2.

When a hobby is not yoga or design
● The hobbies of celebrities usually fit
within the usual framework.
● Collecting edged weapons (daggers,
knives, swords) is a passion that
immediately stands out.
Question: What does this say about a
person's personality?

3.

Not aggression, but support
● It arose in my youth, during a difficult
period of life.
● I was a loner, looking for inner
support.
● For Jolie, guns became a symbol of
security and self-sufficiency.
● Key Idea: This hobby is about
strength, not violence.

4.

Why blades?
● Self-reliance: Symbolizes the
ability to take care of oneself.
Finding personal power.
● Art and History: Admiration for
craftsmanship - forging, engraving,
design. Each item is an artifact with
history and cultural code.
Jolie quote: «I find them beautiful... they are objects of art».

5.

Hobby as a professional advantage
● Familiarity with weapons gave
confidence and authenticity in the
roles.
● The naturalness of the treatment
turned on-screen fights into something
more than just stunts.

6.

Conclusions: There is strength in unconventionality
1. Hobbies as a source of strength: Can
be a way to overcome difficulties and
gain confidence.
2. Breaking stereotypes: Strength, interest
in history and weaponry have no
gender.
3. Personal becomes professional: A
passion can provide unique skills and
an advantage at work.
This hobby is about art, history, discipline and self-sufficiency.
