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 child 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 a privileged high school for advanced studies. French where 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, there is not a weak interest in the press and paparazzi for Maddox, 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 ( official language Cambodia) and taught 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.

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 everything on the set free time 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.

The Jolie-Pitts are one of the most famous star families, whose life has been followed by residents of the whole world for the last 13 years. And there are several reasons for this.

Firstly, it is, of course, Angelina and Brad themselves - each of them individually collects thousands of views on the Internet, and if they appear in public together, then the ratings of publications on the pages of online publications go off scale.

Secondly, the public is no less interested in the children of the spouses, in particular, the couple's fans admire how they combine work and the upbringing of an entire "hockey team" - not everyone can find a balance between filming a movie and at the same time find time for each of the six children: "We try to pay attention to each child! It takes almost all of our time - after all, there are six of them! Of course, we get very tired, but we decided that we would have big family and that we will support each other to succeed."

According to sources from the environment of the stars, the actors are very extraordinary parents: "It feels like they live in a hippie commune, because they do not recognize any rules. Jolie believes that children should be given freedom of expression."

However, Angie still sometimes fears for the future of her children: “I hope they will never go crazy like me! At 14 I was already living with a guy! But, despite all my antics, I was always very close with my mother. I want my children to be as close to me. They are my best friends. We love to sit and chat about life."

Well, if you are not familiar with celebrity offspring, then we suggest you do it now.

Date of Birth: August 5, 2001 (age 14)

In family since March 2002

Maddox Shivan was adopted by Jolie in the spring of 2002 in Cambodia, where the celebrity was filming at the time in the film Beyond. Then the actress was still married to Billy Bob Thornton, but soon the actors filed for divorce, and Angie received sole custody of the child.

“When I saw his thoughtful brown eyes, I immediately wanted to take care of him. I felt a kindred spirit in him. Before Maddox, I didn’t hold children in my arms at all. desperate teenager, so the kids simply did not trust me.

If anyone was interested in whether I would like to take the little one in my arms, I answered without hesitation: "No." In the orphanage, when I saw Maddox peacefully snoring, I was suddenly afraid that he would suddenly open his eyes and burst into tears. However, when he woke up, the first thing he did was smile at me. So I got Foster-son with whom I immediately became friends. Even while filming a movie, I constantly think about him. Previously, I could not imagine what amazing feelings a woman experiences when she becomes a mother, ”Jolie said in one of her interviews some time after adoption.

Somehow the actress also noted that she and Maddox are very similar characters. A couple of years ago, the boy was even expelled from the school with in-depth study of the French language, because he could not concentrate on his studies. And his mother, as we know, was still that rebel in her youth.

The girl suffered from malnutrition and dehydration, because of which she had to spend some time in an American hospital. The first months, the actors did not leave the baby: "When she was six months old, she weighed less than nine pounds. It shocked us. It would have been unrealistic to save her life a little more. Surprisingly, food combined with care makes children happy."

It is noteworthy that Zakhara was allegedly left an orphan as a result of the death of her biological mother from AIDS. In 2007, it turned out that own mother girls are alive and well.

“Before, I did not allow the thought of giving birth to a child myself, but after this pretty baby was born, and I was convinced that for Brad there are no differences between adopted and own children, I changed my point of view,” said Jolie .

By the way, recently information appeared in the media that Shilo, having learned about the possibility of changing sex and becoming a full-fledged boy, began to beg her parents to take her to a plastic surgeon. But the public was more shocked by the reaction of Jolie: the actress at first tried to turn everything into a joke, but, having failed to dissuade her daughter, she decided not to interfere with her desire: “Shilo wants to be a boy. Therefore, we cut her hair short. She loves sports and strict suits with trousers. Just like a real dandy. She thinks she's one of the brothers. I think Shiloh has all the makings of an actress. As a child, I dressed up and jumped like a fool, just like her!"

Pax Tien

"I'm not cooking Christmas dinner - it's better for everyone. My son Pax will make it much more wonderful," the actress said last year, noting that Pax had already cooked Thanksgiving turkey and also made a pie for her wedding to Brad .

"We are in total chaos right now, but we are trying to control it. This is such a wonderful period in life! Fortunately, Brad's parents are visiting us now. So we are coping with this chaos and feeling great! Babies eat at the same time - I have already learned how to breastfeed them at the same time. Then the older children come and take the babies in their arms. They also help bathe and swaddle them. Shiloh and Zahara choose what to wear for the babies, help me change them. It's so cute, they are like little mothers ", Jolie told reporters at the time.

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 biological mother Zahari is 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".
