Angelina Jolie Did Drug Test On Daily Basis For 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'

Angelina Jolie is not only a big name in Hollywood but also a legendary figure that makes it difficult for us to believe all the troubles she had faced throughout her career. In the past couple of years, the actress has been a concerned mother and a sensible one in her unstable marriage with ex-husband Brad Pitt while she was not always this stable.

The 45-year-old actress has been working in Hollywood for over two decades now and like any other young star, even she faced problems with bad habits and addiction. She had a reputation of partying really hard with drugs and alcohol that almost cost her work, which launched her career.

There is no secret that Jolie has always been under the radar of media being the daughter of a popular actor, Jon Voight. Even before the Maleficent star started her acting career, she was already in the spotlight since her birth.

Probably, this is one of the reasons she had various problems growing up and eventually had wild adolescence. Back in the 90s when Jolie was signing her acting contracts, the star was constantly in the headlines for her partying habits.

Jolie had a wild kid reputation and in 2014 a publican uncovered footage of her in which the actress confessed to trying every drug including cocaine, heroin, and LSD. Looking at her successful career and life now, it is clear that she won her addiction battle.

Every 90's kid will think of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider whenever you think of Jolie but less we knew that she almost didn't get the role because of her drug addiction. Sherry Lansing revealed all the details for the fans in her latest tell-all book.

Jolie's quirky habits in the past where she wore a vial of blood around her neck and consumption of drugs made producers reluctant to cast her. However, it was Voight and Jane Fonda who convinced the studio executives to give Jolie a chance.

The studio executives agreed on one condition that the actress will undergo daily tests of her urine and even blood test randomly to ensure that she was sober and clean throughout the filming. Simon West, the director of the film declared Jolie's dedication for the movie, finally won the battle.

West said that she knew her reputation at that time and agreed to do drug test on daily basis. Also she promised to be reliable, work hard, and turn up every day.
