Being in the film industry for so many years with so many titles on her resume, the Hollywood industry reveres the name of Angelina Jolie as one of the most popular and influential female movie stars. Becoming the face and voice of so many memorable characters has led her fans to follow some of those characteristics in real life to pay homage to her brilliant performances throughout her career.
But her influence doesn’t just spread to the general public, as she has also influenced many celebrities along the way as well, most notably the star ofThe Vampire Diaries,Nina Dobrev. Dobrev plays the role of Elena Gilbert in the series and has often been vocal about the inspiration that she derives from theWantedstar. She also once revealed that her character on the show was an inspiration from Jolie as well.
Angelina Jolie Was The Inspiration For Elena InThe Vampire Diaries!
While there might have been a lot of films in the past thatAngelina Jolieused to radiate her name across the industry through her stellar performances, she is also widely known as one of the few female action stars thanks to a long list of films that she has portrayed the character of a bada*s woman for. Thus, it’s no surprise to know that along the way, her action-filled persona inspired Nina Dobrev to mold her character of Elena Gilbert around her inThe Vampire Diaries.
In 2011, Dobrev was on the Television Critics Association panel with several other stars from The CW, where they talked about how empowering women in television and entertainment paved the way for more female stars to follow in their greatness. She also cited the importance of theMaleficentstar in shaping her character in the show, who had to raise her fists in the series every now and then. During the panel, she revealed that Jolie’s action persona was an inspiration for her, saying:
“I think watching Angelina Jolie movies is always kind of inspiring and awesome. Some of us get to do it depending on the episode but it is really cool. Like, I remember watching Tomb Raider, and there’s this woman who’s, like, beating up all of the guys. It does feel very empowering.”
Thanks to her roles in films like theTomb Raiderseries,Salt,andGone in 60 Secondsto name a few, Jolie’s image developed in the industry for showcasing a woman who is not to be trifled with.
What’s Next For Angelina Jolie?
With an illustrious career that she created with her own hands in these past years, the star has decided to take it slow with her choices of roles to play in the industry, which is more character-driven than driven by their story. Thus, after taking the role of Thena inEternals,the star has made selective choices to play the characters she is offered. Apart from her role in the MCU, Jolie has also been involved in projects likeUnreasonable BehaviourandThe Keptto name a few.
