s Angels to me, they mentioned three key reasons I should take on the role. They emphasized that there were few well-written, powerful roles for women in the industry; they believed it would catapult my career to stardom; and they assured me it would be a delightful experience. However, the prospect of becoming a major STAR holds no allure whatsoever for me. All the roles I’ve played so far in Gia, Wallace, Playing By Heart, and The Bone Collector have been strong female characters.
Back when Charlie’s Angels hit the big screen, unlike Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz who were already established stars, I, Angelina Jolie, was just starting out in my career. At that time, I didn’t see how participating in a film like this would advance me or be beneficial for my career path.
Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz are established celebrities who will undoubtedly create a lot of laughter by mocking their own images through Charlie’s Angels. At this stage, I haven’t reached that level of fame yet, so viewers may not find it as entertaining to watch me dash about in high heels, pursuing villains, and flipping my hair.
Consequently, it was Angelina Jolie who was absent from the $264M film production. In her place, Lucy Liu took on the role alongside Barrymore and Diaz.
