Actress-director Angelina Jolie, who has recovered from chickenpox, says the contagious disease was strange and preposterous.

The 39-year-old star had to cancel her appearance at the premiere of her latest directorial venture 'Unbroken' last month due to her illenss and was represented at the event by her husband Brad Pitt and children, reported E! Online.

"It was so absurd. What was even stranger was, I think, during the day before. I was trying to do interviews and I was like, 'What's happening to me? Strange'.

"Of course it was really fun that my kids took the mantle. They took it very seriously when I said, 'You've got to represent mom. You've got to do this for me.' My kids knew and loved Louis, so I was like, 'You've got to do this for Louis, you know? You've got to get out there.' So, they were excited about the mission," she said.
