Angelina Jolie Nearly Knocked Down by Over-Eager Fan at Film Fest
Angelina Jolie was attending TIFF to debut the new film she wrote and directed, Without Blood, when a fan came bolting at her, slamming into the star hard and momentarily knocking her off balance.
Jolie stopped to sign autographs and greet fans at the renowned festival Sunday when the incident occurred, and all seemed normal enough for the film star as fans clamored to get her autograph on their memorabilia. But while all the other fans stood on one side of Jolie and her security detail, one bold female fan darted past security from one side and grabbed Jolie into a hug, as captured on video.
Despite the aggressive close encounter, Jolie herself seemed unfazed as other fans gasped at the woman’s brazen move and Jolie’s security sprang into action. Jolie remained calm and collected as she accepted the hug and kindly listened to the young woman, who can be seen telling Jolie she’s “beautiful” before she’s taken away. The star thanked the fan and shouted for security to “be nice” as they pulled at her, after which Jolie continued signing autographs and taking photos with the other fans.
