Angelina Jolie is once again immersing herself in the world of film, this time with a touch of family collaboration.
Angelina and her son, Pax, were spotted in the midst of a cinematic moment on the Pont Alexandre III bridge in Paris, France, on Wednesday, October 11. The iconic setting serves as a backdrop for their upcoming movie, Maria.
At 19, Pax isn't a newcomer to the film industry. He previously donned the hat of a still photographer for his mother's 2017 film First They Killed My Father.
He also ventured into the assistant director department for Angelina’s impending movie, Without Blood.

Angelina now joins the ranks of Natalie Portman, who starred in Jackie, and Kristen Stewart, who took center stage in Spencer.

She added: "To be allowed the chance to tell more of Maria’s story with Pablo, and with a script by Steven Knight, is a dream.”

In addition to Pax, Angelina co-parents Shiloh, Zahara, Maddox, Knox, and Vivienne with her former spouse, Brad Pitt.
Their romantic journey, which began with much fanfare, culminated in a divorce in 2016. Following a protracted custody dispute that spanned nearly a decade, their separation was finalized earlier this year, as per reports from In Touch.
Sharing her sentiments on parenthood with Vogue's November issue, Angelina remarked: “Having children saved me — and taught me to be in this world differently.”
She continued: “I think, recently, I would’ve gone under in a much darker way had I not wanted to live for them. They're my anchors, keeping me grounded.”
A deeper dive into Pax's story reveals an interesting history. Born November 29, 2003, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Pax became Angelina's third adopted child, following Maddox and Zahara.
Although Angelina and Brad were already in the public eye as a couple in 2007, Pax was initially adopted as a 'Jolie' due to Vietnamese regulations prohibiting unmarried couples from co-adopting. However, in 2008, Brad also adopted Pax, bringing him into the 'Jolie-Pitt' fold.
Despite his lineage, Pax has displayed an aversion to the glaring spotlight of celebrity life. He often sidesteps the media's attention, notably evading red-carpet photos during the premiere of Angelina's movie in 2020. Instead, he chose a quiet moment with his renowned family outside the theatre.
After graduating from college in 2021, Pax, in his characteristic style, opted out of the graduation ceremony, preferring to stay away from the inevitable media frenzy.
