Angelina Jolie’s latest directorial film, Without Blood, was recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. After receiving a thrilling response for her upcoming movie Maria at the Venice Film Festival, Jolie is now supporting her latest war drama, which stars Salma Hayek in a leading role as Nina.
According to People magazine, after the screening, held at the TIFF Lightbox theater, Jolie and cast members Hayek and Demián Bichir participated in a Q&A session led by TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey.
The publication noted that after their discussion ended, her son Pax joined the audience in applauding the cast with a standing ovation. He was seated in the audience near Francois-Henri Pinault, Hayek’s husband, and paid tribute to his mother and the people involved in the project.
Hayek also praised Jolie’s sons, Maddox and Pax, revealing that they worked extremely hard on the set, as she told the magazine recently that Jolie was “very professional with them” on set. The actress added that they are very “serious” about what they do, noting that although the Eternals actress is “demanding,” Maddox and Pax earned the crew’s respect and maintained a professional demeanor.
The House of Gucci star further mentioned, “It is kind of funny. I was teasing them at the beginning, but then I had to say, ‘No. I have to separate and just treat them like professionals because it’s disrespectful.'”
