Angelina Jolie has arrived in Toronto to promote and represent a few films. People are focused on the TIFF premiere of First They Killed My Father, which comes tonight (I think), but last night, Angelina and four of her kids attended the premiere for the animated film The Breadwinner. Jolie executive produced the film about a girl, Parvana, living in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Parvana “must dress as a boy so she can work to support her mother Fattema and her sister Soraya.”
For the premiere, Angelina wore a white ensemble that looks like a pair of pajamas. I had a pair of silk pajama bottoms that looked so much like these pants, only mine were dove grey. Obviously, Angelina’s style default is general slouchy and sacky, and this ensemble fulfills that. While the pants are way too long, I still think this looks rather chic on her. I’m also happy to see that she doesn’t look painfully thin – in years past, I’ve winced a little bit sometimes when I see her in something sleeveless. She loses weight from her arms quickly, which I wish is something that my body would do. Anyway, she looks like a healthy-ish weight to me.
The kids look cute, although I think Shiloh picked out Vivienne’s outfit! Viv is usually the girly-girl in dresses and florals, but she looks like a little mini-Shiloh here. Knox looks so much like Brad, and Zahara’s the only one wearing a dress.

She looks painfully thin. I hope she doesn’t trot the kids out endlessly going forward. I dont know why that bothers me but it does!??
Yeah. Bothers me too about bringing the kids out like this; also not sure why.
She’s bringing them to a premiere of a cartoon movie..why is that wrong?tons of other celebs do it..
I feel like she’s using the kids as a buffer. She’s said and done some highly questionable things over the last few months that I think should be further addressed but she shows up glowing in white with her beautiful children and all is forgotten. We’ll see how the week goes. I’d like to see her take ownership of something, anything.
The children are part of her brand. She gets better and more positive press with the kids in tow. Since the VF article, she hasn’t been pictured at any event without her children en masse. She uses them for good PR, make no mistake. I don’t think this hurts the kids per se, but she is a shrewd media manipulator; she knows what she is doing.
@ladyt
Many here do nohing but criticize this woman, and they’ve done it on the regular for the last 12 years.
Accusing her of using her children if she appears in public with them doing anything in any capacity, so it’s kind of disingenuous to make up some new ridiculous reason for the same old complaint.
She’s an actress/director/producer/humanitarian – she’s not a drunk/high unstable addict or a shoplifter or a white nationalist President…she needs no ‘buffer.’
i know people wish she was heading off to prison like Martha Stewart or sonething, or would have some stunning downfall that would level the playing field between her and her ex, or that would make her bone structure and facial features disappear into thin air…but sorry you just haven’t hit the jackpot yet…you’ll have to keep wishin and a hopin.
Casey (or whoever)– Your “response” to me is too bizarre and fantastical to bother addressing.
She is shy and I think it was easier when she had Brad to be a buffer. In this case it is a film she produced and for children so it would seem odd if she didn’t bring them.
Taking kids to a kids film seems pretty normal to me.
As I said let’s see how the week goes. I’m hoping she will talk about the multiple problems with her VF interview and subsequent unfounded demand for retraction. I’ve seen a lot of deflection so far but no ownership. Her kids, her weight, her prior illness, her shyness etc etc are her personal business. But her very own interview and actions I do not consider off limits. So will she deflect or address? Take ownership or ignore? She’s started the week with an idyllic picture. Nothing wrong there. But let’s see what she does or does not get asked about this week.
“Casey (or whoever)”
lol LadyT…nicely done.
I don’t think she’s “shy”. This is, after all a woman who has had no problem with some pretty outrageous behaviour on the red carpet over the years.
Unsure, feeling vulnerable and yes maybe even a bit insecure about doing a red carpet alone after 12 years of being a power couple might be closer to the mark. Not easy and she probably took a very deep breath before getting out of that car, but I’m sure she’ll get her mojo back during TIFF.
@Felicia
She has said she is shy more than once.
Shy has nothing to do with acting outrageously especially since she did it when she had a drug problem.
@LadyT
I also await an explanation. We will see how it goes, but it is needed.
@Lady T
If questions are asked about the filming process, she will answer them. If they aren’t asked which means there won’t be an explanation, then I guess she should hold her head down, hide away, and never leave the house.
Jessica- I think she should be held accountable for her interview and then sending her lawyers to challenge the integrity of the journalist and VF. I said nothing remotely like “head down, hide away and never leave the house.” What??
So if she doesn’t talk about the casting game whether she’s asked or not then she isn’t being held accountable for her actions and she’s not taking ownership of anything. If she says nothing, like I said before will she be seen a fake humanitarian and person overall? Right?
The kids are there with the children who are the stars of the film, FTKMF.
These pics were from “The Breadwinner” premiere (rave reviews) which is a cartoon for kids. A cartoon with a powerful message.
Jessica- I’m afraid we’re just not communicating. She has admirably accomplished years of humanitarian work. Period. She has also said some things that were problematic and she involved lawyers to cover for her. I’d like to hear about that. I don’t see it as either/or. Both are true in my eyes.
