Well, I’m not entirely sure that this story is authentic–something may have been jacked up in translation–but a German magazine claims that Angelina Jolie has admitted to a life-long love affair with the dye bottle:

Angelina Jolie is really a blonde, and has been dying her hair dark since she was four years old. The actress claims her late mother Marcheline Bertrand started the trend because she didn’t like the colour of Jolie’s locks. And the 34 year old has been reaching for the dye ever since. Jolie tells German magazine Das Neue, “My natural colour is dark blonde. But when I was four or five, my mother dyed my hair dark brown, and she decided to keep it that way. And I stuck with that.”

Now, if this is true, Jolie has a great fucking colourist because she’s always looked like a natural brunette. What does lend some credence to this story is this photo (c/o Celebitchy) of Angelina’s parents. That dark blonde hair would have been inherited from Jon Voight, who is long known to be a deadbeat father and who screwed around on Angelina’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand. It would follow that Marcheline might have preferred Angelina to have her own dark brown hair instead of looking like that one guy, right?
