Celebrating her acting career and philanthropic efforts, Angelina Jolie has been a mainstay in Hollywood for many years. In addition to her notoriety, she is descended from Hollywood aristocracy and has a long family history in the entertainment business.
Angelina has received praise from all around the world for her achievements, but she also inherited a complicated web of personal struggles, cultural pressures, and family relationships.
Angelina Jolie was born in Los Angeles, California, on June 4, 1975. Her parents are the famous actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. Actor Jon Voight, her father, is renowned for his performances in iconic films such as “Coming Home” and “Midnight Cowboy.” He has won multiple Academy Awards.
Angelina was introduced to the glamour and glitz of Hollywood at a young age, along with the responsibilities and expectations that accompany being from a well-known celebrity family.
But a stormy personal journey began when her parents divorced when she was still a kid due to their volatile relationship.
With the success of her own career, Angelina Jolie rose to become a global celebrity. She won an Academy Award for her performance in “Girl, Interrupted” and starred in big movies like
“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.”
In addition to her career as an actress, she gained recognition for her humanitarian work by joining the UNHCR as a Special Envoy and then as a Goodwill Ambassador.
Her dedication to international causes like as gender equality and refugee rights has solidified her reputation as a socially conscious celebrity whose influence extends well beyond the cinema.
The legacy of Angelina Jolie is more than just her success in Hollywood; it’s a nuanced combination of personal achievements, family history, and an unwavering commitment to improving the world.
According to reports, Angelina Jolie revealed the specifics of her bequest, indicating that she intends to leave her $116 million fortune to her son Maddox, out of her six children.
Angelina Jolie has decided to give her son Maddox her whole fortune as a thank you for supporting her during her divorce from Brad Pitt. Jolie was upset that out of her six children, only one truly assisted her in obtaining a divorce.
Those who know the Jolie/Pitt family well say that Brad is angry with Jolie for treating Maddox like her “Golden Child” and maintaining the other kids out of her money.
Angelina Jolie Is Leaving Her Son Maddox With A Millionaire Jolie finally made the decision to leave Maddox her business out of loyalty, ignoring the other five children.
The informant claimed that Brad was “ready to be tied over Angie’s moves and is in an incredible rage.”It seemed like they had finally reached a divorce settlement. However, he had not anticipated this Maddox circumstance.
Jolie allegedly filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016 due to her growing dissatisfaction with his parenting style. The information was purportedly released to the public following an unfortunate incident involving Brad, Angie, and Maddox, which led to one of the family’s most contentious celebrity divorces and child custody disputes in recent memory.
Jolie said that Pitt hit Maddox during the argument. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services conducted an inquiry, but no charges were brought. Brad, who is reportedly still quite upset over the whole thing, has reportedly been particularly enraged by Angelina’s refusal to update the record, according to a family member.
The acquaintance said that Brad believes his other children are being treated unfairly and that he will not put up with it.
Angelina Jolie’s decision to leave out Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne infuriated Brad Pitt. Brad believes that giving Maddox complete control is wrong.
The insider claims that Maddox helped his mother through their divorce and that she has since appointed him CEO of her film firm.
Even though he could be her “golden boy,” Brad thinks she should be reminded of her other five children.
If this charge turns out to be accurate, Pitt and Jolie will undoubtedly have bitter arguments for years to come about the welfare of their kids.
11 Characters That Were Pregnant in Real Life, and What Their Babies Look Like Today
Participating in the filming of a series or movie is hard work since celebrities have to get into the skin of their characters to achieve an authentic interpretation. But that doesn’t mean that actors don’t have real lives behind the scenes. Sometimes, actresses decide to become mothers and already have contracts with production companies. This presents a challenge for them, because of their pregnancy, and for the filmmakers who have to decide whether to incorporate the belly into the plot or simply let the actress cover her belly.
Bright Side made a list of 11 celebrities who played during pregnancy (some of them had to hide their belly) and is revealing what these kids that made things complicated for their mothers and producers look like today.
1. Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Seinfeld
During the shooting of the third season of the popular sitcom, Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus became pregnant with her first child, Henry Hall. Baby Henry was born in July of 1992. However, the actress’s pregnancy was never really a problem for the producers of the series. The simple solution writers came up with was to put her character, Elaine, in baggy clothes and any large garments to hide her belly. Henry is currently 29 years old.
