Angelina Jolie’s Rarely Seen Son Knox Looks Like a Young Brad Pitt as He Towers Over Her at the 2024 Governors Awards
Angelina Jolie looked every bit the proud mother as she beamed with her son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, at the Governors Awards on Sunday.
The Oscar-winning actress, 48, and her handsome 16-year-old son – who she shares with ex Brad Pitt – took over the red carpet at the Ray Dolby Ballroom and effortlessly turned heads with their striking style.
Jolie dazzled in a shimmering gold-and-silver sleeveless dress that oozed Hollywood glamour, while oversized diamond earrings and a matching necklace added the perfect touch of sparkle.
Her newly lightened locks were pulled into a chic bun and she shared a relaxed smile with Knox, who looked dashing in a tuxedo.
As the duo posed for photos, Knox, who towered over his mother and bore a striking resemblance to his matinee idol father, made a memorable grand entrance.
Noticeably absent were his siblings – Maddox (22), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (17) and twins Vivienne and Knox – making it a rare mother-son moment at the star-studded event.

The pair mingled with a who’s who of Hollywood, including Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman and Elizabeth Olsen, among many others.
The event, organized by the film academy’s board of directors, honors the late Quincy Jones, James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, filmmaker Richard Curtis and casting director Juliet Taylor.
Angelina’s appearance comes as the actress continues to promote her latest film Maria, a biopic about opera legend Maria Callas, which is already generating a lot of Oscar buzz.
Maria, which depicts Callas during her final downturn in Paris in the 1970s, was helmed by Jackie director Pablo Larrain.
Fans have called for the actress to get an Oscar with one writing: ‘Holy s**t, I can’t wait to see this movie!!! Seriously, I know I will be blown away by Angelina Jolie’s performance as Maria. The Oscar comes for her.’
Another implored the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science to “give Angelina the Oscar already for her performance as Maria Callas.”
A third, who admitted they hadn’t even seen the trailer, joked that they were already planning to “run the Angelina Jolie Oscar campaign.”
‘The Maria trailer is so beautiful. I’ve seen enough, give Angelina Jolie the Oscar already,” a fourth tweeted.

Maria, according to a synopsis, “follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye.”
The film aims to “relive the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life.”
She died in Paris in 1977 of a heart attack at the age of 53.
The highly anticipated film will hit theaters in November and stream on Netflix in December.
Netflix will release the film in US theaters on November 27 before debuting on the streaming platform on December 11.
The mother-of-six previously won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Lisa Rowe, a diagnosed sociopath, in the 1999 psychological thriller Girl, Interrupted.
In 2008, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Christine Collins in the mystery crime drama Changeling.
However, she lost to French actress Marion Cotillard, who won for her leading role in La Vie en Rose.

The EGOT is one of the most prestigious clubs in all of American showbiz and there are dozens of stars who are just one award away from achieving the prestigious title.
The acronym stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards and is the designation given to people who have won all four major American stage awards.
Jolie just needs to earn an Emmy and Grammy to accomplish this feat, which has only been earned by 21 people.
