Angelina Jolie Radiates Joy With Son Knox in Uncommon Public Appearance
In a delightful moment captured on the red carpet, Angelina Jolie made a stylish entrance with her son Knox at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 15th Annual Governors Awards in Los Angeles on November 17. The 49-year-old actress beamed with pride as she arrived arm-in-arm with her 16-year-old son, who is no longer the little boy we remember but rather a striking young man who appeared notably taller than his mother, even with her high heels.
Jolie dazzled in a shimmering gold gown adorned with elegant silver jewelry, while Knox complemented her look in a sleek black tuxedo, showcasing a trendy buzz cut. The duo posed together for the cameras, sharing genuine smiles as Jolie affectionately placed an arm around Knox.
This recent appearance marks Knox’s return to the public eye after a notable absence—his last red carpet event was in October 2021 during the London premiere of Jolie’s Marvel film, Eternals. Knox is one of the six children Jolie shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, and a twin brother to Vivienne.
Despite their prominent lineage, Jolie recently hinted that her children are not inclined to pursue careers in acting. During an interview at the AFI premiere of her film Maria, she reflected on their shy and private natures, indicating they prefer to keep out of the limelight. Yet, they remain a constant source of support for Jolie in her cinematic endeavors. Jolie recalled the encouragement she received from her children as she prepared for her red carpet appearances, highlighting their unwavering love and pride for her work.
Earlier this year, Jolie was accompanied by three of her children—Pax, Zahara, and Maddox—at the New York Film Festival premiere of Maria. She expressed her gratitude for their presence, saying it gave her strength and confidence, regardless of the outcome of her performance.
While acting may not be in their future, Jolie’s two oldest children have contributed to her projects behind the scenes. Maddox and Pax have taken on assistant directing roles, proving their involvement and support for their mother’s career. Meanwhile, Vivienne has appeared in various aspects of Jolie’s work, including a role in Maleficent and assisting in a Broadway production.
As for Knox, he made an off-screen appearance by voicing a character in Kung Fu Panda 3, showcasing that while he may shy away from the spotlight, he has dabbled in the cinematic world alongside his mother.
Jolie’s recent outing with Knox not only highlights the bond between mother and son but also captivates fans with a glimpse into their evolving family dynamic, as her children navigate their identities while supporting their mother in her illustrious career.
