Sydney,
(ANI):
Angelina
Jolie"s
role
of
a
CIA
officer
in
her
upcoming
movie
Salt
would
see
her
shed
the
sexy
image,
she"s
known
for.
Jolie
said
that
the
role
of
Evelyn
Salt
in
the
turn
as
CIA
officer
Evelyn
Salt
in
the
upcoming
movie
Salt
is
one
of
the
most
unglamorous
roles
she
has
ever
done.
“Females
in
those
films
rely
on
being
female
but
we
wanted
to
ignore
that
–
she"s
just
Salt," the
Sydney
Morning
Herald
quoted
Jolie
as
saying.
“She
doesn"t
use
her
sexuality
to
get
anything.
In
fact,
in
many
ways
it"s
the
roughest
I"ve
looked
because
when
you
fight
it
gets
ugly
and
if
someone
breaks
your
nose
it"s
not
pretty,"
she
added.
The
role
of
Evelyn
Salt
was
originally
meant
to
be
played
by
a
man,
reportedly
Tom
Cruise.
“We
discussed
the
film
with
Tom," director
Phillip
Noyce
told
the
Total
Film
magazine.
“His
main
fears
were
that
the
character
was
too
close
to
Ethan
Hunt,
being
a
rogue
spy,
with
extraordinary
abilities,"
he
added.
“It
was
much
harder
than
we
thought
to
switch
it
from
a
male
to
a
female
because
the
challenges
and
surprises
or
how
a
man
would
react
to
a
certain
situation
are
not
necessarily
the
same
when
it"s
a
woman," said
Jolie.
“For
example,
the
original
character
was
married
and
he
had
a
child
and
part
of
the
discovery
at
the
end
was
that
he
would
find
love.
But
for
a
woman
the
discovery
of
love
is
not
a
deep
surprise,"
she
added.
