'Unbroken' Director Has A Chickenpox! Angelina Jolie Misses War Film's Promotional Event

Sadly, "Unbroken" director Angelina Jolie will not be seen in the next promotional events as she currently has a viral disease called chickenpox.

Universal Studios Entertainment posted "Salt" actress video informing the fans that she's "withdrawing from public events" which are scheduled these coming days.

In a video, Angelina said, "I just wanted to be clear and honest about why I will be missing the 'Unbroken' events in the next few days... I just found out last night that I have chickenpox."

She also said in the video, "I will be home, itching and missing everyone," Jolie said in the video. "I can't believe it, because this film means so much to me. But, such is life. I send everyone my love and hope everything goes well."

The official statement of Universal Studios accompanied by Jolie's video message reads, "Universal Pictures today confirmed that Angelina Jolie will be withdrawing from public events scheduled over the coming days due to a mild bout of chicken pox. She intends to resume her schedule and press engagements at the earliest opportunity."

"You have to laugh at the timing," the director commented. "I was sure nothing could stop me from supporting Unbroken. I am heartbroken to miss our premiere, most of all the chance to be there with Louie's family, Phil's daughter Karen, veterans and all the guests who are coming.

Universal Pictures said, "We all wish Angelina a speedy recovery and look forward to her returning to her work very soon. She is in very good spirits, considering after two years of hard work, she will not be there the night it finally premieres."

Monday night, her children and Brad will attend to represent her. Brad's family has flown in for the occasion, and are all looking forward to seeing the film."
