Actress Angelina Jolie has refuted a magazine’s cover story that described a controversial casting process for her movie First They Killed My Father.
According to the cover story by Vanity Fair magazine, Jolie and her casting associates placed money on a table and allowed the children auditioning for the Cambodian film to take it. It claims that after taking the money, the director then “caught” the children and forced them to explain why they needed the cash.
Jolie now says that the process described in the profile was misconstrued, reports variety.com. She says it was “a pretend exercise in an improvisation from an actual scene.”
