Angelina Jolie has made several co-stars and fellow actors nervous in the past with her charming and lethal personality. Being the epitome of a femme fatale, the actress has almost always portrayed action roles with just the right amount of seductiveness.
Working alongside Liev Schreiber in the 2010 film called Salt, the actor revealed that there was a lot of anxiety and sexual tension in the beginning. This later on turned out to be a very memorable friendship as both Jolie and Schreiber were parents of two kids and it threw all the anxiety away.
When Angelina Jolie Made Her Co-star Nervous
This isn’t the first time Jolie has had something like this happen to her. Several actors have often found themselves at a loss for words upon meeting Jolie for the first time since they do not know her charming and humble personality which makes her a great friend.
Back in 2010, Angelina Jolie starred alongside Liev Schreiber in the action/mystery movie titled Salt. In the movie, Jolie’s character is on the run when she is falsely accused of planning the assassination of the Russian president and Schreiber helps her along the way. In an interview, the X-Men Origins: Wolverine actor talked about what it felt like working with Jolie and how nervous and anxious he was.
“I hadn’t known her very well, at all. I was very nervous in the beginning. I get very nervous around famous people and I get nervous around beautiful women. This was a big double whammy for me and initially really uncomfortable, which was worrying me.”
He further continued,
“I felt like the important part of the job for me was to develop familiarity with her because that was the humanizing factor,”
Stating that there was a kind of sexual tension between him and the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider actress, Schreiber quickly found comfort with her when they talked about their respective children.

Liev Schreiber further talked about how they eventually diffused the situation with an unlikely solution. Stating how all the sexual tension and the anxiety went out of the room, Schreiber revealed that the two became comfortable with each other after talking about being parents to two kids.
“But then we bonded over kids very quickly. I have 2 small kids and she has 2 small kids and it quickly became, ‘Oh you’re doing time-outs now? That’s just teething,’ And all the sexual tension went out of the room. All the anxiety about her being very famous and a super-human celebrity kind of went away and I found this very nice easy person that I could relate to,”
Salt received a rating of 6.4/10 on IMDB and 61% on Rotten Tomatoes upon its release. The Angelina Jolie starrer movie is currently available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.
