Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was an ‘outcast’ and liked to be called John; Now she’s red carpet icon.


The on-screen connection between performers who work side by side on a set is sometimes swiftly transferred into their personal lives, as we have seen numerous times.

As an illustration, consider the most well-known, now-divorced couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Pitt was still wed to the stunning Jennifer Aniston when the two began working on Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, but that didn’t stop the Hollywood hunk from falling in love with sex queen Jolie, giving rise to “Brangelina,” one of the world’s most famous couples.

“Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, ‘God, I can’t wait to get to work.’ … Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair,” Jolie mentions.

Shiloh, the twins Vivienne and Knox, and their three biological children, Maddox, Zahara, and Pax, were all born to the couple throughout their 12-year relationship.

Jolie’s pregnancy was a massive news story that enraged the media. As the world eagerly awaited the birth of the couple’s first child, paparazzi followed the couple everywhere they went. Magazines were willing to pay $1 million for a unique image of the infant who was famous before he or she was even born.

New York magazine wrote at the time, “Not since Jesus has a baby been so eagerly anticipated.”

Shiloh was born on May 27, 2006, and Pitt and Jolie made a whopping $14 million from the sale of her picture, which they then donated to UNICEF.

”While we celebrate the joy of the birth of our daughter, we recognise that 2 million babies born every year in the developing world die on the first day of their lives. These children can be saved, but only if governments around the world make it a priority,” the couple said in a statement.

Shiloh, who will turn 16 soon, has essentially always been in the public eye.

She appears to have gotten the finest from her well-known parents and she looks stunning. But something about her—specifically, the way she dressed—raised eyebrows among admirers. She also requested that John be used in place of her own name by her parents and siblings.

Dad Pitt admitted, in a conversation with Oprah,

”She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it’s a Peter Pan thing. So we’ve got to call her John” He then added, ‘Shi, do you want …’ – ‘John. I’m John.’ And then I’ll say, ‘John, would you like some orange juice?’ And she goes, ‘No!’ So, you know, it’s just that kind of stuff that’s cute to parents, and it’s probably really obnoxious to other people.” 

Jolie also spoke of her daughter’s wish to dress as a boy and told Vanity Fair:

“She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers.”

However, neither Pitt nor Jolie seemed to have an issue with it. They encouraged their daughter in anything she decided to do.

Shiloh had a special meaning to Jolie, therefore it was a little difficult for her to stop calling the girl by that name, but she honoured the girl’s wishes.

All of the children get to spend time with both their mum and their dad because to the custody arrangements made when the couple separated. Pitt and Jolie are both loving parents who always go above and above for the welfare of their children.

Shiloh stunned the world in 2021 when she joined her well-known mother at the premiere of Marvel’s “Eternals” while donning the same Dior gown that Angelina had worn in 2019 to a press conference for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Shiloh had long hair that she wore in a bun and looked stunning.

For the Rome premiere, Shiloh opted for a little black dress she paired with yellow and black snickers.
