According to Angelina Jolie’s sharing with Vogue magazine, her adopted Vietnamese-born son Pax Thien admires Aung San Suu Kyi – leader of Myanmar’s opposition party.
When conducting an interview with Vogue magazine, issued in November 2015, Angelina Jolie had just returned from Cambodia (the location she chose to film her third movie) and Myanmar.
On this trip, she went with her second adopted son – Pax Thien (11 years old). Pax is the adopted Vietnamese son of Angelina and Brad Pitt.
Jolie said the reason she brought Pax along on the trip was because the boy loved making movies and really wanted to meet the famous woman of Myanmar – Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of this country’s opposition party. Aung San Suu Kyi is also a Nobel Prize winner. According to Jolie, Pax has read a lot about Aung San Suu Kyi and is very curious about this special woman.
Also in a conversation with Vogue magazine, the American A-list actress said her six children have different backgrounds, religions and languages. Of Jolie Pitt’s six children, Maddox – the first adopted child – is of Cambodian origin, Pax Thien of Vietnamese origin and Zahara of Ethiopian origin. She and Brad Pitt always encourage their children to learn about their siblings’ cultures and countries.
“We often travel to Asia, Africa and Europe” – Angelina Jolie said – “This is where the children were born.”
“Our boys know they are from Southeast Asia and they have their own cuisine, their own music, their own friends and their own special pride,” the actress said. continued – “But I want children to also be interested in the history and homeland of their brothers and sisters. Therefore, we do not make a clear division.”
Right after the above statement, Angelina immediately used an example to illustrate what she wanted to say: “Instead of taking Zahara on a special trip of her own, we all went to Africa together and we really loved her.” Had a great time here.”
