Out with the old.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pittâs eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, dropped Pitt from his last name in the credits of the actressâ newest movie.
Maddox, 24, worked as an assistant director on âCouture,â a newly released drama starring his mom. Angelina plays the role of Maxine Walker, a woman diagnosed with breast cancer whose life intersects with two other women during Paris Fashion Week.
When the Alice Winocour-directed film debuted in French movie theaters Wednesday, Maddoxâs name was listed as âMaddox Jolieâ in the end credits, People reported.
Page Six has reached out to Bradâs rep, who declined to comment.
In 2024, the executive producerâs name was listed as Maddox Jolie-Pitt in the credits for âMaria,â which starred Jolie as late opera singer Maria Callas.
The âMaleficentâ actress, 50, shares five other kids with her ex-husband: Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
Maddox isnât the only one of the actorâs kids to drop his last name.
Zahara left off âPittâ from her name during her Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated induction ceremony at Spelman College in Atlanta in 2023.
During the probate, the then-teen referred to herself as âZahara Marley Jolie.â
In 2024, Shiloh dropped her dadâs surname in âThe Outsidersâ Playbill.
The dancer â who helped mom Jolie produce the Broadway play â was listed as âVivienne Jolieâ in the magazine for theatergoers.
A source told People that Brad, 62, was âaware and upsetâ that his and Jolieâs first biological daughter, Shiloh, dropped his last name.
âHeâs aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. Heâs never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter,â the insider said at the time.
âThe reminders that heâs lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. Itâs very sad.â
The source said Brad âstill loves all of his kids tremendously,â adding that this âwhole process has been very hard for the whole family.â
The âEternalsâ star filed for divorce from the âTroyâ actor in 2016 and requested full custody of their six children following an alleged abusive incident between Brad and the kids.
Jolieâs lawyers claimed that Brad allegedly âchoked one of the children and struck another in the faceâ during a confrontation on a private jet.
The FBI âthoroughlyâ investigated and chose ânot to bring any chargesâ against Pitt, we were told in 2022.
The former couple was declared legally single in 2019 and finally settled their divorce in December 2024.
Last year, a source told Us Weekly that the âFight Clubâ actor remains estranged from most of his children despite âseveral efforts to reconnect.â
