A recent Presidential dinner was hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee. Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie attended the elite event with her eldest son, Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt.
Jolie-Pitt’s attendance was a rare occurrence because the 21-year-old is hardly ever seen out and about. The famous son of Brad Pitt and Jolie spends most of his time busying himself with his studies in South Korea but flew down to Washington, DC, for the special occasion.

The public has been left shocked by the photos captured of the mom and her son. Many have left comments about how strange the duo looks together, specifically honing in on Jolie-Pitt’s appearance.
Negative comments about how her son looked standing next to his mother were the center of attention on social media following the event.

Jolie And Her Eldest Son Look Like A “Bride and Groom”
The lavish presidential state dinner in honor of South Korea happened on Wednesday, April 26. Of the extensive 200-guest list, Jolie and her son were two, and the mother-son duo dressed to impress.
The “Tomb Raider: Lara Croft” star stunned in a cream-colored gown adorned with a beautiful matching blazer placed atop her shoulders. She finished off her delicate look by accessorizing with glamorous gold earrings, a necklace, and a clutch to match. Her son Jolie-Pitt wore an elegant black suit covered by a long fancy-looking black coat and paired his look with shiny black dress shoes.

Jolie-Pitt looked very grown-up in his smart suit as he popped his collar for a picture snapped by the media in attendance. He may have looked too grown for the public’s liking as an influx of concerning comments began popping up on social media after photographs were released.
Several commentators took to Instagram to comment negatively on how the mother and son showed up to the event. One comment, in particular, highlighted that Jolie’s son looked older than he is, stating overtly that the mother and son looked as though they were a “bride and groom” and looked “kinda weird.”:

Many others commented on his supposedly looking poor, sickly, and worn down. At the same time, another person wondered if he was “wearing a wig” because his hairline has appeared to look very thin in other older pictures of the 21-year-old. Another viewer added that Jolie’s son “needs a haircut”:

In spite of the influx of adverse reactions toward Jolie’s son, a few fans peppered the post’s comment section with a few friendly words. Two fans pointed out how handsome Jolie-Pitt has gotten as he has aged:

Despite the unwarranted backlash from a few spectators about Jolie and her eldest son’s recent sighting, Jolie remains proud of her son and all he has accomplished at 21.
Angelina Jolie Was A Single Mom When She Got Maddox
Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt is the eldest of six kids shared between Jolie and her ex-husband Pitt. As the eldest, he was Jolie’s first child, adopted from a Cambodian orphanage in 2002. The “Salt” talent had visited and fallen in love with the country a year before while filming “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.”
Jolie’s connection with her eldest son was instantaneous, and she reportedly cried extensively after seeing him abandoned in the orphanage. At the time of Jolie-Pitt’s adoption, she was still married to “Bad Santa” actor Billy Bob Thornton. Some months following Jolie’s return with her son, the couple split, and she became a single mother.
When the “Maleficent” talent and Pitt started dating in 2005, Pitt decided to adopt Maddox at the end of the year. As he aged, he grew increasingly close to his mother and began taking an interest in Jolie’s career as both a filmmaker and humanitarian.

By the time Jolie’s son was 15, he was onboarded as an executive producer on his mother’s film “First They Killed My Father,” a movie about the Cambodian genocide under the Khmer Rouge regime. Jolie hoped that by him being a part of the production for the film, he would gain an invested interest in discovering who he is and feel a connection to his people and country.
Jolie has reported her son’s interest and pride in learning more about his culture. The “Girl, Interrupted” star spoke about how Maddox frequently travels back and forth to Cambodia from time to time:
“Mad knows himself very well, and if he said he was ready, I knew he knew. He goes back and forth [to Cambodia] a lot, but this would be over four months of just being in the country, really reading, listening, learning, and absorbing [everything] about his culture and country.”

What Became of Maddox As He Grew Up?
Apart from his interest and accomplishments in the film industry, Jolie’s son also has an affinity for learning how to fly and speaking multiple languages. An incredibly proud Jolie boasts about how she received a rewarding phone call from her son’s flight school telling her how advanced Maddox is; the mom of six also stated how sophisticated Maddox’s language skills have gotten:
“He’s [pretty] capable and always takes me by surprise. He’s been practicing flying, [and] then they called me the other day and said, ‘So Mad can go solo,’ and I nearly dropped the phone! He’s [also] been taking French and Russian and all these different languages.”

The famous son has also been enrolled at Yonsei University in South Korea since 2019, which his doting mother Jolie was elated about. At the institution, Jolie-Pitt studies chemistry and works on practicing his Korean. When speaking about watching her son grow, Jolie shared the following message:
“I’m so happy for [him] that he’s grown up into such a good man. I say that [be]cause he’s smart and he’s doing his work, but he’s also wild. He’s balanced.”
