“No, I think they are particularly shy people, very reserved”Angelina exclusively told E! News. While they may not be in the limelight, they are no strangers to the world of cinema. Her two oldest children worked at “Mary” (2024) , assisting director Pablo Larrain.
“Mad and Pax were on it doing AD work”Angelina told The Hollywood Reporter in August.
About acting in a movie where her children worked, she says it was intense because it was the first time for them to hear her cry at such a level. Usually, she says, she tried to hide how much pain she was in from the children.
“That was probably one of the most intense things — usually when I express this much pain, I don’t do it in front of my kids. You really try to hide from your children how much pain and sadness you carry. I think it was the first time they heard me cry at that level, for them to be there for you when you’re expressing your pain at that level.”she declared.
When he was in Cambodia filming “Tomb Raider” in 2001, he visited an orphanage in the provincial city of Battambang, where he adopted Maddox. Born on August 5, 2001, he was sitting in a cardboard box suspended from the ceiling.
In 2017, Maddox signed on as an executive producer on the film his mother directed “First They Killed My Father”. The film is an adaptation of the book by the actress friend, Loung Ung, about the Cambodian genocide of the Khmer Rouge regime between 1975-1979.
He studied biochemistry at Yonsei University in South Korea, a choice his mother said was “couldn’t be happier”.
Born on November 29, 2023, Pax was adopted from an orphanage near Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This was the voice of the character Yoo in the movie “Kung Fu Panda 3” (2016), where his mother voiced Tigger, and was a set photographer on the film “First They Killed My Father”
Angelina told People that working alongside both Pax and Maddox feels like a big family.
“When a film crew is at its best, it feels like a big family, so it felt natural”said the actress.
Zahara, born on January 8, 2005 was found in an orphanage in Hawassa, Ethiopia. The eldest daughter attended red carpets with her mother, and launched her charity jewelry line Zahara Collection in collaboration with jeweler Robert Procop in 2019. She also made charity trips with Angelina to Syrian refugee camps.
She was with Angelina when the actress gave an emotional speech promoting the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act in February 2022 and, a year later, when they met with lawmakers to advocate for the passage of the Justice Reauthorization Act for all from 2022.
On May 27, 2006, at Cottage Hospital in Swakopmund, Namibia, Angelina gave birth to Shiloh, the family’s second daughter.
“Shi is so full of light and love, she’s just a little honey and very, very funny”Angelina stated in the interview given to MSN.
Shiloh has been active in the entertainment industry, spending time at the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles.
In the summer of this year, Shiloh, the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, filed an application to change her last name, removing the father’s name. Her sister, Zahara, 19, introduced herself to a Spelman College fraternity last year as Zahara Jolie.
Knox and Vivieni, were born on July 12, 2008, in Nice, France. About Knox, Angelina says that he is very similar emotionally and physically to his father, Brad.
Like older siblings Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, Knox had a small role in the film “Kung Fu Panda 3”, playing the role of Ku Ku. “They were a bit shy”Jolie told ET.
Vivieni, the other twin, appeared in the film Maleficent (2014), where she played the younger version of Aurora.
“I was actually shocked that she’s doing so well that she came back and hit her target! It’s scary”Angelina stated at the time
