Angelina Jolie’s children are increasingly becoming part of her professional life in various capacities.
Angelina Jolie, mother to six children – Maddox, 23; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; Knox, 16; and Vivienne, 16 – who she co-parents with her former husband, Brad Pitt.
From a young age, their children have been part of their professional world, making appearances in their films, and attending red-carpet events.
As the children mature, we are starting to see their individual interests unfold, with several of them showing a strong inclination towards the arts.
Angelina Jolie shares her thoughts on witnessing her children transition into “working adults”.
“I love it,” she expressed to Entertainment Tonight at the AFI Fest premiere of her latest film, Maria, where she portrays the legendary opera icon Maria Callas. “Whether they’re with me or not, they’re doing their own thing, and I love them as individuals.”
Interestingly, Angelina finds more joy in motherhood now that her children are older, stating, “Some people may prefer the baby stage, but I love this stage.”
Angelina is already creating a buzz for her role in Maria, which chronicles the life of one of the 20th century’s most influential opera icons.
The role required Angelina to not only learn to sing like Maria but also to emotionally navigate some intense scenes. However, it seems her difficult days on set were made easier by the support of her sons.
“My boys were there,” she told Extra TV on the red carpet, likely referring to Maddox and Pax, who were assistant directors on Maria. “I was fortunate that during my intense, emotional scenes, they would come and give me a tea and a hug.”
When her children were younger, Angelina, who was raised by actor parents, was somewhat hesitant about them pursuing Hollywood careers, stating in 2014 that she would “prefer they do something else.”
However, as the children have grown, Angelina is embracing their natural affinity for the arts, telling the Hollywood Reporter in August that her family has entered a new work era.
So, what’s your take on Brad and Angelina’s children possibly venturing into Hollywood careers? They certainly wouldn’t be the first celebrity children to make a name for themselves in the film industry. Share your thoughts in the comments!
