Angelina Jolie: "I Had a Complete Meltdown" While Making Directorial Debut

In a live online Q&A, the actress opens up about the fears and doubts she had during production of In the Land of Blood and Honey

While making In the Land of Blood and Honey, Angelina Jolie found herself in the land of tears.

As she fielded questions from fans last night during a live online chat about her directorial debut, the Oscar winner admitted that the project definitely took its toll during production.

"I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad [Pitt] found me crying," revealed Jolie. "I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small. I thought, 'Who am I to take this on?'...I had a complete meltdown."

The actress says such trepidation stemmed from the fact that she "didn't plan to become a director" when she wrote the movie's screenplay.

"I still have trouble saying I'm a director," she admitted. "I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up, by default, being the director."

Well, as far as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is concerned, Jolie wound up doing a pretty good job behind the camera. In the Land of Blood and Honey has been nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Foreign Language Film category. We'll find out Sunday if it takes home the gold.
