Brad Pitt Continues Public Outings for F1 Film after Daughters Drop His Name: His Face & Haircut at 60 Ignite Talks

Some of Brad Pitt’s children heartbreakingly distanced themselves from him shortly before he was spotted getting a makeover for his upcoming racing film. While some internet users pointed out the actor’s changes and made comments about them, others concentrated on his strained connection with his kids.

Many of Brad Pitt’s kids have opted to forgo his last name, and one of them has gone so far as to file a lawsuit over the issue. Following the revelation, the actor was spotted at a recent work event, and some of his fans commented on how good they thought he looked for his age.

Others found it incomprehensible that he was working and maintaining his good looks while his family was falling apart.

Another comment on the internet said, “Brad Pitt will always be a classic of handsome men category’s. (sic)” Another reader noted, “He looks relaxed for someone who has six kids that no longer want to carry his name,” but she was not paying attention to him.

The reader was making reference to Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, Brad’s twin daughter, who changed her last name in May 2024. The 15-year-old explored her artistic side with the help of her mother, Angelina Jolie.

According to one magazine, she was named as “Vivienne Jolie” on the playbill for the musical “The Outsiders,” without her father’s last name. Born in 2008, Angelina’s daughter worked as a production assistant for the actress throughout her tenure as producer.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt submitted legal paperwork to remove her father’s last name in the same month. The adolescent, who turned 18 on May 27, prefers to go by her mother’s last name instead. She would like to go by “Shiloh Jolie.”

According to a source, Shiloh submitted her application on Memorial Day, which also happened to be her birthday. Although her request hasn’t been approved formally yet, it could not be long before it does.

In addition to her and Vivienne making the audacious move, Zahara, their other sister, has allegedly also removed the “Pitt” from her name on a few other occasions. Zahara announced her announcement in November 2023, the month she joined Spelman College’s Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Her new sorority sisters encouraged her as she ascended the stage in an Essence video. “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie,” declared Angelina’s kid, then she began to dance and flip her hair.

The well-known parents were engaged in continuing court disputes when word leaked out about the children’s new names. The ex-couple has been arguing about who owns a French winery jointly. They’re also dealing with claims of abuse that have caused the family a great deal of emotional and financial distress.

Before a judge ruled that Angelina and Brad were legally single in 2019, the couple filed for divorce in 2016. Even though the ex-couple was granted joint custody in 2021, their post-divorce legal challenges continue to revolve heavily on it.

In an interview with a publication regarding his professional plans for 2022, Brad stated he was giving his future a lot of thought. Additionally, he was considering the course he wanted to pursue on the “last leg” of his artistic career. “This last semester or trimester,” the actor pondered. What is the purpose of this section? How would I go about designing that?”

His method was “mining his dreams for what meaning they might contain.” He saw that “being your authentic self” was a common topic of conversation in California. He struggled to understand what that meant until he realized that it meant “getting to a place of acknowledging those deep scars that we carry.”
