Fans were shocked after seeing recent images of a 15-year-old Knox Jolie-Pitt, who bears a striking resemblance to his father, leaving many doing a double take.
Captured in photos with Angelina Jolie, people wondered if the young man pictured is Brad Pitt in an age reversal sequence, like his character in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Born into Hollywood aristocracy, Knox – the fraternal twin brother to Vivienne – is one of three biological children blessed with the genes of Brad Pitt, 60, and Angelina Jolie.
Now, the handsome teenager shares the same sassy smirk as Pitt and the chiseled cheeks of both parents, leaving fans debating the parent he resembles the most. Keep reading to learn more about Knox.
Although Angelina Jolie, 49, and Brad Pitt separated eight years ago, the couple – who are still battling finances in a complicated divorce – are incredibly proud parents to a brood of six.
Before Pitt – married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005 – met Jolie on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), the latter adopted a son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt (22), from Cambodia, and a daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt (19), from Ethiopia.
“…Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love,” the Maleficent star told the New York Times of her children watching the movie she starred with their father in 2005.
In 2006, the former Hollywood power couple had their first biological daughter, Shiloh, the 18-year-old who in May 2024 filed to have her dad’s name removed from her surname.
In 2007, Pax Thien (20) was adopted as a three-year-old from Vietnam and the next year, Pitt and Jolie welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne (15). While married to Jolie, the Oceans 11 star adopted the other children and loved them as his own.
Speaking of a three-year-old Knox in 2011, the Tomb Raider star told People, “Knox is a lot like Brad, emotionally and physically.”

And while Vivienne and Zahara also dropped Pitt from their surnames Knox – the spitting image of his father – is the only biological child of “Brangelina” who didn’t deleted Pitt’s name from his own.
Dog treats for charity
Over the years, Knox, who voiced Ku Ku in Kung Fu Panda 3, has continually mirrored his father’s handsome looks.
In 2019, the Oscar-winning actor was spotted with Shiloh (then 12) and 10-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox selling organic dog treats in the park.
The group is seen sitting at a table with small paper bags and a small white sign in front with a heart on it.

Sarah Ramos, who starred in the TV series Parenthood, said it was her “calling” to share the images of the family on social media.
“I’m not sure why God chose me to tell this story, but I have to fulfill my calling: a couple months ago I went to the dog park and saw Angelina Jolie selling organic dog treats,” she writes.
Encouraging fans to support the family’s cause, she adds that money made from the treats supported Hope for Paws, a non-profit rescue organization based in Los Angeles, California. “Donate today to make Angie happy!”
An anonymous source tells People, “The kids wanted to support Hope for Paws and they made the treats themselves.”
