Angelina Jolie gets candid about old unhealthy habit

Angelina Jolie, who admitted of unlimited smoking, recently got candid about her old unhealthy bad habit of consuming nicotine.

The 49-year-old actress, in a Q&A with film critic Leonard Maltin at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, recalled that she used to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, before signing as Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, almost 25 years ago.

"I admittedly came [in] smoking two packs a day and completely had to change my health and my life and discover that I could do things I didn't know I could do," the Salt actress said.

According to the ex-wife of Brad Pitt, the action-adventure film would go on to "change everything" for her.

Jolie, who recently appeared in biographical movie, Maria, went on to explain that she trained "really hard" for the 2001 movie, which forced her to break out of her vices.

She revealed that her new fit lifestyle led to her dropping her smoking routine, swapping it out for a healthier normal.

"I was in training and that's what your body [wants]… You change," the Oscar-winning star said.

For the unversed, Angelina Jolie won Best Actress for her role in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider at the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films awards.
