Angelina Jolie-Pitt has been candid about her road to early menopause, after having her ovaries removed earlier this year.
Now, the 40-year-old actress told Sunday Style magazine, “I actually love being in menopause. I feel older, and I feel settled being older. I feel happy that I’ve grown up.”
She has shared her journey to raise awareness of the preventative treatment options for those with the defective BRCA1 gene. She first had a double mastectomy at the age of 37 and subsequently had her ovaries removed earlier this year, eight years after her actress mother Marcheline Bertrand died, aged 56, having battled both breast and ovarian cancer.
Angelina also said that she’s been able to enjoy things as normal as possible post-op because she’s been fortunate enough not to have a bad reaction to the surgery.