The Breadwinner is about an 11 year-old, and FTKMF is about a war as seen through a child’s eyes. Children can absolutely see them. Angelina looked nice in white and so do the kids. Knox is so cute with his hands in his pockets.
@MagnoliaRose: Generally shy people do their very best to NOT be the center of attention in situations where they are surrounded by strangers. She may have said several times that she’s “shy” but her actions speak louder than words to my mind. This is someone who told reporters that she and BBT had just screwed in the limo and was then perfectly ok with what was basically a makeout session complete with boob groping on the red carpet in front of photographers.
I don’t know what your definition of “shy” is, but that’s pretty far off of what mine is, lol.
She looks painfully thin to me as well. I think her full bust and slouchy attire divert attention a bit. She looks lovely, but unwell. I also agree she should give her kids a break from her film PR. Noone else hauls their kids around on the red carpet the way she does. It might comfort her to have them close (and Good Mom PR is her thing these days), but does not seem in their best interests.
Agree with both of these comments. I am sure Brad had his demons and none of us are perfect but I do feel a bit sorry for him now and not sure why??? but yeah painfully thin and bringing the kids just feels a bit odd. Be done with it now and move on.
How many red carpets has she been on this year?
Why do you think you know what is best for the kids if you have never met them?
What are you talking about Louise? “Be done with it?” you say. Be done with what? Being a mom? Producing kids films that focus on humanitarian issues? Going to filmfestivals?
Why are comments so unhinged when it comes to her?! Just, wow.
It’s her arms though. Her arms and legs have always been really thin and they never seem to change even when she gains a bit of weight in her midsection.
She looks beautiful but tired/stressed out to me.
Her children are so stunning. I love seeing Shiloh–style for miles ♥
@Casey …says someone with the most unhinged comments under this post.
The two child actors are present, so why shouldn’t the JP kids be there. The little ones are friends, and both Maddox and Pax worked on the movie. Jolie bringing her kids doesn’t seem odd AT ALL. I look forward to seeing both movies!
I guess I’ll always defend AJ. I don’t see it as “trotting out the kids.” In their world, this is a normal family outing! Like, “Hey, who wants to come with me?” The kids seem happy to be there and I LOVE that each kid does their own thing. They don’t change for the cameras. For an example of trotting out the kids, see IVANKA (puke) or Leanne Rimes or Tori Spelling – truly manipulative.
I don’t think she’s hurting her children by taking them out to events. However, for her own sake, it may be beneficial to leave them at home sometimes. Her personal life tends to overshadow her work. It would be good to see her establish her own professional identity, separate from her family.
@goldie
Pretty sure Angelina’s family had zero do do with her Oscars, her SAGS, her Golden Globes, Critic’s Choice, National Board of review, Stanley Kramer Director’s Guild Award, her UN awrds/recognition, her order from the Queen, her commendation from the Pope and on and on and on….
Angelina was being ranked in World Most Admired Woman Lists w/Hillary and Oprah, and Time Most Influential lists before she even met Brad and had her subsequent kids.
So do you realize how absolutely BIZARRE and yes sexist it is to try and dis-empower her and revise the accomplished history of one of the most over achieving accomplished and powerful women out there?
I see why Hillary isn’t President of this is the way women treat other amazing women. Ugh.
I don’t see it like that either. Honestly, time will tell but so far, her kids seem pretty well-adjusted to me. They are definitely very loved, that’s for sure.
@casey wow calm down. Yes angelina’s an accomplished actress. I never said that she wasn’t. I said her personal life can sometimes overshadow her accomplishments. Recently, she has made more headlines for her personal life. Even she has talked about how she is entering a new phase in her life, and is reinventing herself. I just thought it would be refreshing if as part that new phase her work would be emphasized more. You can choose to disagree with me, but calling me sexist is laughable , when my whole point was that I want her to receive more attention for her work. Obviously it’s her choice to bring her children, it was just a suggestion. While many people accused Angelina of exploitating her children, I specifically stated that I don’t think her children are being harmed. I’m rather surprised that my fairly innocuous comment inspired such a rant.
Thanks for the concern @goldie, I’m plenty calm.
Just because someone disagrees with you and states why explicitly, that doesn’t mean you should patronize them.
You made a wild claim, that Angelina doesn’t have a “professional identity separate from her family.”
She’s pretty much the last person I’d say that about, and I told you why. If Angelina has had a professional identity separate from her family from the start and for many accomplished reasons (which you agree with!) the only way she’d have to ‘establish’ it again, is if the public at large contracted total amnesia.
It’s like that Dave Chappelle quote: “You can get famous, you can’t get unfamous.”
Do have you any complain when Beyoncé took her daughter to every awards music? This was an afternoon kids animated there were plenty of kids at the screening and for the Cambodian movie the kids spent three months in Cambodia & on set with her while she was filming.
Beyoncé only took her daughter to two award shows last year, both of which she was a performer and heavily nominated.
Yes actually. I don’t think it’s a good thing for a child to be thrust into the spotlight like that, not when their parents fame is enough to make them famous by extension.
