U.S. actor Angelina Jolie revealed her double mastectomy scars in a photo shoot for Time France, in the magazine’s first French edition that launched this week.

“I share these scars with many women I love. And I’m always moved when I see other women share theirs,” the Hollywood star, known for her humanitarian work,, told the magazine.

The photos, taken by Nathaniel Goldberg, featured on the front page.

The Oscar-winning actor announced in 2013 that she had undergone a double mastectomy, followed by a double oophorectomy in 2015, due to her genetic predisposition to cancer.

Jolie’s decision to make the news public encouraged other women to undergo cancer screenings.

“Access to screening and care should not depend on financial resources or place of residence,” she told Time France.

Jolie latest starring role is in the film “Coutures”, by French filmmaker Alice Winocour, which will hit French cinemas on February 18, 2026. The movie’s story echoes Jolie’s experience with cancer.

Time France’s debut edition also includes an interview with U.S. ambassador to France Charles Kushner, a report from Ukraine’s Donbas region and an investigation into the art trafficking underworld, according to its table of contents.

The U.S. magazine’s first-ever international edition has been acquired by entrepreneur Dominique Busso’s 360BusinessMedia group, which previously launched Forbes France.
