In 2008, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt gave birth to their twins, Knox and Vivienne. The teenager has grown up right before our eyes, with astonishing pictures capturing how much Knox Jolie-Pitt has changed over the years.
This includes what he looks like now, all grown up. The teenager’s recent appearance lead to divided opinions among social media users. Candid images show why some people believed he was “Brad’s clone.” However, others thought Knox Jolie-Pitt surprisingly looked like another family member.
Knox Jolie-Pitt: 6 Months – 3 Years Old
In July 2008, Brad and Angelina welcomed their kids, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. The twins were born at the Foundation Lenval Hospital in Nice, France, and received much attention from the media and public.
As the person who oversaw the delivery, Dr. Michel Sussmann confirmed the happy news. “The babies are doing well. The operation went just perfectly. Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well,” he stated.
While Knox was born weighing 5.03 pounds while his twin sister weighed 5 pounds. One of his earliest public outings came a few months after his birth when he was spotted in Japan with his father in 2009.
Shortly after Knox and his twin sister’ was born, the Jolie-Pitt family made headlines again with a remarkable decision. The couple sold exclusive photos of their newborn twins. They sold them for a whopping $14 million.
At the time, this was a record-breaking amount. A person in the negotiations revealed that People magazine and a British tabloid were granted joint rights to publish these sought-after images.
This amount of money was more than double the money People magazine had previously paid for the exclusive photos of Jennifer Lopez’s twins. It was reported that a desire for profit did not drive the couple’s decision to sell these photos. Instead, Brad and Angelina donated the entire $14 million to a children’s foundation.
Knox Jolie-Pitt: 8 Years Old
Angelina returned to the big screen in 2016. The actress reprised her role as the fierce Tigress in the beloved animated film, “Kung Fu Panda 3.” This time, however, the project held a special significance as it became a family affair.
According to a source, Knox and some of his siblings would be joining their mother in the film. “They have some lines in the film,” Angelina’s representative confirmed.
During an interview, Angelina elaborated on the unique experience of working with her children. She explained that she had brought her children to work with her one day, which led to Knox and his siblings providing animal noises for some of the pandas in the animated film.
“They were kind of shy,” Angelina recalled. “They don’t really want to be actors, but I didn’t want them to miss the opportunity. They came in, and they had a lot of fun with it,” the actress continued.
Knox Jolie-Pitt: 11 Years Old
In 2019 when Knox turned 11, he was still an adorable young boy. In March of that year, he attended the premiere of “Dumbo” with his mother and siblings and looked like a spitting image of his older sister, Shiloh, as they both smiled for the camera.
After that, in November, Angelina and several of her children were spotted engaging in a heartwarming activity. The actress was photographed at a dog park with her twins and Shiloh selling organic dog treats. Former “Parenthood” actress Sarah Ramos captured the unexpected sighting and later shared the moment on Twitter.
Knox and his family could be seen sitting behind a table. It had small paper bags and a simple white sign with a heart drawn on it. The scene was charming and wholesome, capturing the family’s down-to-earth side.
“I’m not sure why God chose me to tell this story but I have to fulfill my calling: A couple months ago I went to the dog park and saw Angelina Jolie selling organic dog treats (sic),” the “Parenthood” actress tweeted. “The kids wanted to support Hope for Paws and they made the treats themselves,” a source later revealed.
Knox Jolie-Pitt: 13 Years Old
When he was 13, Knox was a growing teenager and was already as tall as his older brother. In October, he sweetly smiled for cameras while attending a film premiere in England. He looked dashing in an all-black ensemble and ditched the cute long locks he rocked during his younger years for a shorter trim.
Knox Jolie-Pitt: 15 – 16 Years Old
In 2023 when Knox was 15, he was often spotted out and about with his family members. It was evident the teenager had experienced a growth spurt, as he often towered over his mother and siblings.
In 2024, Knox’s twin sister started to serve as the assistant to the producer for the Broadway musical “The Outsiders.” This was a production her mother was closely involved with.
The opportunity marked a significant step in Vivienne’s budding career. However, it wasn’t just her professional pursuits that captured public attention. The playbill for “The Outsiders” listed her as Vivienne Jolie. It notably omitted her father’s surname.
This decision did not go unnoticed. It was said that Brad and Angelina’s highly publicized divorce has played a pivotal role in the family’s dynamics. After filing for divorce, Angelina also cited allegations of assault.
The alleged incident happened during a private jet flight from France to Los Angeles. This added to the complexities of their separation. Brad denied these allegations. However, he and his ex-wife’s legal struggles seemingly strained his relationship with their six children.
In July 2024, Angelina was seen enjoying a public outing with Knox, treating the teenager to a shopping spree at a pet store. The mother-son duo was photographed in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz.
Angelina looked as elegant as ever. The actress opted for a low-cut white top, which she paired with a chic black jacket and matching pants. Knox chose a casual outfit for the outing. He wore a grey T-shirt and shorts, complemented by a pair of Nike high tops.
Recently, Knox’s outing sparked much debate online, as many social media users had different opinions about who the teenager looked like. “He looks like her brother,” one person commented. Another shared the same sentiment, writing in part, “She looks fabulous and Knox looks just like her brother.”
Meanwhile, others believed that Knox was his father’s mini-me. “Good looking young man. So like his father. I hope he stays in contact with him,” one person shared. Another typed, “Wow, he’s a Brad clone.”
Other internet users praised Knox for his looks. “He is growing up to be a handsome young man,” one person wrote. “Gosh he has gotten so tall,” another person commented in part. “Knox is all grown up! Where did time go?” another user typed.