It bothered me with Suri Cruise, it bothers me with Beyonce’s children, and it bothers me with Angelina and Brad’s. Because of how their hugely famous parents have willingly put them in the spotlight, they’re properly famous. Even people who aren’t that up on celeb gossip know their names and faces, they have their own (weird) fans, they get stories written just about them. If they ever want a properly normal life, it’s going to be hard for them. It’s not that different from being a child star, except they don’t have a character to hide behind.
You see it here often. A lot of fans think they know these children, and they invent their own little fan fictions about how they act at home, how they relate to each other, what amazing things they’ll do as adults. It’s weird to read, and they won’t be sheltered from that kind of intense projection forever.
+1 @Kate It’s bizarre to me that people think it’s normal for the general public to know this much about celebrity children. Other than the other few examples you cite, I don’t know the names or appearances of many other celeb kids. She uses those kids to sell her movies, period–Maleficent, Unbroken, and these two new ones. It’s weird all the way around, especially at a time in their lives which she herself has stated is very difficult and deserving of privacy. Other celebs appear on the red carpet by themselves to highlight their work. When is the last time she’s done that?
@tracking
“She uses those kids to sell her movies, period–Maleficent, Unbroken, and these two new ones. It’s weird all the way around, especially at a time in their lives which she herself has stated is very difficult and deserving of privacy.”
I would like proof that she is actually doing this. Name five interviews that she has given where she has gone in depth about her children. Also, why isnt a mother of 6 allowed to talk about her children?
Other celebs appear on the red carpet by themselves to highlight their work. When is the last time she’s done that?
Not even remotely true. Like Fa has said Beyonce hangs out with her daughter. Pink has done it a few times with her own daughter. Brad before the divorce hung out with his children on several red carpet. Madonna has done it with most of her kids. So has Susan Sarandon, Will Smith, Reese Witherspoon, Jlo and her cute twins, Steve Carell, Will Farell and so on and so on and so on. Are all of these people also pimping out their kids for publicity? For good PR? No, they are letting their kids see what they do for a living and having fun with them.
“It’s bizarre to me that people think it’s normal for the general public to know this much about celebrity children. Other than the other few examples you cite, I don’t know the names or appearances of many other celeb kids.”
What is also bizarre is how you are making a mountain out of nothing. Your comments are increasingly becoming more accusatory for no good reason. Now, you are saying that she is bringing out her kids to sell her movies-even though the kids don’t do any press at all and she barely takes about them unless someone asks her a question about them or she brings them up when answering a question. I am always amazed how easy it is for the bitterness to come out in some people when they post about Angelina. Angelina is a special sort of white woman. It makes me like her even more for some reason.
Also, do you realize that you are also actively invading the kids’ privacy by reading and commenting on stories about them and their mother? You may think that you are being morally superior by advocating for them on a gossip blog by pretending as if you actually care about her children, but you still take the time out of your day to comment to write a comment. Several comments in fact. Do you do it with every story.. probably not? But if you really cared about the kids’ privacy, you would not read anything about them and their mother and father at all.
Barely talks about her kids at all, seriously? Find a single interview in which she talks *only about her work* in the last ten years without diverting to her kids. I’ll wait. Even when she sat with an incredibly accomplished group of directors (where she did not belong, at least not yet) at a roundtable, she turned the discussion to her kids. I agree with those that believe this does not in fact help her professionally, especially as a fledging director trying to establish herself. I know absolutely nothing about Ava DuVernay’s personal life, do you? I also think I would not take my kids out of “school” for a full week to accompany me to a work event that in no way benefits them. This is just one of many good reasons why very few celebs of her stature bring their kids out on the red carpet as often as she does, if at all. (and, although she’s been doing it very often of late, of course Pitt did too. He only shied away from publicity with them once he was in the serious position of having to rebuild his relationship with them). And your last set of comments is just, well, strange. I’m invading the kids’ privacy by simply stating there doesn’t seem to be much interest in protecting their privacy? Well, okay, whatever you say.
I agree with Kate, I don’t like it when any celebrity does it. Taking the kids to a film? Great! Taking them down the red carpet for photos? No. My stance, with EVERY celebrity, has always been that they should strive to protect their kids’ privacy as much as possible until they are old enough to understand all that comes with being a public figure and can decide for themselves.
Also, as tracking said, these are professional work events. Why people bring their young kids to them, or to various red carpets and parties, I don’t understand.
“Barely talks about her kids at all, seriously?”
I wrote what I wrote. She never goes in depth about her children. She rarely if ever tells silly stories about her kids. She is not even on the same level as Kelly Ripa when it comes to talking about her kids. Even if she was, she is their mother and is allowed to embarass them as much as she wants. She doesn’t talk about them being in therapy or how they are coping with the divorce other than to say that they are doing well. I’ll find the interview when you find me proof proving that she is trying to sell her children for publicity and giving out more information on her children than any other parent in the spotlight.
