Angelina Jolie has spoken about her numerous injuries and surgeries, including a back handspring gone wrong that left her with neck injuries 18 years ago, which led to multiple subsequent surgeries on her arms, elbows, shoulder, thumb, carpal tunnel, and fractures. She expressed frustration at not being able to learn how to perform certain stunts due to these injuries, but welcomed the Oscars' new Achievement in Stunt Design category, recognizing the importance of stunt performers in character building for films like Aeon Flux.
