Angelina Jolie said she feels she has more in common with Maddox than her three biological π€π©πͺππ₯ren with Brad Pitt.
Adopted son is more pampered than biological son
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are the celebrity couple with the most π€π©πͺππ₯ren in Hollywood, with 6 π€π©πͺππ₯ren, both biological and adopted. In the long and tiring divorce of the powerful couple, the issue of π€π©πͺππ₯ren and the division of the huge fortune is always the most painful and difficult to agree on.
Recently, the news that Angelina Jolie plans to leave all of her $113 million fortune to her eldest son Maddox has been widely discussed in the media and the Maleficent actress has not denied it.
A close source said that Brad Pitt was extremely angry with Angelina Jolie’s decision. The actor thinks that his ex-wife treats her π€π©πͺππ₯ren too differently and needs someone to remind Jolie that she has 5 other π€π©πͺππ₯ren, including 3 biological π€π©πͺππ₯ren.
Many opinions also say that Angelina Jolie’s exclusion of her own biological π€π©πͺππ₯ren from the inheritance is too unfair, even unreasonable.
In fact, Angelina Jolie has never hidden her bias towards the son she adopted from Cambodia. Maddox is the only π€π©πͺππ₯ she adopted alone, not involved in her broken marriage with Brad Pitt.
Angelina Jolie believes that each π€π©πͺππ₯’s personality is determined from ππ’π«ππ‘, will not change when they grow up and is not related to their parents by blood. That is why she feels Maddox is more attached to and similar to her than her biological π€π©πͺππ₯.
“I think π€π©πͺππ₯ren are determined who they are when they are ππ¨π«π§. If you look at pictures of my π€π©πͺππ₯ren, you can see their personalities and energy. Whether they are sweet, elegant, reserved, funny or outgoing, they have been that way since they were little. They are ππ¨π«π§ with so many qualities. And I believe that being a parent is just about encouraging and supporting them, not interfering too much. People may believe that biological π€π©πͺππ₯ren will be more like their parents, but I don’t. Maddox and I are extremely similar. So personality doesn’t necessarily have to do with blood,” she shared with DailyMail.
Angelina Jolie believes Maddox is the π€π©πͺππ₯ who resembles her the most.
The special bond between Angelina Jolie and Maddox became stronger as her marriage to Brad Pitt deteriorated. While Pax was rebellious, Zahara had no clear stance, Shiloh was attached to her father Brad Pitt, and twins Vivien and Knox were too young, Maddox was the strong shoulder for his mother to lean on.
A mature man for his mother to rely on
Since her mastectomy for breast cancer in 2013, Angelina Jolie’s health has been deteriorating. In 2015, she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to prevent cancer cells.
After consecutive surgeries, Jolie lost the ability to have π€π©πͺππ₯ren and entered pre-menopause very early, which had a significant impact on both her physical and mental health.
In addition, Angelina Jolie also suffered from anorexia, which made her body so weak that it was alarming. A British newspaper confirmed that after surgery, Angelina Jolie weighed less than 40 kg.
Despite her poor health, Jolie still has to work hard to make up for the losses after the divorce. In 2019 alone, Jolie completed 4 film projects and has another film with Marvel waiting to start filming. She tries to work and look cheerful, but everyone can see that the former beauty is worryingly thin.
Angelina Jolie’s image shows that she is still very thin and pale.
When her health is declining, it is not surprising that Angelina Jolie wants to find someone mature and talented enough to inherit her film empire. And Maddox is definitely the most reasonable choice because he is the most mature π€π©πͺππ₯ and at the same time has the most potential to follow in his mother’s footsteps.
In 2017, Angelina Jolie brought her two sons, Maddox and Pax, to Cambodia to join the crew of the film First They Killed My Father, which she directed.
While Pax only took on the task of taking behind-the-scenes photos as a hobby, his older brother, who is 2 years older, is a producer named in the film crew.
Maddox and his mother are listed as producers of the film First They Killed My Father.
In his first interview, Maddox praised his mother: “I always try to help everyone on the crew as much as possible. Angelina Jolie’s mother is very funny and easy to work with. She is truly a miracle.” In return, Jolie also praised her son’s 4 months of working with the film crew.
To prepare for the role of producer, Maddox studied many documentaries and it was he who encouraged his mother to start the project when Jolie was still hesitant. Before First They Killed My Father, Maddox had experience participating in the film crew of Ben Bo Bien, also directed by Jolie’s mother.
It can be seen that Angelina Jolie was very pleased when her son showed his talent early in the film industry. This is probably the reason why she believes Maddox will become her only successor.
Although Maddox is the “golden boy” chosen by Jolie’s mother, her other π€π©πͺππ₯ren will certainly not be disadvantaged. Jolie will continue to raise her π€π©πͺππ₯ren in luxury as she is now with a large allowance from Brad Pitt. The couple’s other 5 π€π©πͺππ₯ren can also receive inheritance from their father Brad Pitt.