Your Ava D comparison is a false equivalency. Ava did not start out as an actress and work her way behind the camera the way that Angelina did. A better comparison would have been her and Batfleck or Clooney. Both talk about their personal lives and their films while promoting their projects. Batfleck and Garner if have pictures of the kids while on pap strolls during awards season. George even gave an interview recently about how he proposed to Amal.
Let’s talk about that roundtable: Mike Leigh, Christopher Nolan, Bennett Miller, Morten Tyldum, Richard Linklater, and Angelina Jolie.
Mike Leigh makes small budget films so is not a good comparison. Do his films even make back what it costs to make them?
Richard Linklater- same as Mike Leigh and Bennett Miller
Morten Tyldum makes mediocre films that have lost during award season and have bombed at the box office Those films probably only got nommed because of the studio they were with and nothing more. Passengers bombed at the box office. Budget $110 million and the film only made back $100 million Unbroken was successful. $65 million dollar budget close to $180 million dollars between dvd and movie ticket sales.
Christopher Nolan has had major box office success but has not won one Oscar.
If Morten Tyldum can be sitting at that table, so can Angelina.
Your spin and deflection on why Brad is not shown with his kids anymore is cute.
Do you have as much money as Angelina? Do you have enough money to afford tutors for six kids? Do you know those kids’ schedule to know that they were pulled out of their school? You aren’t in a postion to answer any of those questions at all.
I can totally see why you don’t get my last set of points. You are too busy being judgemental of Angelina (and not Brad or JLo or Reese. Hell! Even Mariah Carey and dem babies) to see that you are being hypocritical.
@Sassanach
Blue Ivy is at Awards Show, every Fashion show, and tons of pics of her planted on Beyonce’s IG. I doubt there’s been a day when that child and many other celebrity kids are not trotted out for the paps.
She never goes in depth about her children. She rarely if ever tells silly stories about her kids.
Now chile *hands on hips*:
– Spoke about kids’ hobbies: horse riding, painting, photography
– Spoke about adjusting to the new addition to the family including photo spreads for every child they had
– Spoke about who disciplines which child
– Spoke how Shiloh wanted to be called ‘John’ etc
– Spoke about character traits of each child and gave examples for said trait
– Sold their wedding including pics of children and who did what
– Front page photoshoots in Vogue, Vanity Fair and People with the children focused on their family life.
That’s top of my head because there are too many examples of this.
About that roundtable: god bless you. As a newbie director you don’t want to be that person at a table full of accomplished MALE director who gets the floor at the very beginning and then does nothing but ramble for almost 5mins straight about anything but filmmaking. That was straight up embarrassing fan or not. Mike Leigh was not about that life and told it by straight up asking: ‘But apart from all that, are you a good director?’. And bless him, he tried to be polite about it but it was clear that nobody wants to listen to a woman babbling about the ‘spirit of her children’ when discussing a war movie depicting a man’s journey like?????? However you feel about those men and their accomplishments means nothing considering everybody was their to discuss their work which thankfully (thanks to Leigh) Jolie understood after her initial ramblings.
And just because Mike Leigh is bae to me, I refute your claims you cannot compare his work to Jolie’s. He makes films that are diverse in storytelling and are quiet in a way that will punch you in your stomach when it’s over. Another Year, Vera Drake and Secrets and Lies are better at depicting the human condition and show more diversity in vulnerability and strength than Jolie’s film ever will and he can achieve this without focusing on visual human pain so much unlike Jolie.
@Artemis
At least half of the examples you gave came from Brad, too. So people need to stop acting like she is the only one that talks about their kids and brings them to red carpets.
-Spoke about kids’ hobbies: horse riding, painting, photography ( His son’s hobbies during his promotions for WWZ. Something about Maddox being smart and liking history like him)
-Spoke about adjusting to the new addition to the family including photo spreads for every child they had (People magazine, 2008)
– Spoke about who disciplines which child (Many Different Occasions From Brad and Angie)
– Spoke how Shiloh wanted to be called ‘John’ etc (Brad on Oprah 2008)
@Aiobahn Targaryen
Mike Leigh OBE is highly regarded as a film and stage director. He’s won numerous awards and nominated for an Academy Award. He is one of my favorites for his directing style and subject matter. Secrets and Lies were great film making and acting.
Richard Linklater has made iconic movies like Slackers, Dazed and Confused and is also an award winning highly regarded director.
Bennett Miller another award winning critically acclaimed director.
Nolan big money maker, critical acclaim, and nominations may breakthrough with an award for Dunkirk.
Mortem Tyldum critical acclaim and nomination but spent much of his career in Norway.
She hasn’t been anywhere near them with her directing. Not even close. I don’t blame her for accepting, and I wouldn’t even say she shouldn’t have been there, but the other directors are prestige directors that studios like for their quality and awards. Actors rush to work with them because of that. It isn’t far fetched for someone to question her inclusion, but personally, I don’t think it is a problem, and she would have been a fool to turn it down.
And you are right on the money when you say if Mortem can be there so can she.
