Angelina Jolie reveals love for speaking Russian
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010Angelina Jolie has revealed her new passion – speaking Russian.
The actress had to learn the language for her upcoming movie Salt and said she found it ‘very sensual’.
She told US Weekly: “I love speaking Russian. It’s very, very hard. I find it a very interesting sound because it can be so hard and strong and also very sensual and very beautiful.
“It’s a very interesting-sounding language. It took me a long time. I just had to practice over and over and over and I was told that I was getting it wrong a bunch of times and I had to keep practising.”
Jolie – who recently revealed she would like to play Maleficient in the upcoming Tim Burton production of Sleeping Beauty – said she got help from Russian tutors while on the set of spy thriller Salt.
“They’d do it with me, spend time with me and then they’d put it on tape. So I would take it home and I would just keep trying to get it exactly right and then trying not to get so stuck on a line,” she said.
“It was interesting to see how seductive that language could become when we were doing it… that some sounds can really hinder that or some accents have a very specific feeling to them.”
