17 May, 2025

Ever wondered what it’s like to grow up in the spotlight, not by choice, but by circumstance? Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt's life is a testament to an extraordinary journey, from a Vietnamese orphanage to the dazzling world of Hollywood. The adopted son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Pax's story is one of transformation, resilience, and finding his own identity amidst the glitz and glamour.

Born Pham Quang Sang on November 29, 2003, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Pax's early life was spent in an orphanage just outside the bustling city. The year 2007 marked a pivotal point; Angelina Jolie initiated the adoption process, bringing three-year-old Pax into her family. A year later, in 2008, Brad Pitt legally adopted him, solidifying his place in one of the world's most talked-about families. The name "Pax Thien" itself is a beautiful blend of cultures, with "Pax" meaning peace in Latin and "Thien" signifying sky in Vietnamese, creating the poetic meaning of "peaceful sky."