I can’t hate on her for discussing her children either. If given a chance I would constantly but I reign myself in. lol
@louise
She had 4 of her 6 kids that she essentially is raising herself until her alcoholic husband gets clean and becomes responsible. The oldest weren’t there.
Is there a certain number that’s fine with you? No more than 2 at a time or 3?
Most people with sense might think, hey this is something that Mommy did once again showing her kids to be responsible in the world through art, and to think about others less fortunate than themselves. A way to say let’s all celebrate the film that Mommy worked on and that you like to, that’s educational and a humanitarian film for kids.
Yet you’re acting like she’s posing as Jackie O for no reason with Zahara on a glossy mag cover, photoshopped as skin tone twinsies.
She is not raising them alone. Just because their father doesn’t parade them in front of the paps doesn’t mean they don’t spend a lot of time together.
There are things that happen outside of the public eye, you know.
Nice dig Diamondgirl, but you only need to Google Brad and kids to see Brad at several public events sans Angelina with his kids (usually sporting events, and competitions – and films too) so now that you don’t have that card to play – now what? Do you want to say Angelina forced him? Put a spell on him? That will help you absolve him of this non-existent infraction and blame her for the crime of *being seen in public at fun events with your children.*
Love the girl power in this thread. :-}
Casey, you missed my point. I wasn’t referring to public events. I was responding to the comment about her raising them alone, to say that just because there are no current pics of the children with their father, it doesn’t mean they aren’t spending private time together.
I think it’s sweet when parents bring their kids to their events like this.
@Casey
Angie’s a great Mother, she’s not leaving her kids at home with the staff. Their father is off somewhere doing whatever and not showing much interest in his children.
If Brad had joint custody, you’d see them with him, since Angie has primary custody, she prefers to keep them close to her.
@Diamond Girl
You have no idea if Brad even sees his kids. We know he saw Chris Cornell’s kids once, he hauled them out in front of paps.That was to prove what a”great guy” he was for taking out the kids of a friend that had recently hung himself. What a guy….NOT!!!!!
He does see his kids. I keep telling you she lets him see them whenever he wants to and has been gracious about it. I think it is positive about her that she didn’t go that low. She is not raising them alone. He is simply more low key about it. They would not have been allowed to leave the country without his permission. I know because last year when I took my gang overseas, I had to clear it with my husband while we were separated.
Her fans dislike him more than she does and it is weird.
Did it bother you when they trotted them out to Kung Fu Panda Premiere? Did it bother you when Brad brought Maddox and Pax to premiere of his animated film Megamind? Did it bother you when Brad brought them to the premiere of Unbroken when she was home with chicken pox?
Yes.
They always brought her kids, lots of times I mean. It’s not a new thing. If they keep bringing them to age-appropriate screenings, who cares? They’ve been in the public eye forever.
Queen of the pap stroll
Yep! By the way, I’m not judging, is curiosity….does Viv wants to be a boy too?
Angelina looks beautiful and healthy. Her children look great and so well adjusted. Angelina is doing a fabulous job raising these kids.
Angie doesn’t look “painfully thin”, she’s slender.
@ Casey or should I say Snickers, is that you?
That last pic though…
She’s wearing WHITE! Whaaaat?! Yes, the romper thing is weird, but the color looks amazing on her. Hair and face wise, she looks drop-dead gorgeous. Happy, too. Exuberant, even. Really lovely. And Shiloh looks like a carbon copy of her father.
ETA: Kaiser, I love you, but I’m a little salty that you even brought her weight up, because now that’s all this entire comment section is going to be about. Don’t smite me.
Zahara is giving me a young Iman vibe, beautiful girl.
V4Real, not that I want Zahara to be an instagram model but if there’s a makeup campaign featuring her and Riri’s faces, I would scream. So beautiful.
Yeah, Z is obviously killing the game. I didn’t even feel worthy enough to comment.
Yes! Totally young Iman. I love AJ’s outfit too. It looks chic and super comfy
Zahara is a very beautiful young lady.
She’s stunning.I think she’s going to be tall.
I LOVE her outfit! Could those kids be any cuter?! I’m always glad to see pictures of any of Brad and Angelina’s babies.
To me she looks extremelly thin. That first picture, yikes!
In what bizarre world of delusion doesn’t she look too thin???? She looks emaciated!
Emaciated??really???You have seen much then…
Well she does look thin. Talking about someone’s figure is tricky. While it is wrong to shame someone for their frame it is also not exactly right to point out that Angelina’s frame is healthy because it also twists how young girls understanding body image and beauty. Regarding kids, I don’t know if she deserves thst criticism. The family went though mayor changes and a lot of stress, it makes sense for a perant to stay by kids’ side as much as possibe at the difficult time like that. It provides safety and stability even if it means taking them on public promo tour. On the other hand that castig story for this film does raise a question whether she is willing to go an extra mile for her work even if it involves rather questionable ethical methods.
Yea she still looks crazy thin. Her arms in the first picture is scary
This is somewhat of an improvement since it is white. I will give her half a point for wearing white.