2. Claire Danes in Homeland
You probably know actress Claire Danes because of the amazing performance she delivered as the CIA agent, Carrie Mathison, in the television series, Homeland. However, what’s not often talked about is the fact that she was 8 months pregnant when she completed the filming of the second season. Her pregnancy could not be introduced in the plot due to her character, so they decided to use digital retouching to hide her belly. Her son, Cyrus, was born in December 2012, and he’s now 9 years old.
3. Ellen Pompeo in Grey’s Anatomy
During the filming of the sixth season of one of the most popular drama series ever created, Grey’s Anatomy, producers decided to hide Ellen Pompeo’s pregnancy from the cameras. This was done because, for the writers, this was not the right time for her character, Dr. Meredith, to have a baby, and they wanted to keep that for a later moment. In September 2009, Stella Luna, now 12 years old, was born.
4. Zooey Deschanel in New Girl
Zooey Deschanel was 7 months pregnant when season 5 of the hit series, New Girl,was shot. As you probably remember, the actress had to be momentarily replaced by Megan Fox since producers were only able to hide her belly for no more than a few episodes. Deschanel also had to stay off the series until she returned from postpartum rest. Zooey gave birth to her daughter, Elsie, in August 2015, and today the little girl is 5 years old.
5. Holly Marie Combs in Charmed
Holly Marie Combs, who plays Piper, one of the main characters of the series, Charmed, announced during the shooting of the sixth season that she was pregnant. The producers thought it was better to hide her pregnancy at first. However, after a while, they decided that it was better for her character to actually have a child in the story as well. Apparently, Piper’s pregnancy was planned before the actress knew she was expecting a baby, so that came in handy. Combs gave birth to her first child, Finley Arthur, in 2004, and he’s now 17 years old.
6. Amaia Salamanca in Velvet
Amaia Salamanca’s pregnancy was well-planned when she rejoined the set of Velvet, a show about the compelling Spanish story of a fashion house in Madrid in the late ’50s. Because of this, production had no choice but to make Barbara, her character, pregnant as well. At the age of 28, she gave birth to her first child, a girl named Olivia Varo, in April 2014.
7. Kerry Washington in Scandal
Kerry Washington’s pregnancy happened right in the middle of the shooting of the series, Scandal, in which she played the main character. This unforeseen event forced producers to reduce the number of episodes to hide the actress’s pregnancy that couldn’t fit the schedule of the series. Currently, her daughter, Isabelle, is 7 years old.
8. Kristen Bell in House of Lies
The star of the House of Lies TV series, Kristen Bell, was about 6 months pregnant with her first daughter when the second season of the show was about to be shot. In order to actually film some episodes, the producers had to hire a body double for the scenes in which Bell would have had to show her belly. Her first daughter, Lincoln Bell, is now 8 years old.
9. Cobie Smulders in How I Met Your Mother
Actress Cobie Smulders brought her character, Robin, to millions of small screens thanks to the sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. After fellow actress Alyson Hannigan told the show-runners that she was pregnant, Cobie Smulders discovered that she was also pregnant and told the producers who had to camouflage both of their pregnancies. To disguise Smulders’ belly, producers asked the costume designers to use garments and objects that could hide her abdomen, and they had the character remain seated for most of the scenes that she appeared in. In May 2009, the actress gave birth to her daughter, Shaelyn.
10. Madonna in Evita
Madonna, also known as the Queen of Pop, made the controversial 1996 film in which she played the wife of Argentinian dictator Juan Domingo Perón, Eva Perón. However, Madonna was pregnant with her daughter, Lourdes Leon, back then. It was because of this that the crew of Evita cleverly used costumes and camera shots so that it was not noticeable that Madonna was pregnant with her eldest daughter who is now 24 years old.
11. Lisa Kudrow in Friends
When Lisa Kudrow played Phoebe Buffay on one of the most famous sitcoms, Friends, she became pregnant. This was right about when they started filming the fourth season. The producers decided to include her pregnancy in the story by having Phoebe lend her womb to her brother to conceive triplets because he and his wife couldn’t have kids on their own. Today, her only son, Julian, is 23 years old.
