Angelina Jolie Explains Why Her Kids Are Not Interested in Fame game

 

Angelina Jolie, one of Hollywood’s most famous actresses, recently opened up about why her children aren’t chasing the spotlight like many celebrity kids. Jolie, who has six children – Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne – shares a unique perspective on fame, which she has also passed down to her kids.

Jolie's children have grown up surrounded by cameras and media attention, given their parents' fame. Jolie and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, were one of Hollywood's most high-profile couples, and their children naturally attracted a lot of public curiosity. However, despite being in the limelight since childhood, Jolie’s kids have chosen a quieter, more private path away from Hollywood.

In a recent interview, Jolie revealed that she has always encouraged her children to focus on their passions and what makes them happy, rather than pursuing fame. She wants them to understand that fame and public attention do not define a person’s worth or happiness. For Jolie, fame can be a double-edged sword, offering opportunities but also bringing challenges that not everyone is prepared to handle.

She explained that her children have grown up seeing the demands and pressures that fame can bring, both positive and negative. While she respects her children's choices and gives them space to explore, she’s clear about the importance of having a grounded sense of identity and self-worth.

Jolie has always been open about her desire to give her children a broad, culturally rich experience of the world. Her family is very international, and she often takes her kids on humanitarian trips and exposes them to diverse cultures and perspectives. Through these experiences, her children have learned to value different aspects of life, focusing on making a positive difference rather than becoming famous.

One example Jolie shared was how she and her kids work with different charities and community organizations. She believes in teaching them the importance of empathy and using their privileges to help others. Instead of encouraging them to take acting lessons or seek out celebrity status, Jolie has guided them toward understanding world issues and appreciating life's simpler pleasures.

Jolie also acknowledged that her children have varied interests and talents. Shiloh, for instance, has occasionally been in the spotlight, especially when she started showing an interest in dancing. However, Jolie has made it clear that she supports her kids' personal interests and hobbies, but only if they genuinely enjoy them, not for fame or public approval. Her priority is to ensure they are emotionally strong and happy with who they are.

The actress admits that fame has brought her both joy and difficulty. While it has helped her raise awareness about issues she deeply cares about, like refugees and human rights, it has also come with challenges that have affected her personal life and her children. This is part of why she wants her kids to be thoughtful about whether fame is something they really want.

Overall, Jolie’s approach reflects her deep desire for her children to grow up with values, kindness, and resilience, rather than feeling pressured to follow in her famous footsteps. By allowing them to develop as individuals, she hopes they will choose paths that truly fulfill them, even if that means staying away from the Hollywood spotlight.

In her words, Jolie is simply proud to see her children "become the people they want to be." Through her support, they are finding their unique identities and passions, proving that happiness doesn’t always come with fame.
