In a recent interview legendary actor Jon Voight, 85, gave a rare glimpse into his Beverly Hills home, where he has resided for two decades.
As Jon prepares to move, the actor's personal space reveals poignant nods to his family history, particularly his relationship with his daughter, Angelina Jolie, and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
The interview, conducted by Variety, highlighted Jon's home decor, which includes prominently displayed photos of Angelina and Brad.
Among the treasured images is a 2008 People magazine cover featuring the former couple.
These snapshots, seemingly clipped from magazines, trace the periods when Jon and Angelina were estranged, suggesting a deep, yet complicated, connection to his daughter's life and career.
Jon's living room also showcases framed pictures of iconic figures such as Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., and various Indian yogis, reflecting his eclectic taste and spiritual inclinations.

Despite these ideological clashes, Jon's love for his daughter remains unwavering. "I love my daughter — that’s No. 1. I am happy when Angie is happy. When she’s having a tough time, I’m having a tough time. When she is down, I’m down," he expressed, highlighting the depth of his paternal concern.
However, the interview wasn't without its contentious moments. Jon, known for his candid nature, did not shy away from expressing critical views, at one point referring to Jolie as "ignorant," a remark that underscores the complexity of their relationship.

Marcheline, who passed away from cancer in 2007 at the age of 56, was a significant figure in Angelina’s life, and her loss was deeply felt by the entire family.
Angelina's own family life has been widely publicized, particularly her high-profile relationship and subsequent split from Brad.
