The mother of six and wife of Brad Pitt has no regrets about the operation.
"I actually love being in menopause," she told Australia's The Daily Telegraph.
"I haven’t had a terrible reaction to it, so I’m very fortunate. I feel
older, and I feel settled being older," the actress explained.
"I feel happy that I’ve grown up" and "I don’t want to be young again," she added.
Jolie Pitt turned 40 in June, just months after undergoing the
preventative surgery, which was motivated by a family history of ovarian
cancer. Both her mother and her maternal grandmother died from the
disease.
In 2013, the actress underwent a double mastectomy because of an
abnormal BRAC1 test result, a genetic mutation that elevates the risk
for developing breast cancer.
"I went through what I imagine thousands of other women have felt. I
told myself to stay calm, to be strong, and that I had no reason to
think I wouldn’t live to see my children grow up and to meet my
grandchildren," she wrote in a New York Times op-ed in March after
undergoing her second surgery.
