Pax Thien: From a shy Vietnamese boy to a strong, masculine man
From a shy Vietnamese boy, Pax Thien, the adopted son of star couple Brad Pitt - Angelina Jolie, has grown up to become a manly young man who often accompanies his mother.
|
| Pax Thien (real name Nguyen Quang Sang) is a Vietnamese adopted son adopted by the star couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 2007 in Ho Chi Minh City. At the end of this year, he will turn 15 years old. After 12 years, from a Vietnamese boy suffering from malnutrition, shy, afraid of the media, Pax Thien has now grown up and become a strong, confident and masculine young man. |
|
| When he was born, Pax was severely malnourished, had skin diseases all over his body and was often sick. Angelina named her son Pax Thien, which means "peaceful sky", hoping for a better future for the Vietnamese boy. |
|
| Angelina and her son's return to the US was not smooth. Pax Thien became the target of a kidnapping and ransom of up to 100 million USD. The change in life also had a significant impact on Pax Thien's psychology. The boy had to go to the hospital for psychological treatment many times with his father Brad Pitt. |
|
| During the first years in America, Pax Thien was quite shy, often appearing shy and taciturn. He often held his parents' and siblings' hands tightly wherever he went. After about 6 months of getting used to a completely different life in America, Pax gradually adapted and appeared comfortable with his new family. He always asked his mother Angelina to hold him and sometimes acted spoiled and cried when in a crowd. |
|
| A few years later, when he was 9 or 10 years old, Pax often had negative reactions to reporters, such as getting angry, running away, and screaming when being followed and photographed too much. He was also the most hyperactive child in the family. |
|
| The couple's family revealed that their adopted Vietnamese son enjoys cooking and helping his parents. Pax Thien is also taught Vietnamese so he won't forget his mother tongue, along with other skills such as photography and painting. |
|
| Since childhood, Pax Thien has had a strong, masculine style. He often wears shorts, simple t-shirts and sneakers. |
|
| The actress shows great affection for her adopted Vietnamese son, often taking him to important events. In 2018, at the Golden Globe Awards, Pax dressed elegantly, walked the red carpet with his mother, and wore a badge supporting the #TimesUp anti-sexual harassment campaign. |
|
| The adopted son of Vietnamese origin seems to be much closer to his mother than his father Brad Pitt. Pax Thien often accompanies his mother to events. He often wears neat, luxurious and mature suits. |
|
| Pax Thien is often seen walking next to Angelina Jolie on the street, when going out to eat or shopping. Every time he appears, the Vietnamese boy shows his bravery when carrying things for his mother and helping to look after his younger siblings. |
|
| Like his brother Maddox, Pax also co-produced the film with his mother.First They Killed My Fatheras a backstage photographer. In addition, the 14-year-old boy has a special interest in music and enjoys playing DJ. His mother also encouraged him to develop his artistic abilities from a young age, creating conditions for him to participate in activities related to film, music and photography. |
|
| As he grew older, Pax became accustomed to being the center of attention and appeared calmer, more confident, and more composed when being pursued by the press. Since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their divorce, Pax Thien and Maddox have become a great source of emotional support for Angelina's mother. |
|
| Pax Thien also has a normal life like other teenagers when he often goes out with friends. When appearing with his peers, the boy appears more comfortable, closer and happier. |
|
| Recently, Angelina Jolie and her Vietnamese-American son Pax Thien were spotted on the streets of West Hollywood eating ice cream and shopping together. Pax wore an expensive Givenchy oversized T-shirt and black glasses, looking mature, strong and masculine. |
