Orphaned boy changed his life when adopted by Angelina Jolie: grew up to be a support for his mother, pursued another career

A chance encounter with adoptive mother Angelina Jolie completely changed the life of the boy Pax Thien.

The fateful meeting of an orphan boy with the world’s top star

Among the adopted children of the once-famous Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, there is a boy of Vietnamese descent named Pax Thien (SN 2003). Pax Thien is also known as Pham Quang Sang. He used to be a premature child, abandoned by his biological mother in the hospital and only left a birth certificate with his child’s name and an unpaid hospital fee of 480,000 VND.

His biological mother left, his maternal grandparents could not support him, so Pax Thien was taken to the Tam Binh Orphanage Center (Ho Chi Minh City). Ho Chi Minh City). Due to being born prematurely and not being adequately cared for, the boy was severely malnourished, suffering from skin diseases and a number of other diseases.

The “miracle” of Pax Thien’s life appeared when Angelina Jolie went to the orphanage where he used to live to adopt a child. Among many children, the couple had a special impression of Pax Thien because he was the only one who was scared, reserved and nestled in a corner of the room without daring to run out to ask for sweets like his friends. After that, Pax Thien was the child chosen by the couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

It was also from here that the orphan’s life turned a new page. When applying for the adoption of her Vietnamese son, Angelina Jolie chose the name Pax Thien with the meaning of “peaceful sky”. The word “Thien” in the guy’s name was coined because Angelina Jolie wants her child to always remember that she is of Vietnamese origin.

It is known that the first photo of the Vietnamese-born gentleman when he came to the US was sold at an exclusive price of 2.7 million USD (about 64 billion VND) to People newspaper.

Becoming the breadwinner of the family after the cult divorce, pursuing a different direction

In the past, like many other Angelina Jolie children, Pax studied at home, instead of going to school. The reason is that both Angelina and Brad Pitt often move from one place to another in and out of the United States. Therefore, homeschooling will be more convenient for the Jolie-Pitt children. In addition, the couple also explained that the important reason for them to decide to homeschool their children is because of their diverse backgrounds – the three eldest children were born in Cambodia, Vietnam and Ethiopia.

However, after that, Pax Thien was sent to school like many children of his age. According to the source, this is what the psychotherapist recommended to Angelina Jolie’s family.

Having parents who are Hollywood’s top famous stars, Pax Thien is a closed person who does not like to be hunted by reporters. Unlike his brothers and sisters in the family, every time he appeared in front of the media, Pax Thien often held his parents’ hands tightly and stood in the depths. Not only that, before the paparazzi followed, Pax Thien also had strange reactions such as screaming or running away…

Despite having an introverted personality, Pax Thien has become more and more confident and mature as he gets older. Even after the noisy divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Pax Thien has become a solid spiritual support for her mother and children.

Pax Thien knows very well how to take care of family members

“You can imagine how brave it must be to adapt to a whole new environment, to new people and a new language. He was very strong. Pax is very serious and a sweet boy,” Angelina Jolie once said about her Vietnamese-born son.

In June 2021, Pax Thien officially graduated from high school at a prestigious private school in Los Angeles (USA). He did not attend the graduation ceremony for fear of becoming the focus of the media.

Not choosing to pursue an art career like his famous parents, Pax Thien chose for himself his own path in the field of art game (art in games). Pax Thien used to work under the stage name Embtto to avoid the reputation of “relying” on his parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Besides, Pax Thien also has a great passion for photography and videography.

There is a special thing about Angelina Jolie’s way of educating her children, that is, she not only gives absolute love to Pax Thien but also encourages him to remember Vietnam. The female star even hired a coach to teach Pax Thien Vietnamese, arranging for him to return to Vietnam whenever he had the opportunity.

Talking about the method of educating 3 adopted children with different nationalities, Angelina Jolie once revealed: “My children are all learning about each other’s homeland and cultures. They even hang flags on their beds to always feel proud of their differences.”
