Angelina Jolie appears with rarely-seen son Knox and he’s the spitting image of dad Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie attended the Governors Awards on Sunday alongside her rarely-seen son Knox Jolie-Pitt, who looks a lot like his famous father.

The 16-year-old was the epitome of Hollywood glamour with his mum and Oscar-winning actress, 48, on his arm as he wore a black suit with an oversized bow tie.

The Girl, Interrupted star opted for a gold and cream textured gown, with a dramatic silver necklace and some statement drooping earrings.

Absent from the event were Knox’s siblings – Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 17, as well as the teen’s twin Vivienne, 16.

Knox’s appearance was notable, as his last red carpet event was in 2021, when he and his siblings supported their mum at the London premiere of her Marvel film Eternals – and he’s definitely grown a few inches since.

Also at the Hollywood event – which honoured James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, as well as rom-com master Richard Curtis, casting director Juliet Taylor and the late Quincy Jones – were faces including Pamela Anderson, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet and Demi Moore.

Pamela turned up in an understated black dress and a no-makeup look, while Jennifer Hudson also rocked a smart black, sequin dress, and The Holiday star Kate opted for a chic suit with a dramatic flower detail.

Elsewhere Demi Moore also wore a glamorous black dress with some glitzy bling, as Jennifer Lawrence stunned in a brown gown which clung to her growing baby bump.

The Mr and Mrs Smith couple famously split in 2016 after a 12 year relationship and welcoming their six children.

The famous Hollywood duo had only been married for two years before they separated after Fight Club actor Pitt, 60, was accused of being drunk and aggressive during a flight from France to California.

In the fall out of their messy split – which has trundled on for years now with various legal battles – a few of the pair’s children have opted to change their names.

In May, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt filed documents to drop her famous dad’s surname shortly after she turned 18, while Vivienne also appears to have dropped her dad’s last name as she appeared on a playbill for a musical listed with just the Jolie moniker.

A source close to Brad told People that the Bullet Train actor is ‘aware and upset’ about his daughter’s decision to drop his name. 

‘He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name,’ the source told the news outlet. ‘The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.’ 

They added that while he is ‘happy’ in his budding relationship with Ines de Ramon, being distanced from his children ‘pains him’. 

Eight years on from their split, Jolie and Pitt are still locked in a legal battle over their French winery.

As part of the divorce proceedings, in October 2021, Jolie sold her half of their shared winery, known as Château Miraval, for $67million (£51million) after verbal discussions fell through.

This sale – to Russian-born billionaire Yuri Shefler’s Stoli Group – led the Moneyball actor to accuse his ex-wife of trying to ‘intentionally damage’ his reputation, and he also insisted he had first refusal on her share.

By selling to a company ultimately owned by Uri Shefler, Pitt argued the brand became linked to Russia, its homophobic laws, and the war against Ukraine, potentially tarnishing Chateau Miraval’s name.
