Knox Jolie-Pitt, now 16, has become the center of attention as fans and media watch him grow into a young man.
From selling dog treats with his family to stepping into the spotlight, his transformation over the years has sparked plenty of discussions. People can’t help but wonder: which parent does he resemble more?
The journey started back in 2008 when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed their twin children, Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt. Their birth was a huge event, attracting endless media attention.
Knox, who weighed 5.03 pounds, and his sister Vivienne, who weighed 5 pounds, were born at the Foundation Lenval Hospital in Nice, France. Dr. Michel Sussmann, the doctor who helped with the delivery, shared that everything went perfectly, saying, “Angelina is in very good spirits.
Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there, and all was well.”
One of the first times Knox was seen in public was in 2009 when he was photographed with his dad in Japan. His parents, Brad and Angelina, also made headlines by selling the exclusive photos of their twins for a record-breaking $14 million!
This money wasn’t for personal gain though. The couple donated the entire sum to a children’s charity. This act showed just how much they cared about giving back to those in need.
Angelina shared how surprised they were by the birth of twins. “We weren’t expecting twins. So it did shock us, and we jumped to six [children] quickly. But we like a challenge,” she said.
Despite the surprise, their older children were thrilled. Shiloh and Zahara, in particular, were excited to help with the twins. “Shiloh and Z pick out their clothes and help change and hold them.
It’s sweet—they are little mommies,” Angelina said, highlighting how caring the older siblings were.
Knox was often spotted with his family, and by 2011, at just 3 years old, he was already showing off his long, dirty blonde hair. He looked just like his father, Brad. As Knox grew older, his resemblance to Brad became even more noticeable.
In 2013, at the age of 5, Knox appeared in public with his mom in New York, sporting a red and white jacket. His features were starting to mirror those of his famous parents.
The names of the twins also sparked public interest. Knox’s name is quite unique, and it comes from a rare Scottish, English, and Irish surname, which was inspired by Brad’s grandfather’s middle name.
Brad’s side of the family was a big influence on the choice. As for Vivienne, her name is deeply tied to her French heritage and means “life” and “alive.”
Her middle name, Marcheline, honors Angelina’s late mother, a tribute to the strong bond they shared.
By the time Knox was 6, his resemblance to Brad was undeniable. “Knox is a lot like Brad, emotionally and physically,” said Angelina. Despite his clear physical similarity to Brad, Knox’s close bond with his mother was also obvious.
They were often seen together, and it was clear that their relationship was strong. In 2014, for example, Knox was seen holding his mother’s hand as they arrived at Japan’s Haneda Airport, and he was also especially close to his big sister, Zahara.
Fast forward to 2016, and Angelina was working on “Kung Fu Panda 3,” where Knox and some of his siblings even contributed their voices to the film. It was a fun experience for the kids, even though they were initially shy.
“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,” Angelina shared.
That same year, however, Angelina and Brad’s marriage ended. Angelina filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. She requested physical custody of the children, and Brad was granted visitation rights.
Angelina wanted to protect her children’s well-being and requested privacy for the family during this difficult time. Brad also expressed his sadness, saying his priority was the well-being of his kids, and he too asked for privacy.
By 2019, 11-year-old Knox was blossoming into a happy young boy. He was seen with his family at the premiere of “Dumbo,” and he bore a striking resemblance to his older sister Shiloh.
Later that year, the Jolie-Pitt family was photographed at a dog park, where Knox and his siblings were selling organic dog treats to raise money for charity. The treats were made by the kids themselves, showing a grounded side to the famous family.
“I’m not sure why God chose me to tell this story but I have to fulfill my calling: A couple [of] months ago I went to the dog park and saw Angelina Jolie selling organic dog treats,” actress Sarah Ramos tweeted. The treats were sold to support the “Hope for Paws” charity.
In 2021, Knox had already grown tall and was as tall as his older brother, Maddox. He looked grown-up at the film premiere he attended that year, sporting a stylish all-black outfit and a more refined shorter hairstyle.
That same year, Angelina talked about her approach to parenting. She said, “They’re pretty great people and because there’s so many of them, I think they’ve had a very significant effect on each other.”
She emphasized how each of her children, including Knox, had developed their own identities and how she supported their growth. “I have six very individual human beings in my home. I am so excited about all the different stages and feelings and curiosities that they go through. Why wouldn’t you be?” she added.
By 2023, Knox had grown even taller, often towering over his family members. At the age of 16, his transformation was complete, and his features were unmistakably a mix of both his parents.
People on social media couldn’t stop talking about how much he resembled his father Brad, with some even calling him a “Brad clone.” Others pointed out that Knox looked just like his mother or even her brother, James Haven.
On a recent outing with his mom in 2024, Knox’s height was especially noticeable. He was seen with Angelina during a shopping trip in Los Feliz, Los Angeles.
While Angelina was effortlessly chic in a white top and black jacket, Knox kept it casual with a gray T-shirt and shorts. His look sparked debate online, with some fans commenting, “He looks like his father,” and others saying, “He looks just like her brother!”
A few weeks later, Angelina took Knox to the prestigious Governors Awards. Fans online continued to share their thoughts, with some praising his good looks, while others pointed out his striking similarities to both his parents.
“He is growing up to be a handsome young man,” one person wrote, while another commented, “Knox looks like his mom.”
Just days after the awards, Knox was spotted again in Los Angeles with his twin sister, Vivienne. They were running errands, with Knox sporting a shaved head and Vivienne dressed casually in a blue sweater and jeans.
As they continue to grow, it’s clear that Knox and Vivienne are maturing into young adults, with their resemblance to their famous parents becoming even more evident.
