THE RESULTS
0-6 Gone In Sixty Seconds! You may not want to have Salt rubbed into your wounds, but you definitely have no knowledge when it comes to Hollywood’s biggest leading lady. One might question where you have been for Angelina’s 20-year career. Maybe you have been concentrating more on Brad’s pecs than brushing up on his wife’s achievements!
7-13 The Tourist! You are Unbroken but nowhere near knowledgable enough to call yourself a true Brangelina buff. Maybe you were caught out by some of the more obscure questions, but your knowledge is patchy to say the least. Be sure to mark Angelina’s milestone birthday with a marathon movie night, read up on some background information and then try again!
14-19 Hackers! You can almost call yourself a super fan, and you may be on the Wanted list, but you just missed out on being an Angelina expert by a narrow margin. Attention to detail will ensure that you achieve a higher score next time around, so re-watch some classic Angelina movies.
20-25 You are simply Maleficent when it comes to all things Angelina Jolie. You have obviously been following the superstar since the beginning of her career and have a great wide range of knowledge of her highs and lows. Have your birthday cake and eat it, and make sure to toast Ange’s big 4-0 with a glass of fizz and your favourite Jolie flick. Cheers!
