Actress-director Angelina Jolie has been forced to clear her schedule and will miss the premiere of "Unbroken" here next week because she has chickenpox.
The "Unbroken" director can't believe" she has contracted the viral infection, in which a person develops extremely itchy blisters all over the body, and will have to skip the film's premiere, reports contactmusic.com.
In a video message Friday, the 39-year-old star said: ''I just wanted to be clear and honest about why I would be missing the 'Unbroken' events in the next few days, which is that I found out last night that I have Chickenpox. So, I will be home itching and missing everyone and I can't believe it because this film means so much to me. I just can't believe it, but such is life. There it is. Send everyone my love and I hope everything goes well!''
Angelina has six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with husband Brad Pitt.
