Elisabeth Moss reveals intimidated feelings when working with Angelina Jolie on set.

During the interview, Moss explained that the film set had a clear division between two groups: those aligned with Winona Ryder and those associated with Angelina Jolie. 

Moss found herself among the followers of Winona Ryder, while Jolie was part of the popular clique. Because she acknowledged that she didn't possess the coolness required to be included in Jolie's circle.

When asked if she ever wanted to be part of Jolie's camp, Moss revealed that she never brought it up to Jolie and believed that Jolie wouldn't even remember the situation. 

Moss expressed her admiration for Jolie, mentioning that she has since spoken to her and found her to be lovely.

However, at the time, she was really overwhelmed by Jolie's powerful presence.

Looking back at her part in the movie, Moss also shared a funny story about the special effects makeup she wore as a burn victim in the film. 

Moss admitted that she would sometimes forget she had the prosthetics on and would casually hang out with Winona Ryder during their breaks. 

The people on set would mistakenly think that Moss's transformed appearance was her actual face, highlighting the impressive skills of makeup artists.

The film, directed by James Mangold, was a critical success and earned Jolie an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Previously, amid the legal dispute, Angelina Jolie has called Brad Pitt a "spoiled child." 

The disagreement centers around their ownership of a winery in France. Jolie's former investment firm, Nouvel, claims that Pitt has been trying to control and exploit the business they built together.

Nouvel's lawyers argue that Pitt should have the same rights as them since he owns half of the winery. 

Jolie's legal team criticizes Pitt, saying he is an actor, not a winemaker. 

They suggest that he was not actively involved in running the business. They also accuse Pitt of using profits on unnecessary projects, like renovating a recording studio. 

This ongoing legal battle highlights the complications arising from the couple's separation in 2016.
