Pax Thien is the adopted Vietnamese son of Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Among the six 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren of the famous star couple, he is receiving special attention from the media.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were once considered the golden couple of Hollywood entertainment. They fell in love with the Mr. and Mrs. Smith project in 2005 and have been together for more than a decade.
In 2014, they held a wedding in front of their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and parents. However, the dream marriage of Hollywood’s top stars only lasted 2 years.

Since 2016, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been engaged in a battle for custody of their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and division of assets after divorce. Although Brad Pitt is gaining an advantage in property division lawsuits, Angelina Jolie is the winner in the family battle. Up to 5/6 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren have moved to abandon the Pitt family name, showing their opposition to their father and support for their mother.
Frankly express your attitude towards Brad Pitt
Among the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren who publicly sided with Jolie, the Vietnamese-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 adopted son Pax Thien is considered the most notable. In 2020, on Father’s Day, he had an interesting status on social networks, frankly criticizing Brad Pitt.
He wrote: “Happy Father’s Day. Time and time again, you only prove that you are a bad and despicable father.”
Pax Thien also sympathized with his brothers, who always trembled in fear every time they faced their father: “You will never understand the hurt you caused to the family. You are incapable of understanding.
He turns the lives of those he loves most into hell. You can tell yourself and the world anything, but the truth will come to light one day.”

In front of the media, Pax Thien did not give Brad Pitt the same words of love and respect he gave to his mother, Angelina Jolie. Over the years, the young man of Vietnamese origin has always appeared with a masculine and strong image next to his mother.

18 years ago, Pax Thien lived for 3 years in an orphanage center in Ho Chi Minh City, before being adopted by a world-famous star couple.
When Pax Thien entered the famous star couple’s family, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopted Maddox and Zahara. The two also had a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 together, Shiloh.
From a shy boy to a strong young man
When he first came to America, the Vietnamese boy was very scared and was considered the most “reclusive” member of the Jolie-Pitt family’s six 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. He only appears on the streets when he needs to go out with his mother and siblings. Pax Thien was also not happy when meeting the paparazzi.
Although he has an introverted personality, likes to be quiet and reserved, since his adoptive parents broke up, Pax Thien has proven that he has matured so that his mother and siblings can lean on him when needed. He appeared with his mother more often, appearing calmer and more confident even though he knew paparazzi were following him.
Currently, Pax Thien is 20 years old, looks like a young man with a masculine and tough appearance. When eldest brother Maddox went to study abroad in Korea, Pax Thien became a support for his mother. His life and work largely revolve around his adoptive mother Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie confided, Pax Thien is an emotional boy. The adopted son of Vietnamese origin is very close to his mother, willing to escort her shopping, eating or even walking anywhere. Pax Thien is described as a mother’s little friend, always by Angelina Jolie’s side whenever she needs it.
“My 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are the closest people to me in life and my best friends. We are seven very different individuals, that is our strength,” Jolie said of her relationship with 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
Like his adoptive parents, Pax Thien has a special passion for art. He began interacting with the entertainment industry when he was adopted by Jolie and Pitt in the early 2000s.
As a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Pax Thien attended red carpet events with her parents such as the Golden Globe Awards in 2018 and the world premiere of the movie Maleficent: Mistress of Evil in 2019 with Jolie.
