All about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Pax makes a rare appearance at the Sundance Film Festival | English Movie News
Pax Jolie-Pitt doesn’t show up in public much, so when he popped up at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, it definitely got people talking. The 22-year-old son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was spotted in Park City, Utah, hanging out with filmmakers and producers, including Garrett Patten and Fernando Ferro, at a screening for ‘Self Custody’. He looked relaxed in a red flannel and black tee, chatting easily with folks like Garrett Patten and Fernando Ferro. It’s not every day you see a Jolie-Pitt kid out in the wild, which left plenty of fans wondering: Is Pax about to step into the film world, just not on camera?
Who is Pax Jolie-Pitt?
For the unversed, Pax was born in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, back in 2003. He spent his early years at the Tam Binh Orphanage before Angelina adopted him in 2007, with Brad joining as his legal dad a year later in 2008. With that move, Pax’s childhood took a sharp turn into the world of Hollywood.Growing up, Pax shared the spotlight with his siblings Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox. But he has always kept things pretty low-key. Sure, he showed up at red carpets once in a while, but mostly he’s steered clear of the family’s usual media appearances.Unlike Maddox, who made headlines for studying biochemistry in South Korea, Pax has kept his own path private. So far, we know that he finished high school in LA and he’s pitched in on creative stuff with his family, but he doesn’t broadcast his moves.Pax is no stranger to film sets, though. He did a voice cameo in ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’ with his mom and helped out as a still photographer and assistant on movies like ‘First They Killed My Father’ and Angelina’s ‘Without Blood’. It’s no surprise that creative interests run deep — apparently, Pax enjoys music and DJing too.
What’s next for Pax?
So, what’s up with his Sundance appearance? It doesn’t look like Pax is chasing an acting career, but word around the industry is he’s curious about producing and developing films. As reported by National Enquirer, he’s already talking to insiders about movie projects, which lines up with what Angelina’s said during the 2025 Santa Barbara Film Festival (per People): “None of them are dying to be on screen, they’re not interested.“
