Angelina Jolie & Son Pax Make Red Carpet Appearance After His Accident

As I delve into the captivating lives of Hollywood’s elite, I find myself awestruck by the journey of Angelina Jolie and her brood. The tale of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, born on the cusp of adulthood in 2006, is a testament to her determination and independence. At just 18, she took the bold step to shed the hyphenated “Pitt” from her surname, asserting her individuality in the glaring spotlight.

Pax Jolie-Pitt is healing in the spotlight.

20-year-old son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who was involved in an electric bike accident a month ago, appeared alongside his mother at a public event. The pair graced the red carpet for the premiere of Angelina’s movie “Without Blood” during the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. This is the seventh film that Angelina has directed.

As I stood there, clad in a sleek, all-black ensemble just like my mom, donning shades to complete the look, I couldn’t help but flash a grin for the cameras. Despite the jovial atmosphere, the scar across my forehead from the unfortunate accident was undeniably present. Working as an assistant director on this film, I felt a sense of pride and excitement that was hard to contain.

Regarding Angelina, she appeared joyful standing alongside her son, wearing a sleek black dress paired with long black gloves. At 49 years old, Angelina and Pax were captured in a photo with the movie’s cast, including the lead actress Salma Hayek.

During the incident involving Pax in late July, it became known that he had been in Los Angeles. At that time, his electric bicycle collided with a vehicle that was halted at a red traffic light.

Angelina, who is the mother of Maddox (23), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Knox and Vivienne (15) together with Brad Pitt, has been by her son’s side while he recovers. According to a source from TopMob, all of Pax’s siblings have visited him as they are very close to him.

As for his recovery, it won’t be too speedy due to the severity of the injuries he sustained.

He’s been through severe ordeals, marking the start of his lengthy healing process that includes rehabilitation. A family insider told TopMob News in August that Pax and Angelina are extremely thankful for the swift intervention by emergency responders and the excellent medical attention he received.

For more about Angelina and Brad’s children, read on.

After developing a deep affection for Cambodia during the filming of 2001’s Tomb Raider, Angelina Jolie made a trip to Battambang, a rural town, with the intention of adopting her first child.

Later on, she shared with Vanity Fair that she didn’t feel a connection with any of them until she encountered Maddox, born on August 5, 2001, hanging in a box from the ceiling. The moment she saw him, she felt an immediate bond, and she cried profusely.

Even though the 26-year-old woman had adopted her oldest son on her own, once she started dating Brad Pitt later on, he took steps to legally adopt the boy too.

Being captivated by my mother’s professional endeavors, I found myself lending a hand when Angelina Jolie directed the 2017 film, “First They Killed My Father,” which was an adaptation of her friend Loung Ung’s book detailing the Cambodian genocide under the Khmer Rouge regime. In this project, I served as an executive producer. Speaking to People magazine about my involvement, I shared, “I was trying to contribute wherever I could.” As for working with Angelina, who is also my mother, she’s described as fun, humorous, and a delight to collaborate with. She truly is remarkable.

Following his biochemistry education at Yonsei University, a decision that made his mother extremely joyful, Maddox attended a White House state dinner in April 2023. This event was graciously hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden for the visiting South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and his spouse, First Lady Kim Keon Hee.

In a conversation with MSN in 2007, Angelina described that from November 29, 2003, for approximately three and a half years, her son, Pax, lived in a single location, confined to one room, on an iron bed shared with twenty other children. During this time, he had no personal autonomy or freedom to make choices for himself. This was his experience at an orphanage located outside Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Coexisting with Maddox, as well as his sisters Zahara and Shiloh, Angelina described the situation as follows: “All of a sudden, he finds himself in an extremely open environment with new siblings and parents.” She went on to say, “He’s learning English now, and he’s incredibly affectionate. He’s wild and free because he’s experiencing freedom for the first time, which makes him a bit unruly and boisterous. But what a resilient and extraordinary little individual he is.

In regards to his enthusiasm for the family enterprise, Pax lent his voice to portray Yoo in Angelina’s 2016 animated film “Kung Fu Panda 3” and functioned as a set photographer on “First They Killed My Father”. Later, he accompanied his mom to the 2018 Golden Globes.

Additionally, he was involved in both decorating Atelier Jolie – the artistic fashion cooperative and tailoring business that Angelina launched in New York City – and working within the assistant director team for the Italian production of her upcoming movie titled “Without Blood.

According to Angelina, as she shared with People, when a movie team functions optimally, it’s like being part of a large family, which made working alongside Pax and Maddox feel quite organic.

