Not the adopted son of Vietnamese origin, nor the biological π€π©πͺππ₯ren, Maddox – Angelina Jolie’s first adopted son – is the one to whom the actress gave all her assets after her divorce from Brad Pitt.
The orphaned boy with 3 fathers conquered Angelina Jolie with a smile
Angelina Jolie once thought she would not give ππ’π«ππ‘, would not get pregnant, but she completely changed her mind when she went to Cambodia to film The Secret of the Ancient Tomb in 2000. According to Mr. Sarath Mounh – Angelina Jolie’s support partner, the actress really liked this land so she decided to adopt a π€π©πͺππ₯ here.
The actress ππ¨π«π§ in 1975 went to the orphanage and was quickly impressed by a boy who proactively stood up and smiled at her. That was Maddox – Angelina Jolie’s first adopted son later.
Angelina Jolie met Maddox in an orphanage.
Mr. Sarath Mounh shared: βAccording to what she told me, when she visited the orphanage and saw Maddox, Maddox smiled at her and stood up instead of crying like all the other π€π©πͺππ₯ren. That touched her heart. This is also the reason why Angelina Jolie chose Maddox. She commented that Maddox is smart, sharp, lovely, and smiles more to everyone than any other π€π©πͺππ₯”.
When he was in the orphanage, Maddox was named Rath Vibol, ππ¨π«π§ on August 5, 2001 in Cambodia and abandoned. In 2002, Sarath Mounh adopted Rath Vibol from the orphanage. Angelina Jolie adopted Rath Vibol from his adoptive father Sarath Mounh in 2003 and later changed his name to Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie.
Maddox’s smile made Angelina’s heart flutter.
At this time, Angelina Jolie was still living with her husband Billy Bon Thornton, so Maddox had the double surname Thornton Jolie. At the same time, actor Billy Bon Thornton was also Maddox’s second adoptive father.
When Angelina Jolie ended her marriage with Billy Bon Thornton and married Brad Pitt, Maddox had a third adoptive father and changed his name to Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt. So, even though he was an orphan, Maddox had 3 adoptive fathers and 3 different identities.
Maddox has 3 adoptive fathers.
Growing up in a family where both his adoptive parents are world-famous stars, Maddox also had many opportunities to develop his artistic talents. His mother took him to promote the movie Mr & Mrs Smith, and he played a zombie in Brad Pitt’s 2013 movie World War Z. In 2017, Maddox became a production assistant on the set of Angelina Jolie’s First the Killed My Father.
Maddox can speak 4 languages ββfluently: English, Cambodian, German and Russian.
Maddox was given 116 million USD by Angelina Jolie for protecting his adoptive mother.
Among Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s 6 π€π©πͺππ₯ren, Maddox is quite special because he is not only the eldest π€π©πͺππ₯, the first to be adopted, but also the π€π©πͺππ₯ to whom the actress gave all of her assets after her divorce from Brad Pitt. It is known that the amount of assets that Angelina Jolie gave to Maddox is up to 116 million USD.
Specifically, in 2019, there was information that Angelina Jolie decided to remove the other 5 π€π©πͺππ₯ren from her will and leave an inheritance of 116 million USD to her son Maddox.
Maddox stood out with a mature look when attending the event with his mother and siblings.
Many people commented that Angelina Jolie’s choice of Maddox to entrust her assets was not surprising. In addition to Maddox awakening in the female star’s desire to be a mother, he was also the π€π©πͺππ₯ who helped her overcome many difficult stages in life.
The female star herself admitted that Maddox’s appearance changed her thinking: “That’s my first π€π©πͺππ₯. He made me a real woman.” Since adopting Maddox, Angelina Jolie has given up her previous rebellious life and filed for divorce from Billy Bob Thornton.
Maddox is neat and handsome in adulthood.
Maddox is said to be the spiritual support of the female star, and is also the π€π©πͺππ₯ who is always willing to protect his mother in all circumstances. In 2016, when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had a fierce argument on a flight from France to Los Angeles, a witness revealed that Maddox did not hesitate to stand in front of his adoptive father to protect his adoptive mother: “Brad Pitt was drunk and argued with Angelina Jolie. When Maddox spoke up to defend his mother and stood in front of his father, the situation became more tense.”
After the couple divorced, when Brad Pitt met with his π€π©πͺππ₯ren, Maddox also harshly expressed his opposition to his adoptive father while affirming his support for Angelina Jolie. People revealed that during this meeting, Maddox loudly shouted at Brad Pitt: “You are not my father” and then left.
Angelina Jolie and Maddox at the State Dinner hosted by US President Joe Biden and US First Lady Jill Biden for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife Kim Keon Hee.
Another source also confirmed that Maddox asked the court for permission not to meet Brad Pitt. Later, during his studies at the University, Angelina Jolie’s Cambodian-ππ¨π«π§ adopted son also dropped his surname Pitt, only using his mother’s surname in documents that did not have much legal significance.
Currently, Maddox is 23 years old and has a handsome, masculine appearance. As the son of a famous and wealthy female star, Maddox not only regularly attends major events with businessmen and entertainment professionals but also meets many politicians.
He also studied at the prestigious school: Yonsei University – one of the most prestigious universities in Korea.
