Actress Angelina Jolie says she was diagnosed last year with Bell’s palsy.

Jolie revealed the health problem in an interview in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. Bell’s palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis caused by damage or trauma to the facial nerves. Jolie said the condition caused one side of her face to droop, CBS News reported.
