Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt, Angelina Jolie’s twins, celebrated their 16th birthday on July 12. The milestone occasion likely saw them in the company of their older siblings, Maddox, Zahara, Pax, and Shiloh. Despite sharing the same birthday, the lives of Vivienne and Knox are quite different, with Vivienne frequently appearing in the public eye more than her brother.
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt has made several notable public appearances with her mother. Earlier this year, she accompanied Angelina Jolie to the Tony Awards, where Jolie was involved in producing a musical version of “The Outsiders,” which won four out of eleven awards. At the event, Vivienne coordinated with her mom by wearing a green bow tie and waistcoat, matching Angelina’s sweeping green gown. The mother-daughter duo was inseparable, holding hands on the red carpet.
This wasn’t Vivienne’s first time in the spotlight. At just five years old, she played the younger version of Elle Fanning’s character Aurora in “Maleficent.” Angelina shared the unique reason for her daughter’s casting, explaining, “We think it’s fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That’s not our goal. The other three- and four-year-old [performers] wouldn’t come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn’t afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.”
Knox Jolie-Pitt, in contrast, keeps a lower profile but has also had his moments working alongside his mother. He lent his voice to the character of Ku Ku in “Kung Fu Panda 3,” starring opposite Angelina, who voices Tigress. Knox’s involvement in the film industry extends to attending high-profile premieres, such as those for “Eternals” and “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” alongside his siblings.
While Vivienne and Knox share a love for the arts, their paths reflect their unique personalities and interests. As they continue to grow, their distinct journeys in the public eye showcase the diverse talents and passions within the Jolie-Pitt family.
