Angelina Jolie revealed in a new interview that she hasn't felt secure in years.

"There have been times in my life where I have felt — and maybe I've hidden them well from the public — where I have not felt free, I have not felt safe, I have not felt like free of harm," the Oscar winner, 44, told E! News. "I have felt small. I have felt cornered. And it has taken a lot to find that again, probably more of that today than I was in the last four years.

"These last few years haven't been the easiest, and I haven't felt very strong," she confessed. "There's something when you're not feeling very strong, where you push yourself."

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016 after two years of marriage and nearly 12 years together. They have six children.