She and the kids look happy and healthy and that is all that matters. Zahara is obviously the best dressed one in the family. She looks like she is going to a dinner at a elegant restaurant and the others are dressed for a sunday brunch. Cute either way.
The Breadwinner sounds interesting. I always want to go see animated films in the theater but feel so weird being the only adult in the theater with no children. It is just an awkward experience. I watched Moana on Netflix for the exact reason I just stated and I still feel odd about it.
Speaking of TIFF Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird is getting great reviews.
https://letterboxd.com/film/lady-bird/
I love Greta Gerwig, can’t wait to see this!
She looks fab👌🏼..I don’t care for what she’s wearing but wow what a stunning woman!…She’s always been thin people…DEAL!!..She gains her weight on her face and stomach area…if you actually notice,whenever she’s covered up,people will say she’s gaining weight(hence her face a lil fuller)it’s only when she isn’t wearing as much we see these predictable comments..
She’s always been thin, and she has long and lean limbs and an apple shape, but she hasn’t always looked like this. Once upon a time she was slim, but not gaunt like she has been for almost a decade now.
Yeah, I think she looks amazing. The only thing that detracts for me are those gunners tacked onto her chest. They look so painful. *crosses arms protectively over breasts, vows to get small implants should they ever be removed for med reasons, like AJ’s*
The kids look awesome…OMG Zahara!!!!!how you’ve grown!!!!!!!
I noticed her height, too! She is stunning.
Angelina’s always been on the tiny side, but she does look a tad…bony here. I don’t want to quite say emaciated. But she just went through a painful and ugly public divorce, so I’m not going to be too hard on her. My mother went through a stage of severe weight loss after she and my father divorced because of the stress, but she bounced back after a year or two.
Those are some really handsome kids, though. Zahara’s going to be a stunner when she gets older. She carries herself with a lot of poise for a teenager.
She’s been like that waaay before the divorce.
She’s had periods where she looked like this before, but it hasn’t been her consistent look for years. This being said, there are rumors that she’s struggled with anorexia nervosa before, and frankly, I wouldn’t be shocked if she did struggle with ED given how commonplace it is in Hollywood. I’d hope that isn’t what’s going on for the sake of herself and those kids because something as stressful as a divorce could easily trigger an episode.
I have always thought she is a stress non-eater and she did have an ED but I don’t believe she does anymore just that as a stress non-eater she may sometimes go a little too far without noticing. I am a stress non-eater, and I understand. I look sickly, but my stomach and appetite get screwy. She has thin limbs regardless of weight, so they are the first to show it. My legs look like sticks then, so I can’t shade her. People have seen her eat heartily at restaurants but throw in a fast metabolism and it is hard to gain without focusing solely on it all the time and then stress hits or busy and back to the beginning.
I love seeing photo of Angie and the kids, Zahara looks like a little lady!
She’s extremely thin. People’s arms only look like that if they’re massive cardio junkies who are a little malnourished, or if they’re notably malnourished. I don’t think she hits the gym much.
I don’t know why people pretend she’s a healthy weight. It’s not a character failing to have an ED. By her own admission she doesn’t eat properly for various reasons, and remember the Japanese actor from Unbroken (naively) sharing the fact she barely touched her meals on-set? There’s clearly some issues there. I don’t think it’s helpful to anyone, including her but especially the pro-ana crowd, to pretend it’s all totally normal. Ignore it if you want, but don’t act like she doesn’t look emaciated.
This. She shouldn’t be shamed for it but the normalizing is scary.
You misunderstood the unbroken story, he said she did not eat on set because she was respected us as the actors were starving themselves for the role.
Which isn’t normal.
She’s always had an excuse like that. She struggles to eat because refugees aren’t eating. She struggled to eat during the years her mother was ill. She struggled to eat because she was so busy. Now she talks about not taking care of herself because she puts her children first.
She’s had some rough times, but not eating properly for years and years and years isn’t normal behaviour even taking that into account. Many people go through periods were their diet suffers because of what’s going on in their life, but then they make adjustments.
And the actors were starving themselves, why?
The American actors were in a slave labor camp during WWll. Maybe they restricted their diet, but the Japanese actor had no reason to.
That’s right, she was barely eating solids on the Unbroken set, it’s easy to find the evidence. She used to be at a healthy weight pre-2007, albeit still thin/lean as that is her body shape. She never regained the weight she lost after her mother died. Bear in mind that these OK-ish pictures (according to some) added weight onto her frame, in real life she must be really thin!
Also aware that no promo has been done as of yet without mentioning the children all the time or just plain trotting them out. It’s her choice but Jolie has always been bigger than her projects since dating Pitt and bringing her family all the time will only enhance that. They could have sneaked in the back door, it happened before that they skipped the ‘red carpet’ portion so it’s clearly a choice to have the children papped at this point.
