“She is friends with him”: Is Angelina Jolie Dating 40-Year-Old Rapper Akala Amid Her Big Hollywood Comeback?
- Rumor has it that Angelina Jolie and Akala have been dating for over a year.
- “The buzz around their relationship intensified at the Venice Film Festival.
- An insider confirmed they are just friends with a shared humanitarian passion.
Angelina Jolie is back in the headlines. You might be thinking of her comeback, yes, that too, but this time it’s not just about her upcoming film or her humanitarian efforts. Rumors are swirling like a hurricane at the Venice International Film Festival due to some spicy gossip about her and British rapper Akala.
The two stars have been spotted together at the festival. But before you start picturing red carpet romances and paparazzi chases, hold on—things might not be as dramatic as they seem.
While the buzz about Jolie and Akala possibly being a couple has generated a lot of chatter, the reality might be more like a quiet coffee date (it could be). So, don’t be surprised if this headline turns out to be more fluff than fireworks!
Angelina Jolie and Akala are Nothing More Than Friends
The buzz began when In Touch magazine claimed that Angelina Jolie and Akala had been secretly dating for over a year. The plot thickened when they were spotted together at the Venice Film Festival, making tongues wag.
However, as the old saying goes, ‘don’t believe everything you read,’ especially when it comes to celebrity gossip. An insider has confirmed to People that Jolie and Akala are not a couple but are simply friends. The source said:
She and Akala are not dating. She is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle, who was also there.
The tipster also mentioned that Jolie and Akala’s friendship is centered around their shared passion for social and humanitarian causes. The actress has spoken highly of the British rapper in the past, praising his dedication to global issues.
So, despite the festival frenzy and photo opportunities, it appears there’s no romantic link between these two. They’re just good friends who care about the same big issues—nothing more, nothing less.
Angelina Jolie Calls Maria‘s Role Preparation Her Toughest Yet
While Angelina Jolie may not be dating Akala, she’s definitely dating a major role in her latest project. The 49-year-old has been busy preparing for her portrayal of Maria Callas, the legendary opera singer, in the film Maria, which recently got the Netflix seal of approval.
Jolie has described her preparation for the role as one of the hardest things she’s ever done, spending nearly seven months getting into the character. Angie told the Associated Press via NBC:
I felt such a privilege to feel like I got to know this woman and got to be inside her skin a moment. I really care for her deeply. I think I’ll carry that like a friend.
Jolie’s dive into this role has been nothing short of amazing. The Hollywood beauty has shown she’s ready to tackle this challenge head-on. Given her knack for nailing tricky characters, we’re all eager to see how she’ll pull this one off.
If she succeeds, it’ll be just another feather in her already feathered cap! The film and its portrayal are shaping up to be as dramatic as the rumors about her personal life—if not more!
Maria is set to be released soon on the streaming giant Netflix.
