Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt's Son Knox, 15, Towers over Mom in Rare Public Outing, Causing Buzz about His Look

Angelina Jolie's 15-year-old son recently stepped out in a rare public appearance. Photos from their low-key outing have left netizens buzzing about the teen's striking looks and uncanny resemblance to certain family members.

Angelina Jolie recently took her 15-year-old son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, on a shopping trip to a pet store in Los Feliz, Los Angeles. The rare sighting of the 49-year-old Oscar winner and her son sparked varied reactions from netizens.

Angelina and Knox were seen exiting the pet store, bags in hand, filled with toys and treats. Knox, now towering over his mother, sported a casual ensemble of a T-shirt, black shorts, white socks, and Nike sneakers.

In contrast, Angelina opted for a more sophisticated look, wearing a black blazer and pants set over a white top, accessorized with black boots and sunglasses.

Knox, showcasing toned arms, is seen opening the car's rear to unload their store purchases, while Angelina walks past him with a serious expression.

Photos of Knox and Angelina quickly spread on social media, sparking a flurry of reactions. Many netizens highlighted Knox’s good looks, with one user saying of Knox and his twin sister, "Such a handsome young lad! Viv and him to so much alike!!"

One observant netizen remarked, "Knox is the one that definitely looks like Brad the most," while another noted, "He looks like her brother. Shiloh is the only one who really got dad's looks. Vivienne looks like Angelina's mother [sic]."

Some users drew comparisons to other family members. One user noted the resemblance between Knox and his uncle, James Haven, "He looks so much like Jolie's brother!" One fan commented the same observation, "He looks like her brother."

Another questioned, "SON!?! When...." while someone else admitted the fascinating blend of biological and adopted children in the Jolie-Pitt family, "I had no idea she had a biological son. I thought she adopted all her kids but for two she had biologically. The more you know."

Amidst the admiration and comparisons, one user pointed out, "Wow!! He looks normal," implying that despite being the child of two famous Hollywood celebrities, Knox appears to be like any other typical teenager.

The mother-son duo's recent shopping spree follows another sighting of Knox with his siblings Shiloh, Zahara, and Pax at a trendy coffee shop in Los Feliz in July 2023. During that outing, Knox wore a white shirt, black pants, and sneakers, again drawing attention for his height as he towered over Shiloh, known for her tall stature.

Despite these occasional public appearances, Knox appears uninterested in the spotlight. In 2016, Angelina shared with Entertainment Tonight that her children are not inclined to follow in her footsteps in the entertainment industry.

While promoting "Kung Fu Panda 3," Angelina mentioned that she brought Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and Knox along to provide animal noises for the film's pandas. She also noted their shy personalities. "They don't really want to be actors, but I didn't want them to miss the opportunity. They came in, and they had a lot of fun with it," Angelina explained.

While Knox embraces a life of privacy, his twin sister, Vivienne, occasionally steps into the spotlight, often seen accompanying their mother on public outings.

As reported on June 14, Vivienne and Angelina made waves at the 2024 Tony Awards not only for their play "The Outsiders" winning Best Musical but with the teen's unconventional outfit. Her choice sparked online debate about whether it strayed too far from traditional femininity.

Angelina dazzled in a light-teal velvet strapless gown with a corseted bodice and draped fabric. She accessorized minimally to highlight her elegant ensemble. Her long hair flowed freely, adding to her glamorous look.

Vivienne, on the other hand, opted for a playful and unique look. She sported a crisp white shirt under a dark teal vest and trousers, complete with a bow tie and dark blue Converse sneakers. Her hair, similar to her mother's, was left to flow down to her shoulders.

While both mother and daughter turned heads, Vivienne's outfit became a hot topic among AmoMama readers, who shared their thoughts, with opinions ranging from criticism to praise.

One reader sharply criticized, "Certainly not feminine!!" This critique set a critical tone, prompting others to join in, questioning the appropriateness of Vivienne's unconventional style.

In contrast, an observant reader noted Vivienne's seemingly loose outfit, "Love how the mom is dressed to the nines and her daughter is wearing a suite that is not flattering at all. Could u at least have made it fit properly [sic]?"

However, not all comments were negative. One defender stood up for Vivienne's right to self-expression, stating, "She wears what she feels comfortable in. Leave her alone."

Another supporter agreed, adding, "I see nothing wrong with it. At least she is covered up and not showing all she has like so many people do nowadays and I would bet she is more comfortable than her mom."

Vivienne has recently embraced a playful and unique fashion style. This was evident in May 2024 when she attended the opening night of "Reefer Madness: The Musical" in Los Angeles with her mother and actress Kristen Bell.

Vivienne wore a long-sleeved light blue shirt with a black vest, which she paired with matching black pants and Converse sneakers. Angelina complemented her daughter’s look with a chic, masculine ensemble of a white shirt, matching black suit, trousers, and sunglasses. Kristen wore an elegant dark blue gown.

Vivienne made headlines not only for her unique ensemble at the Tony Awards but also for omitting "Pitt" from her name in the Playbill for "The Outsiders" musical. This follows a trend set by her sister Zahara, who dropped "Pitt" from her name in late 2023 and joined a sorority at Spelman College announcing as "Zahara Marley Jolie."

Additionally, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who recently turned 18, has filed legal documents to legally change her surname to "Jolie" to align with her mother's name, marking a significant decision as she enters adulthood.

From Knox's casual outing to Vivienne's unconventional outfit, each public appearance by the Jolie-Pitt family continues to captivate the public, showcasing their distinctive personalities and evolving styles amidst the fascination with Hollywood's most intriguing clan.