Her children are beautiful though. They seem happy and reserved (about all the attention they’re getting). Shiloh is a mini-Pitt, down to the gestures oh my days! So laid-back and suave (I don’t care it’s meant to describe a man, girls/women can be suave too and this child is friggin’ suave). Knox has that same coolness too. Vivienne is truly a mommy’s girl and Zahara is beautiful but I hope she doesn’t model, she can do better and more interesting stuff than mug it for a camera and be self-indulgent without any real effort like expected from these celeb children. Nepotism isn’t cool, being a scientist, lawyer or heck a magazine editor whatever it is they want to do is way cooler than piggybacking on their parent’s fame!
+1 I remember the actor saying she doesn’t eat plus Brad saying he needed to make sure she eats. She has been frail for many years and may be an ED. That is why she and Victoria Beckham wear the baggy clothing. It can be a control issue.
I have had cancer and surgery and eat healthy and exercise. I had lost 50 pounds. I recovered. Also 2 years ago. She was looking for hotdogs a few weeks ago at Target. Not a healthy choice!
She did have an ED in the past, but she may be a person who doesn’t eat when she is stressed out on an already thin frame. But I will say she would look better like she did for Mr. and Mrs. Smith with more weight. No one should try to look like this on purpose.
Double post
Not caring enough to address how skinny she is, because you have read a hundred other stories about her weight in the past does not mean people are ignoring her weight problem.
They probably don’t care enough to get into a debate about someone’s body. Everyone knows she’s too thin including her fans.
Angelina and Brad have beautiful children, there’s no denying that. I can’t get over how much Shiloh looks like Brad, she’s totally his mini-me. Zahara has always been such a beautiful girl, I wish she wasn’t “hiding” that electric smile of hers!
I cannot deal with the cuteness overload! 😍😍😍
She looks beautiful and most importantly happy have you seen the selfies she was talking with fans . Man that woman got the
most gorgeous face on the planet.
Here check them out

She’s not wearing black, which is awesome! I do wish she’d stop bringing the kids to every event, and I think an extra ten pounds would make her arms look better and her implants more natural.
Of all the children, I find that Knox has Brad’s fashion aesthetics…
The Breadmaker sounds like a cartoon version of the Afghani 2003 film ‘Osama’. I loved that film. Am interested to see this one. I hope it’s not just a animated remake
I think the content of Osama is too mature for this to be a remake, but I do wonder about the film. I don’t really see a happy ending.
That film devastated me. The last scene I shudder thinking about.
so here i am kinda worried about her lately and thinking her health must be suffering and all this and then she steps out like THIS looking like THIS with THIS radiant smile and what does this even mean??
i mean i guess no matter what she’s the most beautiful woman alive. that FACE. just wow
Her kids are a major part of her image ongoing 16 years. She not going to stop talking about them in interviews or pap strolling. Though, I believe if the kids don’t want to do an event with her then they don’t do it. Seems the two older boys had no interest in attending the premiere.
Brad and Angelina never had a problem selling their family. I’m real curious to see how brad will promote his next film.
She still looks way to skinny and unhealthy. I don’t see weight gain at all.
The kids look so cute and seem very happy. I love Zahara’s dress on her.
I think Angelina’s whole world is her kids. Especially after divorce, i think she wants to be even more attentive to them & them to go everywhere with her. After Tiff & FTKMF press, things will quiet down & hopefully she will have more time to focus on herself & her health. This past yr obviously has been making sure her kids are ok, & i think she’s doing a good job. Hopefully things will soon be resolved between the divorce & custody & that will take a lot of stress off of her, brad & kids. Wish them the best!
I’ve also noticed Vivienne seems to have adopted Shiloh’s style recently – loose “boy” T-Shirts, baggy shorts or pants, and trainers.
I know she’s always been on the thin side but my thinking is that she actually looks better than she has done for the past couple of years. I know she’s had to deal with her health problems over the last 2 years and Im sure the stress of that would cause some weight loss, dealing with whatever was going on with Brad probably caused some more weight loss. When I think about their red carpet moments previous to the split, she has looked incredibly thin and gaunt not to mention sad. So yeah, she looks happier, she looks healthier and as much as she’s still skinny she seems to have put on some weight, heres hoping it continues.
She seems to have fuller upper arms these days? Of course, she is still very thin but compared to her last outings with Brad – when her upper arms were just skin and bones – she does look slithly bigger. Or maybe I just hope she does?
She is very thin and it’s not healthy.
I’ve lost track of the comings and goings. Needless to say I hope they’re all getting on with things as normally as possible. I thought I’d forgotten the names but I think the boy’s name is Knox? And my god, that face! Z looks amazing, she gives the impression she has it together and is going to do great things.
I have a similar body type. My arms and legs are long and rail thin. I also squat the exact same amount that I weigh… 120 lbs at 5’7. It doesn’t look like I could because the muscle just isn’t “there” in a way one would expect. But I guarantee you I can lift more than the average woman, a lot more.
All Im saying is give her a chance, what you see is not always what you think it is.
She’s trotting her kids out for publicity. Period. I have so much respect for entertainers like Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep etc who never used their young children for publicity. Ever. There are other actors entertainers who’s primary goal as parent is to allow their children to grow up out of the spotlight. Not so with Jolie.
Not for Pitt either apparently since he has brought them to multiple red carpets over the years.
