See how Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt looked when they were their kids’ age

Angelina Jolie and her son Knox Jolie-Pitt went viral over the weekend after walking the red carpet together at the Governors Awards. It was a rare appearance for the 16-year-old, who last walked the red carpet with his mom on October 27, 2021, at the Eternals premiere.

Angelina shares Knox, his twin sister Vivienne, Maddox (23), Pax (20), Zahara (19), and Shiloh (18) with ex-husband Brad Pitt.  It’s no secret that the actor does not have the best relationship with his children, but it doesn’t negate the fact that his biological children look like the perfect genetic blend of him and his former wife. 

We still don’t know what’s in the future for their children, but Brad and Angelina knew they wanted to be actors when they were teenagers, and their old headshots and modeling pictures give us a look into just how much they look like their children.

Brad’s acting career began in 1991 with a small role in Thelma & Louise, but he was a model before that, which explains these amazing portraits.

One of Angelina’s most famous features is her lips, which Shiloh has definitely inherited.

The 49-year-old actress was always destined to be a star. Her first role was as a child in the 1982 film Lookin’ to Get Out, which was produced by her Academy Award-winning father Jon Voight.

As the kids continue to grow up, we will see just how much they morph into their famous parents.

Brad’s relationship with his kids

There have been many clues that things are not going well between Brad and his family. His divorce from Angelina has been ongoing since they split in 2016, and the kids have slowly shown their distance.

The biggest sign has been their desire to drop Pitt’s name. Zahara did it at school, Vivienne did it on her playbill, and Shiloh even legally dropped his last name on her 18th birthday.

It was even reported by Page Six that the actor believed Angelina brought Knox to the Governors Awards to “push his buttons.” An insider reportedly told the outlet, “Brad finds it a bit coincidental that a judge signed off on the [Château] Miraval trial just days before Knox joined Angelina at the Governors Awards.”
