Maddox (Maddox Chivan)

Rath Vibol was born on 08/05/2001 in a refugee camp in Cambodia. He lived in an orphanage until March 2002, when Angelina Jolie adopted him. At that time, Jolie was married to Billy Bob Thornton, and came to Cambodia to shoot the film "". After adoption, by Angelina, the boy received the nameMaddox Shivan Thornton Jolie.

I must say that the appearance of Maddox in the life of Jolie radically changed her. First, she quarreled with her husband, who did not want to accept someone else's child, and a little later, Angelina and Bob divorced.

Jon Voight was also not happy with her act, he wrote her a letter ( the content of which is unknown) after which Angelina refused to communicate with her father for a long time, despite John's attempt to make amends.

After divorce from Billy Bob Thornton, Angelina Jolie received sole custody of the child.

The name translates as " Lord's son» ( son of the lord. After the appearance in the life of Angelina, another surname was added to the name of Maddox - Pitt. Now his full name is:

Maddox Shivan Thornton Jolie-Pitt

When Angelina looked into his intelligent black eyes, she realized that she would never be able to live the same way again. She felt that in this baby there is something dear to her.

An excerpt from an interview with Angelina Jolie for one of the Russian magazines:

« Believe it or not, Maddox was the first child I ever held. I have never "baby-sitting" before. In my youth, I was too "punk rock" for anyone to trust me with their child. And if someone asked me if I want to hold the baby in my arms, I answered "no." When the sleeping Maddox was placed in my arms at the shelter, I was afraid that he would wake up and start crying. But he opened his eyes, looked at me for a long time and then smiled. I smiled too, and it seemed to me that we liked each other and that we could make each other happy. That's how I found my son, who became my best friend. During filming, I can't wait for the lunch break to see him. I had no idea that I would get so much pleasure from communicating with Maddox».

I must say that Angelina was not mistaken, and the baby is really similar to her character. In October 2007, for hitherto unknown misdeeds, Maddox was expelled from the privileged lyceum for in-depth study of the French language, in which he studied.

Regarding this incident, Angelina Jolie stated that this is the usual search for individuality inherent in any child. From the moment of his adoption by Angelina, Maddox has been shown not a weak interest of the press and paparazzi, this prevents him from learning normally, without being distracted by outside affairs. It was rumored that this was not the first such case, but the fourth, at that time (2007) Maddox was then only five years old.

When he was 9 years old, in addition to English, he knew Khmer (the official language of Cambodia) and studied French. Also, studied karate, drove a boat, etc. He approached everything very seriously and responsibly. he is an older brother (his sister does not have a soul in him and tries to be like him in everything), he loved and watched his younger brothers and sisters very much.

At the age of 14, she had her first girlfriend, she comes from England. Angelina Jolie calls her cool, and tries to get Maddox to visit England more often.

In 2015, Angelina again visited Cambodia, in connection with her directorial work " First they killed my father - Cambodia's daughter's memories».

Jolie has high hopes for the film, because, among other things, with his help, she wants to improve Maddox's relationship with her homeland. According to Angelina's plan, the boy will spend all his free time on the set after school.

Myself Maddox Shivan constantly talking about traveling to Cambodia and surfing the Internet for hours trying to find his real relatives, which at first caused some anxiety among Jolie, and various rumors.

Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt



Three years after the appearance of Maddox in the family, Angelina adopted a 6-year-old orphan from Ethiopia - Zahara Marley.

Although Zahara often rewards photographers with her killer look, her mother said that the girl is, in fact, very feminine and caring.

In 2007, it turned out that Zahara's biological mother was alive and would like to see her.

Just like her older brother, she loves the world of cinema. So, the 12-girl voiced one of the minor characters in the movie "Kung Fu Panda 3".

Every week HELLO.RU talks about what celebrity children wear. Last time we got acquainted with the style of the son of 23-time Olympic champion Michael Phelps and former "Miss California" Nicole Johnson - Boomer, and today the hero of our column is Maddox - the adopted son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who recently shocked the public with news about their divorce .

Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt, formerly Rath Vibol, was born on August 5, 2001 in Cambodia, Southeast Asia. At the age of 7 months, he was in an orphanage for refugees, where Angelina Jolie saw him. The actress flew to Cambodia to shoot the film "Beyond" about third world countries, and flew away from there, becoming the mother of little Maddox.

You may not believe me, but Maddox was the first child that I held in my arms. Before that, I had never had to deal with children. In my youth I was a punk, and some parents did not trust me with their babies, while others asked: "Do you want to hold it?". I answered: "No!". When the sleeping Maddox was placed in my arms at the shelter, I was afraid that he would wake up and start crying. But he opened his eyes, looked at me for a long time and then smiled. I smiled too. At that moment it seemed to me that we liked each other and that we could make each other happy,

She said in an interview with Jolie, who, after a divorce from Billy Bob Thornton in 2003, received sole custody of the boy. Two years later, Brad Pitt filed the adoption documents for Maddox and Jolie's second adopted child, Zahara. It is noteworthy that at that time Brad and Angelina had not yet declared themselves a couple. On January 19, 2006, a California court granted Pitt's petition, and on May 27, 2006, the couple's first biological child, Shiloh's daughter, was born. So Maddox became an older brother, fulfilling his mission with pleasure even when there were six children in the Jolipitt family.

