During her birthday trip to NYC, Angelina Jolie has been revisiting the past by spending some quality time at her first husband Jonny Lee Miller‘s apartment. But the actress made it clear she’s also looking toward the future with a new tattoo.
It appears the actress recently added some fresh ink to her extensive collection of body art after she was spotted walking around the city last week with a quote from Galileo Galilei written in delicate script up her forearm just above her tattoo of a Rumi quote in Persian. The quote reads “Eppur si muove,” which is Italian for “And yet it moves.” The famous astronomer is said to have delivered the line at his trail after being forced by the church to recant his claim that the Earth rotates around the sun. In that context, the quote was an act of defiance and an assertion that one day the truth would prevail. That meaning could be particularly poignant given that Jolie is currently in the midst of a contentious custody case with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, during which she has repeatedly claimed she’s not been given a fair trial.
On Tuesday, the Oscar winner also paid a visit to her ex-husband’s apartment building for the second time this week, bringing along her 17-year-old son, Pax. Jolie was once again seen leaving Miller’s Dumbo, Brooklyn apartment building after previously paying a solo visit on Friday with an expensive bottle of Peter Michael wine in hand. Jolie and Miller first met in 1995 when they starred opposite one another in the film Hackers. They got married six months later and Jolie, who was just 20 years old at the time, revealed that for the special occasion she wore black rubber pants and Miller’s t-shirt with his name written on it in her own blood. “It’s your husband. You’re about to marry him. You can sacrifice a little to make it really special,” she told the New York Times following the ceremony. The two actors separated in September 1997 citing their busy careers, and their divorce was made official in February 1999. They’ve remained friends ever since, and Jolie has previously expressed regret over their breakup, saying in a 2004 interview with B magazine that divorcing Miller “was probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever done,” according to the Mirror.
