Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, the adopted son of Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has faced many challenges in his life and career due to his biological mother’s actions.
His birth mother, Pham Thu Dung, was a notorious drug addict in Vietnam, who abandoned him in a hospital when he was only two days old.
She also had a criminal record and was involved with a gangster, who was later killed by the police.
Pax Thien was adopted by Jolie in 2007, when he was three years old, and later by Pitt in 2008.
He grew up in a loving and supportive family, with five siblings, three of whom were also adopted from different countries. He also had the opportunity to travel the world and pursue his interests in photography, music, and fashion.
However, Pax Thien’s biological mother’s past has haunted him and affected his career prospects. In 2023, he returned to Vietnam to work as an assistant director for Jolie’s biopic “Maria”, which was filmed in Ho Chi Minh City.
There, he faced the backlash and stigma from the local media and public, who criticized him for being the son of a drug addict and a gangster’s lover.
They also questioned his loyalty and identity, as he had changed his name from Pham Quang Sang to Pax Thien, which means “peaceful sky” in Vietnamese.
Pax Thien was also confronted by his biological mother’s family, who tried to reunite with him and claim a share of his inheritance. However, Jolie prevented them from contacting him, as she feared they would exploit him and harm him emotionally.
She also wanted to protect him from the truth about his biological father, who was not the gangster, but a married man who had an affair with his mother.
