From a malnourished boy in an orphanage who was adopted and taught by famous Hollywood parents, Pax Thien is now an adult, the breadwinner in the family after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce.

Now, the adopted Vietnamese son Pax Thien has grown up as fast as ever and is extremely youthful when he often accompanies his famous mother Angelina Jolie whether on the street or attending prestigious red carpet events. Pax Thien is also a strong spiritual support for her mother after Angelina Jolie divorced Brad Pitt.

Pax Thien is more mature and mature than many of her peers. This is thanks to Angelina Jolie’s unique yet effective upbringing. Ever since she adopted Pax Thien, she always set some rules for the boy, requiring him to strictly follow them.

1. Family is the most important thing

For Angelina, family always comes first, and that’s why she always teaches Pax Thien to understand the importance of family love. Moreover, Pax Thien was orphaned at a young age, so the actress always wanted her son to live in the care of his relatives.

So in Angelina’s house there was no quarrel between the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. If Pax Thien and her siblings have a dispute with each other, the actress wants them to sit face to face with each other and speak their minds to solve the problem peacefully.

Therefore, Pax Thien and his siblings have always been each other’s closest friends. Angelina’s 6 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren trust and share all problems in life.

2. Always remember your roots and experience many different cultures will increase your 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’s capital

Along with her mother Angelina Jolie participating in volunteer activities, Pax Thien has the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world, which are also cultural experiences for Pax. Previously, thanks to such trips of Angelina, Pax Thien, Maddox and Zahara were adopted.

In 2011, she brought Pax Thien back to Vietnam to learn about her roots. “My 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren all learn about each other’s homeland and cultures. They also hang flags on their beds to always feel proud of their differences,” the female superstar shared.

3. Always be yourself

Angelina Jolie revealed that Pax Thien loves music and wants to become a DJ. In addition, from a young age, he loved to cook and was encouraged by his mother to pursue it. Angelina Jolie believes that let 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren grow naturally and do what they want until they express themselves for who they are. Each 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 has their own color and dream, so she does not impose on them but lets them develop their own path.

Angelina always respects and supports her son’s dream.

4. Willingness to try new things

For Angelina, a healthy diet is also an important part of a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’s development. They can be picky eaters, but she always encourages them to try new things.

Angelina once instructed Pax Thien and his brothers to eat spiders, scorpions, and cicadas in Cambodia. Vietnam also has a lot of strange dishes, she hopes Pax Thien can try them too. The actress thinks that this is a lesson about courage and survival for her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.

5. Cultivate your own language

Like many other mothers, Angelina encourages her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to learn more languages. This not only helps 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren easily communicate and learn, but also better understand the culture of new lands.

She let the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren choose the language they want to learn. Angelina once proudly shared that Pax Thien was studying Vietnamese. Pax always wanted to keep the Vietnamese soul in him and his mother did not forbid it.

6. Learn to give

Before being adopted by Angelina Jolie, Pax Thien was an orphan who was raised at Tam Binh Children’s Nurturing Center (HCMC). But he was luckier than his friends to grow up in a wonderful family.

From a boy abandoned by his mother to fortunately adopted by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, everyone thought that Pax Thien had a “one step ahead” life. That is also the reason why Angelina always wants Pax Thien to share and help those who are less fortunate than her.

Angelina Jolie often takes Pax Thien with her on humanitarian relief trips, where he can witness many poor situations.

Pax loves to travel and meet new friends, so Angelina takes advantage of this to give him the opportunity to help unfortunate circumstances. This helps Pax Thien appreciate what he has and learn to give.

Now Pax Thien is no longer a skinny and weak boy but has grown up to be a real teenager under the scientific education of a famous mother. Angelina Jolie has a lot of love for her Vietnamese-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 son when she brings him along to many important events. Pax Thien also did not disappoint her adoptive mother when she proved to be more mature than her age, helping her mother in many things.
