Angelina Jolie’s Son Knox Looks So Grown Up in Rare Red-Carpet Appearance
Angelina Jolie, 49, and son Knox, 16, stepped out for a special occasion in L.A. on Sunday.
Knox, whose father is Brad Pitt, looked so grown up as he marked his first appearance on the red carpet since 2021!
Mother and son were dressed to the nines for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 15th Annual Governors Awards, with Jolie stunning in a floor-length gold gown and jewels and Knox all smiles in a black tuxedo.
Angelina and Brad are the parents of six children, including Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and Knox and his twin sister Vivienne.
In September, Jolie opened up about her children at the premiere of "Maria" at the 62nd Annual New York Film Festival at Film and Lincoln Center.
The 49-year-old superstar told “Extra" of her children's support during the journey of making the movie, saying, "It’s meant everything."
"You know, before you get out in these things, you're as nervous," she said. "They just said, 'No matter what, Mom, good luck and we know how hard you work and we love you.' You know, you just have that moment where the people who are with you tell you, succeed or fail, they care about you."
Because of that safety net, she confided, "We all just, you know, said we're gonna have a good time tonight.”
Angelina had a lot to be nervous about going into "Maria," in which she plays Maria Callas, the opera singer lauded as one of the greatest, most enigmatic talents of the 20th century. Making matters scarier, Jolie was doing her own singing, mixed with Callas' voice.
She shared, “My boys were with me on set, and they were in the AD department, the photography department. So, it was kind of an amazing thing to have, you know, they don't always... to see you work in this way because it was such a deeply emotional film that I didn't catch it at first... They saw me learn how to sing, they saw me practice, they saw me nervous. They were there the first time I had to do it and I was terrified, and they were there when I broke down crying… So, it was an interesting time for us to kind of get closer in a different way."

Jolie also laughed that knew when she got better at singing because of her kids! “In the beginning, it was more like they were proud of me for trying so hard. It wasn’t that, 'We like your voice,' it was, 'Good for you!' We're proud of you, Mom. We know how hard you're working."
She continued, "Then there was a time when they started to say, 'You know actually, you're kind of doing it, Mom!' So they were with me through the times when I was singing loudly in the house and everyone was probably in their rooms thinking, 'Oh, my God.' It's like learning the violin at home."
"Maria," directed by Pablo Larraín, will be in select theaters November 27 and stream on Netflix December 11.
