Angelina Jolie shrugs off hype about that famous right leg
ANGELINA Jolie has responded to the international phenomenon that was launched after that infamous Oscars pose.
ANGELINA Jolie launched an international phenomenon, and a very popular Twitter feed, when she struck an awkward pose at the 84th annual Academy Awards showing off her right leg in a high slit gown.
"What's funny is when you have no actual, conscious thought of anything," Jolie said, explaining to Entertainment Weekly that the pose just felt natural for her, given the voluminous nature of her black velvet gown.
"You just feel like, 'Eh, I like this dress. I feel comfortable in this one.' It's interesting that you just really never know."
Jolie appeared a bit uncomfortable at the fact that her appendage inspired one of the most popular memes of 2012.
"I don't pay any attention to that stuff," Jolie continued. "I do what I feel like doing, but don't actually consider the effect. I just try to, you know, be as I feel like being on a night like that."

Jolie did, however, concede that she thought the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar winner Jim Rash was funny when he mocked her pose on stage.
"Of course!" she said, when asked if she was amused.
