Angelina Jolie has chicken pox — and the itchy, miserable red spots will be keeping her away from the premiere of Unbroken.
Jolie directed and produced the film, which tells the story of real-life American Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was held as a Japanese prisoner of war during World War II.
"I can't believe it, cause this film means so much to me," Jolie says in a video posted to Universal Pictures' YouTube page. "I will be home, itching and missing everyone….I just can't believe it, but such is life, there it is."
