Angelina Jolie hilariously gave a very frosty response when asked about her friendship with The Weeknd.
The actress, 46, was promoting her new film the Eternals with co-star Salma Hayek on E!’s Daily Pop when she averted a question about her relationship with The I Feel It Coming singer, whom she has been spotted hanging out with on several occasions.
Interestingly, rather than using the moment as an opportunity to set the record straight on her friendship with the superstar, the actress avoided discussing their relationship whatsoever.
Awkward! Angelina Jolie hilariously gave a very frosty response when asked about her friendship with The Weeknd
Asked by host Justin Sylvester whether her children were more excited by her role in Eternals or by her friendship with The Weeknd, Angelina replied: ‘They’re very excited about this film… If that’s what you’re asking,’ she said, glancing at her co-star Salma.
‘They’re very excited about this film,’ she repeated in a more muted tone.
Angelina has been spotted dining out with The Weeknd several times this year, and though they have reportedly been telling people they are ‘just friends’, their pals believe there is more between them.
Talking about the connection last month, a source told Us Weekly: ‘Both Angie and Abel are telling people that they are just friends, but those who know them think something romantic is going on.’

‘She’s definitely warming toward Abel. He’s been pouring on the charm and going out of his way to impress her.’
The Weeknd isn’t the only man Angelina has been linked to since splitting from her ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2016, with the actress also being spotted with her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller in recent months.
Friends of the actress say Jolie is excited about seeing new people for the first time since her 2016 split from Pitt, with one insider telling Us Weekly: ‘Angelina is having so much fun right now, and she’s making up for lost time.’

‘There’s no pressure or expectation at this point, just a lot of fun, and Angelina’s really enjoying it,’ they went on.
‘Her friends haven’t seen her this up and energized in forever.’
Angelina took her time getting back into the dating world, with the insider explaining: ‘She wasn’t interested in dating anyone for years after the divorce because she was so busy being a mom and staying on top of her career.’
Though Jolie and Pitt broke up in 2016, they weren’t legally declared single until 2019 and are still working on details of their divorce.

She and Pitt share custody of Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 13. Son Maddox, 20, is a legal adult.
Still, the star is taking things slow and keeping things casual for the time being, with the source dishing: ‘She never put a time stamp or formal expectation on when that would change. It had to be organic, and that’s exactly what ended up happening.’
Jolie was seen out with ex husband Jonny Lee Miller in Beverly Hills earlier this month.
The Oscar-winner and Miller, 48, were married from 1996 to 1999 after first meeting onset of their nineties thriller Hackers in 1995.
The pair were recently linked in June this year, when Jolie was spotted arriving at Miller’s apartment in NYC, while holding an expensive bottle of wine. She was seen leaving a few hours later.
It was claimed at that time, that Miller had met and bonded with her sons Pax and Knox.