3-year-old Maddox joined Angelina at the orphanage in Hawassa, Ethiopia, where they met their eldest daughter Zahara, who was born on January 8, 2005. “Mad adores her,” the actress revealed to Anderson Cooper later on. “When Zahara arrived home, she was already seven months old, so for Maddox it’s like having a small pet he can just cradle and observe.

Just like her siblings, Zahara shows a keen interest in various aspects of her mother’s professional life. She’s attended high-profile events such as red carpets, launched her own charitable jewelry line (the Zahara Collection) in partnership with Robert Procop in 2019, and joined her mom’s missions to Syrian refugee camps as part of their joint work with the UNHCR.

In August 2022, Angelina felt emotional as she sent Zahara to Atlanta’s Spelman College (she said in an Instagram post, “I haven’t cried yet… I hope I can keep it together”). Later, she came back for the homecoming celebrations of this Historically Black College or University (HBCU).

Zahara, who became a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at school in 2023, has also traveled with an actress on multiple visits to Washington D.C. She stood beside Angelina during her emotional speech advocating for the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act in February 2022 and later when they lobbied legislators for the approval of the Justice for All Reauthorization Act of 2022.

Following the joyous announcement of my pregnancy, my dear partner Brad and I were blessed with the arrival of our daughter Shiloh at Cottage Hospital in Swakopmund, Namibia on May 27, 2006. In an interview with MSN, I shared my heartfelt feelings about her: “Shi is a beacon of light and love, she’s as sweet as honey, and her humor never fails to amuse. There are glimpses of me in her – she’s going to keep us on our toes!

At her first public appearance on the red carpet at the premiere of Unbroken in 2014, Shiloh subsequently attended events for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, The Breadwinner, Dumbo, and the 2018 National Board of Review Awards Gala. Additionally, she graced the red carpet at the 2021 Eternals premiere while wearing her mother’s Dior dress.

Angelina said on Daily Pop at TopMob, “Wow, go ahead and wear it! You can even wear it better than me!” She explained that she encourages her kids to borrow her clothes, saying, “Take it, make it yours now. It’s your turn!” She jokingly added, “I’m that kind of mom.

Besides expressing curiosity towards Angelina’s charitable work, it appears Shiloh has dipped her toes into the world of entertainment, often visiting L.A.’s Millennium Dance Complex.

On her 18th birthday in 2024, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt filed a petition at a Los Angeles Court to legally drop the “Jolie-Pitt” part of her surname, opting to be recognized as just Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. According to insider reports shared with TopMob News, Shiloh has retained personal legal representation and is financing the costs herself.

Making her pregnancy public at the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards, Angelina later welcomed twin sons, Knox and Vivienne, into the world on July 12, 2008, in Nice, France. The family found their home at Château Miraval, where they thrived amidst the chaos but enjoyed every moment. Shortly after, Angelina shared with People magazine that her older children, Shiloh and Zahara, loved picking out clothes for the twins, helping to change them, and even holding them close.

In honor of Brad’s grandfather, Hal Knox Hillhouse, Angelina pointed out that “Knox is very much like Brad, both emotionally and physically.” This certainly held true as they both showed a strong likeness at the 2015 British motorcycle Grand Prix.

Just as Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh, who are older siblings, took on minor roles in 2016’s “Kung Fu Panda 3,” Knox also joined the cast, voicing Ku Ku. As Jolie shared with ET, they were initially a bit reserved, not particularly keen on acting. However, she didn’t want them to miss out on the chance. They came in and had a great time with it.

In a statement given to TopMob News, Angelina remarked that Knox’s younger fraternal twin resembles her mother in terms of not seeking the spotlight but rather providing support to fellow creatives. She described her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, as thoughtful, deeply invested in theater, and diligent about finding ways to contribute effectively.

As a lifestyle expert, I can share that the young actress who brilliantly portrayed the younger Aurora in the 2014 movie “Maleficent” (and left me speechless with her performance) has moved on from acting roles in front of the camera. Instead, she’s found herself more comfortable working behind the scenes.

Angelina mentioned that Vivienne inspired her to participate in adapting Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 movie “The Outsiders” for Broadway. Consequently, the teenager took on the role of a volunteer helper for her mother, who won a Tony, in the production process.

Angelina shared with People that Vivienne, who is listed as Vivienne Jolie in the playbill, will correct her if needed. “She’ll remind me, ‘Didn’t you see the memo? We need to do this, we have to go through this,'” said Jolie, expressing how diligent and serious Vivienne has been as her assistant.
