Of her 6 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, Angelina Jolie always shows the most favor and closeness to her Vietnamese-American son – Pax Thien.

In her famous marriage with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie has 6 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, both adopted and biological.

Although she always declares that she loves her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren equally regardless of whether they are boys or girls, blood relatives or not, or skin color, Angelina Jolie still cannot hide her special favor for one 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. That is the boy Pax Thien.

The name Pax Thien was given by Angelina Jolie herself to the Vietnamese boy. Thien means sky, so that he will always remember the place where he was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 and also shows the freedom and wildness in the boy’s personality – the thing that Angelina Jolie loves the most.

Always the most individualistic of Angelina’s six 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, Pax Thien lives very instinctively. Even Angelina Jolie had to admit that his rebelliousness reminded her of herself when she was young.

Despite his rebellious personality, for Angelina Jolie, Pax Thien is the most affectionate 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. She once shared about her second son Pax in an interview with pride. “Pax is very strong. He is very serious but also a sweet boy,” Angelina told Hello.

When he was young, Pax Thien was famous for always showing a rebellious attitude when being pursued by the press. But with Angelina’s maternal love, Pax Thien changed, the older he got, the more mature he became in personality and realized his special position compared to his siblings.

From a shy orphan boy to a strong, mature person, how was Pax Thien raised?

Although not the oldest 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Pax Thien always behaves like an older brother.

“Pax likes to give in and play with his younger siblings. Pax always takes care of them like a big brother ready to protect his younger siblings. From a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 who did not like to be followed, Pax always kept an eye on his younger siblings and when going out, he held their hands tightly as if he was afraid of getting lost,” Angelina Jolie described.

When his parents’ marriage broke down, Pax Thien showed more clearly the strength of a man, ready to become a support for his mother.

Pax is the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 who appears with Angelina the most. And every time they go out with their mother, people always see the 15-year-old boy carrying the bags, not letting his mother have to work hard even with the smallest things.

Pax Thien proves that he has matured both in appearance and in his heart. He is always aware that he is a man when he is with his mother by not letting her carry heavy things.

When Angelina Jolie went to Cambodia to film First They Killed My Father, she brought Pax Thien along and let him take the position of behind-the-scenes photographer for the film crew.

In 2017, amidst the turmoil of her divorce, Angelina Jolie only brought Pax Thien with her to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Not only does Pax Thien want to be a shoulder for his mother, perhaps Angelina Jolie herself always feels the need to have this “little man” by her side. Although they are not biological 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, the emotional bond between Angelina Jolie and Pax Thien is truly special.

Facing health and marriage troubles, Angelina Jolie always has Pax Thien by her side to lean on.
