Angelina Jolie reveals her other plans before and after fame.

The Oscar-winning actress, 49, made her first late-night talk show appearance in a decade with her appearance on Thursday The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

According to a preview, Jolie revealed to host Jimmy Fallon that she once thought about becoming a funeral director. People magazine reported.

It started when Fallon, 50, asked her to address rumors about other career choices she had in mind before she became famous.

“You’re an incredible actor, but I’ve seen some things online,” the host began. “I was wondering if I could ask you if these rumors apply to other careers you may have had. I would be interested to know if some of these are true,” he asked the Salt star.

“I’m interested too. “Okay,” Jolie replied with a smile.

“First of all, is it true that you trained to be a funeral director before you trained as an actor?” Fallon began.

“Yes,” Jolie replied, leaving Fallon surprised. Then she continued to laugh and jokingly added, “Doesn’t that make sense?”

However, the award-winning actress had an explanation for it as she revealed her motivation behind it.

The actress explains: “My grandfather died and I remember thinking: They shouldn’t be like that. This should be a celebration of life. And since I’m not afraid of death and I was comfortable with it, I thought, ‘That.’ “It would be a great career path for me.”

Fallon agreed with the mother of six, adding, “We need more people like that,” to which Jolie further joked, “This is my backup career now.”

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Jolie has spoken about her past ambitions. In a 2011 interview, the actress revealed for the first time her former ambition to become a funeral director.

“It sounds like a very strange, eccentric and dark thing. But I actually lost my grandfather and was very upset about his funeral,” Jolie said 60 minutes at the time.

“So we talked about how maybe there are ways to approach the whole idea of ​​how someone dies and how a family deals with that death and what death is in a different way. If this acting thing didn’t work out, this would happen. “Be my backup.”

Jolie is currently promoting her film professionally Maryin which she portrays the late opera singer Maria Callas.
