From the son once held in Brad Pitt’s arms, Pax Thien now turns his back on his father. Many people are curious about the current life of the Vietnamese boy adopted by Angelina Jolie and her ex-husband.
The lucky Vietnamese boy was adopted by Angelina Jolie
As one of the six children of star Angelina Jolie, Pax Thien is “intensely” sought after by Hollywood media. Every move of a young man of Vietnamese origin can become a topic in the newspaper. However, before becoming famous in Hollywood, he had a very difficult childhood.
Pax was born on November 29, 2003 in Vietnam, with the Vietnamese name Pham Quang Sang. Right from birth, he was abandoned by his biological mother at the hospital and was taken to the Tam Binh Orphanage Protection Center.
Because he was born prematurely and did not receive adequate care while still in his mother’s womb, Pham Quang Sang suffered from severe malnutrition, skin diseases and many other diseases.

Not long after, Angelina completed all the procedures to adopt Quang Sang. She changed the boy’s name to “Pax Thien” which means “peaceful sky”, with the hope that her adopted son will have a better and happier life after the stormy days.
From then on, Pax’s fate changed. He entered the world of Hollywood, becoming one of the children of star Angelina Jolie. Not only does Pax Thien have a rich and desirable life, he also lives happily in the love of his beloved parents.
However, when the divorce battle between Angelina and Brad Pitt escalated, Pax suddenly became a controversial figure. He is said to be the reason why Brad Pitt was deeply hurt because he publicly sided with his mother and severely criticized his adoptive father.

Currently, the much-inked divorce between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt still shows no signs of ending. The two are currently mired in a legal battle over the Château Miraval winery in France. Most recently, Brad Pit gave up custody of his children.

Of the four older children, only biological daughter Shiloh still loves Brad Pitt and wants to heal the family. The remaining three adopted children, including Maddox, Pax Thien and Zahara, all expressed their views on their mother’s side and were cold towards their father. In particular, the person who most fiercely opposes Brad Pitt is Pax Thien.
On Father’s Day 2020, Brad Pitt should have received wishes, but instead he had to receive words that the media described as “poisonous, highly damaging” from his adopted son of Vietnamese origin. At that time, Pax posted a photo of Brad Pitt receiving an Oscar for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and wrote: “Happy Father’s Day. Time after time, you have only proven yourself to be a terrible and despicable father.” “.
Pax Thien also added that Brad Pitt turned the lives of his mother and siblings into hell, and “the truth about his bad father will come to light”.
Pax Thien’s words made Brad Pitt collapse. According to Page Six, this is the reason why the actor decided to give up custody of his children with his ex-wife.
Shiloh is said to have moved against her brother Pax Thien, siding with Brad Pitt
Although Brad Pitt cannot reconcile with his adopted son, he still receives love from his biological daughter Shiloh. According to InTouch, Shiloh plans to move in with her father when she turns 18 this coming May.
“Shiloh turns 18 in May and can make her own decisions. She is not satisfied with the way her mother and older siblings treat her father. She wants to change things.”
Shiloh’s new statement and her intention to move out to live with her father when she turns 18 is said to be a move against Pax Thien and Angelina Jolie’s other adopted children.
How is life at age 20?
After Brad Pitt gave up custody of his children, and Shiloh expressed her disapproval of the way her siblings treated her father, Pax Thien is still keeping silent. He has also not appeared before the media. The last time the Vietnamese-born man was caught was in January 2024, riding a bicycle for a walk and drinking water on the streets of Los Angeles.

18 years have passed since being adopted by Angelina Jolie, Pax Thien has now become a sturdy 20-year-old young man. Every time he appears, Pax always impresses with his masculine and strong appearance. He often wears simple, youthful clothes with dusty jeans.
After Angelina Jolie divorced Brad Pitt, and at the same time her eldest son Maddox went to study abroad in Korea, Pax became his mother’s support. His life and work largely revolve around his adoptive mother Angelina Jolie.
According to Angelina, Pax Thien and Zahara actively participated in the process of building her new fashion company, Atelier Jolie. Pax researched designs to decorate the office, while Angelina Jolie and Zahara searched for locations.
Not long ago, Pax Thien, his mother and sister were present at a photo shoot for Vogue magazine to promote the brand. Backstage, the Vietnamese guy held a camera and took his own photos. He is also the one who made the photo shoot video for Vogue magazine.
Pax stood by his mother’s side and accompanied Angelina Jolie in many tasks
In addition, Pax Thien also pursues creative work in mixed media and digital media, under the stage name Embtto. His works follow the style of abstraction, created from many media or materials.
Pax also supported his mother with many tasks on set. Since 2017, he has helped the crew capture scenes and behind-the-scenes activities on the set of First They Killed My Father. When Angelina Jolie directed the movie Without Blood, Pax Thien was assigned to be her mother’s assistant.
Then, in October 2023, Pax appeared on the set of Maria. This is the latest film project that Angelina participates in as the female lead. On set, Pax Thien also actively supported his mother.
