 A bare-faced Angelina Jolie pays tribute to Louis Zamperini in the new behind-the-scenes video of "Unbroken," released by Universal Pictures, Australia. The 39-year-old has often praised the late Olympian in her previous interviews. The latest video clip shows the director sharing some private moments with Zamperini. The video shows a non-glamorous Angelina in her trademark black T-shirt. She is almost unrecognisable, without any make-up.
"Unbroken" tells the story of Zamperini's hard and inspiring life. In 1936, he participated in the Olympics and joined the United States Army Air Corps in 1941. Zamperini survived a plane crash and was stranded at sea for 47 days. He was rescued by a Japanese navy ship, but only to be taken as a Prisoner Of War during the second World War. The film shows how Zamperini survived against all odds and does not give up. The veteran war hero died in July 2014 at the age of 97.

Before his death, Angelina spent a good amount of time with Zamperini. "Louis' story brings people together, to push themselves to be their best. You feel like that's what you gotta do for Louis," the actress says in the video as quoted byDaily Mail The two-minute video released by Universal also captures Angelina looking at Zamperini's picture album and praising him for his "handsome looks" when he was young.

Zamperini is also seen talking in the short video about his life and how he coped under difficult circumstances. "You have to believe in sheer determination, the determination to come out alive. You have to believe that no matter what happens to you, that all things work together for good," the 97-year-old is seen saying in the video, according to Daily Mail

"Unbroken" is an adaptation of author Laura Hillenbrand's best-selling book about Louis Zamperini, "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption." The fans of the film  were expecting that Angelina would win nominations in the Best Director category at various awards. However, the actress failed to score a nomination at the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards and even at the Oscars.