Pitt and Jolie have repeatedly shared in interviews that Maddox is growing up as an ideal son, a caring brother and a true intellectual. From an early age, he has been studying languages ​​- now he speaks English, Khmer and French, and is also seriously interested in music. When he was 12 years old, his parents gave the birthday man a Fender Stratocaster guitar worth about 6 thousand dollars. Since then, Maddox's favorite pastime has been guitar lessons, in which his dad Brad fully supports him, who at one time also dreamed of a career as a rock musician.

Passion for music was reflected in the appearance of Maddox. If, as a child, he wore minimalist things, mainly in the style of a safari, then as a young man, he replenished his wardrobe with a considerable amount of rocker things. These are black jeans, and trousers with chains, and T-shirts with all kinds of prints - from skulls to the names of punk rock bands, and leather jackets with metallic elements. The only thing that Maddox has not lost interest in is military-style clothing and various accessories, including logo caps, oversized knitted hats, scarves and shoulder bags. Another accessory that no Maddox trip can do without is aviator sunglasses. They can be considered both a fashion trend and a forced measure of protection from the paparazzi who pursue Maddox from the cradle.

And if in everyday life the guy adheres to rock style, then on the red carpet he appears in classic suits or less strict options in the form of a combination of trousers, vest and tie. Speaking of red carpets, you can see Maddox more and more often, because not so long ago he starred in Brad's film "World War Z" and worked with Angelina on her directorial project - the film "First they killed my father - memories of a daughter of Cambodia." What future he will choose - a musician, actor or director, time will tell. One thing is clear for sure: his parents will support him in any creative endeavors.

Maddox Shivan, 18

Maddox was the first adopted child of Angelina Jolie. He was born in Cambodia on August 5, 2001 and ended up in a refugee shelter at the age of one. There he was found by his future mother, who at that moment was on the set of the film "Beyond". The boy's real name is Rath Vibol. Then Jolie was married to Billy Thornton, but soon the marriage broke up and the actress officially became the adoptive mother of Maddox. Angelina's relatives were not happy with her act (no one could understand why she needed custody of someone else's child), so there were several quarrels in her family.

In an interview, Jolie admitted that Maddox is the first child in her life that she took in her arms. She found herself a son who became her best friend. “I didn’t even imagine that I would get such pleasure from communicating with Maddox,” Jolie shared.

The boy turned out to be smart: at the age of 9 he already knew two languages ​​​​(English and his native, Khmer), while studying French. When the guy entered his first relationship (at the age of 14), his mother supported him.

Now Maddox is preparing to go to South Korea to study at the university. He also periodically participates in the activities of his parents: Maddox helped Angelina Jolie filming the documentary First They Killed My Father: Memories of a Daughter of Cambodia. Also, together with Brad Pitt, he played a cameo role in the movie World War Z.

Zahara Marley, 13

Brad and Angelina adopted a baby girl in 2005. It happened in Ethiopia, and initially it was believed that the child was an orphan. Two years later, it was discovered that Zakhara's biological mother was alive, a scandal broke out, which was soon settled, and the girl met her real parents.

As Angelina said in an interview, at the age of six months, the baby did not even weigh five kilograms. She suffered from malnutrition and dehydration and suffered from salmonella, but good conditions and parental care worked a miracle, the child went on the mend.

According to her parents, the girl is very kind and caring, but modest. Zahara, along with her mother, voiced the characters in the cartoon "Kung Fu Panda 3".

Shiloh Nouvel, 12 years old

On May 27, 2006, the first biological daughter was born in the Jolie-Pitt family. The girl is very similar to her parents: plump lips and big eyes of her mother, nose, hair and face shape of her father were transferred to her.

Since birth, Shiloh has been surrounded by media attention. Parents were concerned about the safety of their daughter, so the birth took place in Namibia, in secret from everyone. Later, magazines managed to buy a photo of a newborn for $ 10 million.

8 years later, in 2014, Shilo declared herself as a transgender person named John. His wardrobe is bursting with sneakers and slates, jackets and T-shirts are waiting for the next release on hangers. Angelina and Brad let John decide who he wants to be.

Shiloh John spends more time with his brothers than with his sisters. He also does not forget about his parents, as frequent charity events with Angelina speak about.

Pax Tien, 13 years old

On March 5, 2007, the couple adopted a three-year-old Vietnamese boy. His real name is Pham Kwan. Rumor has it that the name "Pax" means "peace" and was chosen by Angelina's mother before her death.

Angelina says Pax is a great cook. When the opportunity arises to prepare a family dinner, no one can do it better than him. The boy baked a birthday cake for his parents' wedding.

Pax is an independent child, and this trait is shown even in his clothes. The guy has long been combining his images himself: it can be a hat with earflaps, a classic suit, a massive jumpsuit or sunglasses in the shape of stars.

It is not surprising that in the family of two actors, children are interested in cinema. Pax is no exception. During his 16 years, he has achieved some success in this area: he voiced a character in Kung Fu Panda - 3, played in Maleficent, and also proved himself as a photographer on the set of the film First They Killed My Father: Memories of Cambodia's Daughter ”, written by Angelina.

Twins Knox and Vivienne, 11

Twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are also the children of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. They were born on July 12, 2008. Parents at that time established a charitable foundation, and sold to the press photos of newly minted family members for $ 14 million, all of which were donated to charity. Baby Vivien has already started her acting career: she starred in the film "Maleficent", in which she played the little princess Aurora.
