Angelina Jolie is a true humanitarian compared to other celebrities who try to use their charity work to promote themselves in the spotlight. In fact, Angelina Jolie has proven herself to be the anti-Amal Alamuddin after she called for U.N. leaders to address the Syrian conflict while meeting with refugee families in Jordan this week.
Angelina Jolie might be known as an Hollywood A-lister, but the actress has been doing more work off screen than on screen these days. And while there has been plenty of comparisons made between Angelina Jolie and Amal Alamuddin, it’s pretty evident that George Clooney’s wife is using her work as an International Human Rights lawyer to promote herself in the celebrity world rather than as a celebrity humanitarian like her husband.
In fact, Angelina Jolie made it clear that she’s no longer interested in red carpert events and Hollywood parties as she appeared make-up free and low key while meeting with Syrian refugees at the Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan.
According to People Magazine, Angelina Jolie said in a press conference, “It is almost impossible to fathom what the last five years have meant, in the lives of refugees in Jordan and elsewhere in the region. Not a single family in this camp of 60,000 people has not suffered loss and trauma.”
And while Angelina Jolie is on the ground meeting face-to-face with people in desperate need of a place to call home, Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney are hosting charity fundraisers with lavish parties and luxurious yachts in some of the worlds top destinations.
Just last month Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney were criticized for hosting a Darfur fundraiser near the actor’s home in Lake Como, Italy. The irony, of course, is that a number of Syrian refugees have flooded Lake Como in recent months trying to find a place to live.
It’s no wonder than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have distanced themselves from George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin as they don’t want to take any part in their attention-seeking, fame-hungry ways.
Despite Angelina Jolie’s A-list status and long history in the celebrity world, it’s Amal Alamuddin that’s looking like a Hollywood snob in comparision these days. Tell us CDL readers, do you think Angelina Jolie is a true humanitarian compared to Hollywood snobs Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney?