Personally, I don’t want to see celeb kids in the tabloid press at all. The projection and the fanfic is disturbing and it bugs me that any celeb kid would read this stuff.
She looks vey pretty but I agree with others. She is extremely thin. The outfit is cute but her implants are far too large for her frame. The host from E Talk was waiting to speak with her as she walked into the theatre and she just blew right by him with her kids in front. It was strange! He looked at the camera as if to say what just happened? The youngest girl always appears very clingy and not happy.
Not weird. Maybe she didn’t have time to talk or knew they were going to ask the same questions about her divorce for the millionth time and she didn’t want to talk to the press. Not a big deal. She spoke about The Breadwinner at the screening. She spent a lot of time with fans (good for them), on the red carpet and after the TIFF Conversation.
There was a rush to get her into the theatre because had spent so much time signing autographs with the fans and doing a little photo wall photos. Joannie knows this if she watched the entire footage the interviewer even said that. They thought she was leaving but she went back for her kids. She was in a hurry to get in. I always wonder do people make up stuff to make certain people look bad.
As for her weight. Angelina was thin like this in Girl Interrupted and Gone. Her weight fluxed a lot in her younger years and now that she is older she has been this constant weight. I think it has a lot to do with her illness and maybe medications she is on. Plus the stress she put herself under. I thought Brad liked her this way and she seemed to gain more after she left him
Funny how everyone applauded the entire family going out together when she was still with Brad. Single women have to live up to different standards I suppose? Or just Brad’s exes? If he took them out to an ANIMATED film opening everyone would be so impressed with what a great Dad he is.
Shame on me. I’m a single mommy who also arranges her life around her babies. In fact, I moved out of the city so they could have a yard, changed jobs so I could be closer to home, and never ever go out, unless they accompany me. I should have a scarlet letter painted on my chest.
No, they didn’t actually. Lot’s of people have always had an issue with these children are trotted out for the red carpet and magazines when their parents have something to promote.
…sigh…🙄…All you have to is Google,”emaciated” & you’ll see what REALLY an emaciated person looks like!!..Is she thin,sure but she’s always been this thin…in fact I’d venture to say she’s actually gained some weight in recent months,her face look slightly fuller!Shes always had thin legs & thin arms you just have to Google people,some of you act as if she was fat & just randomly lost weight🙄
Knox looks just like Angelina. I never thought so until recent pictures. Beautiful family, mother and children. The Breadwinner looks good. I’ll read the book first.
I thought i was the only one who thought Knox was her twin. Shiloh is a mixture of both and at times resembles one or the other depending on the day. Viv has his eyes and brows plus facial expressions, but Angie’s eye color, nose and mouth. Shi also has his eyes, color and brows. One thing for sure they are gorgeous just wait until they all become adults.
Zahara is the best dressed IMO. Then again I love dresses. And although it’s a “doily” dress, since she’s young, it doesn’t age her, unlike a certain Duchess of Dolittle.
Jolie’s bio-kids decided to put on their pj’s, mountaineering and mini-discotheque outfits. In that order. What’s with that boys EXTREMELY shiny shirt? UGH
I always enjoy pics of her with the kids. They always look so relaxed and happy with their mom. I also think Angie looks healthy and if she’s looking thin (she looks how she’s always looked, imo), it’s just a period. It’s absolutely normal to lose some weight during this time. They are all still adjusting and I for one think they are doing a great job.
Dang. Some folks on this thread are really invested.
They hate and hypocrisy is disturbing. Plenty of parents bring their kids to red-carpet events. Everybody thinks it’s cute but with Angelina it’s proof that she’s an abusive, opportunistic parent. The funny thing is the Jolie-Pitt kids are probably the least photographed celebrity kids. I’ve seen more photos of the Afflecks, J-Lo, Mariah Carey, the Beckhams, and others. Not to mention all of the social media photos they post. When Jennifer Garner takes her kids to the post office she’s called a great, normal parent. Angelina takes her kids to the grocery store people yell why couldn’t they stay home. Angelina has always been thin, especially her arms. People sound stupid claiming she has an eating disorder and is emaciated. Look at people with actual health problems and you’ll see a huge difference.
Oh come on.
Jolie parades the kids for the photographers pretty often. Always has and always will. Movie premieres not so often. That Jolie brings her kids to the red carpet while (because) her movie doesn’t get good reviews is legitimate.
Garner and children do often get papped on the school run / balley run. Easy target as the photographers know when and where they are as school and balley have a certain regular timetable.
So the reviews for Jolie’s latest film are so bad she has to parade the kids over the red carpet?
Desparation.
Well, she took all 6 kids to the First They Killed My Father premiere too, and posed with them all on the red carpet, so maybe we can all stop pretending she only took them to this film because it’s for kids.
She’s using them for promotion. If she wasn’t and still wanted them there, their nannies/her assistant could take them in through a side entrance instead of doing the whole red carpet thing. There’s zero reason to have them walk the carpet with her besides PR.
they look fantastic. what a happy family!
