Fans were taken aback upon seeing the latest photos of 15-year-old Knox Jolie-Pitt, who strikingly resembles his father, prompting many to do a double take.
Spotted in pictures with Angelina Jolie, onlookers speculated whether the young man in the images is actually Brad Pitt in a reverse aging scenario, reminiscent of his role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Born into a family of Hollywood elites, Knox – the fraternal twin of Vivienne – is one of three biological children fortunate enough to inherit the genes of Brad Pitt, 60, and Angelina Jolie.
Now, this charming teenager showcases the same cheeky grin as Pitt and the sculpted features of both parents, sparking discussions among fans about which parent he resembles more. Keep reading to discover more about Knox.
Even though Angelina Jolie, 49, and Brad Pitt parted ways eight years ago, the duo – who are still entangled in a complex divorce over financial matters – remain incredibly proud parents to their six children.
Before Pitt – who was married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005 – crossed paths with Jolie on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), Jolie had already adopted a son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt (22), from Cambodia, and a daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt (19), from Ethiopia.
“…Not many people get to see a film where their parents fell in love,” the Maleficent actress shared with the New York Times regarding her children watching the movie she starred in alongside their father in 2005.
In 2006, the former Hollywood power couple welcomed their first biological daughter, Shiloh, the 18-year-old who, in May 2024, filed to have her father’s name removed from her last name.
In 2007, Pax Thien (20) was adopted at the age of three from Vietnam, and the following year, Pitt and Jolie celebrated the arrival of twins Knox and Vivienne (15). While married to Jolie, the Oceans 11 actor embraced the other children and treated them as his own.
Reflecting on a three-year-old Knox in 2011, the Tomb Raider actress remarked to People, “Knox is very much like Brad, both emotionally and physically.”
While Vivienne and Zahara have chosen to remove Pitt from their last names, Knox – who looks just like his father – is the only biological child of “Brangelina” that has not dropped Pitt’s name from his own.
Dog treats for charity
Throughout the years, Knox, who lent his voice to Ku Ku in Kung Fu Panda 3, has consistently reflected his father’s striking features.
In 2019, the Oscar-winning actor was seen with Shiloh (then 12) and 10-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, selling organic dog treats at the park.
The group was captured sitting at a table with small paper bags and a little white sign in front featuring a heart.
Sarah Ramos, known for her role in the TV series Parenthood, expressed that it was her “calling” to share the family’s photos on social media.
“I’m not entirely sure why God selected me to share this story, but I feel compelled to follow my calling: a few months back, I visited the dog park and spotted Angelina Jolie selling organic dog treats,” she shares.
She encourages her fans to back the family’s initiative, noting that the proceeds from the treats benefit Hope for Paws, a non-profit rescue organization located in Los Angeles, California. “Donate today to bring a smile to Angie’s face!”
A source who wishes to remain anonymous told People, “The kids were eager to support Hope for Paws and they made the treats on their own.”
Knox has grown up
In July 2024, Knox and his mother were spotted leaving a pet store, with several bags filled with dog toys and other treats overflowing from the edges.
The charming young Knox – who is now taller than his stylish mom – was dressed in a T-shirt paired with black athletic shorts, white socks, and Nike high-top sneakers.
Fans are split on which parent Knox resembles more.
One netizen comments, “Knox is such a handsome and tall young man! I believe he takes after his mom!!” while another adds, “Knox bears a strong resemblance to Brad.”
One internet user expressed their thoughts by saying, “OMG! Their son is stunning! What a blend of both parents!” Meanwhile, another user found a middle ground, commenting, “Knox resembles Angelina’s brother.”
On the same day that Jolie was seen shopping with Knox, Pitt was captured at the British Grand Prix alongside his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon.
