In a delightful and unexpected twist at the 2013 Disney D23 Expo, Angelina Jolie, radiant and glowing, shared a charming and slightly amusing tale about her experience on the set of ‘Maleficent.’ The 38-year-old actress, who portrayed the iconic Disney character, recounted how her costume, while meant to enchant, had an unintended effect on the young visitors to the set. Despite being a Disney character, Jolie humorously revealed that her Maleficent costume had a frightful impact on the children, with some even requesting the “mean witch” to stop talking to them.
During the Maleficent presentation at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Jolie couldn’t help but share the comical encounters she had with young visitors, recounting how she approached children on set only to be met with screams and fleeing youngsters.
The actress’s recounting of one little boy asking his mother to make the “mean witch” stop talking added a touch of whimsy to the event.
However, Jolie fondly noted that her own daughter, Vivienne, who had a small role in the film as Young Aurora, was the exception. The 4-year-old Vivi remained unfazed, becoming the only child on set who wouldn’t scream in the presence of the enchanting Maleficent.
This endearing anecdote not only added a touch of lightheartedness to the Disney D23 Expo but also showcased Angelina Jolie’s ability to find humor in unexpected moments, turning what could have been a spooky encounter for children into a charming memory from the making of ‘Maleficent.’
