Angelina Jolie Reveals Son Maddox Has Followed in Her Footsteps by Becoming a Trained Pilot


Maddox Jolie-Pitt, the 23-year-old son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is following in his mother’s footsteps to become a pilot. “I am a pilot,” Jolie, 49, told Jimmy Fallon on the Dec. 5 episode of The Tonight Show. “And my son Maddox is training to be a pilot too. He, actually, he is a pilot now.”

Jolie kept Maddox close while in the air, too: Her tail number contained the letters “MX” in honor of her son. A source told PEOPLE at the time that she was a “completely competent, confident flyer,” and noted that Jolie bonded with other female flyers-to-be at the local hangar. As for the rest of her family, Jolie — who also shares Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, Knox, 16, and Vivienne, 16, with Pitt — gave some insight into her children’s attitudes in regards to one day working in the entertainment industry.
