With a father like Brad Pitt and a mother like Angelina Jolie,
fans can't help but wonder if Shiloh Jolie-Pitt will follow in her parents'
footsteps with a movie career of her own. Some even might say she's already Hollywood royalty,
thanks to her media exposure and red carpet appearances. Even though the teen is yet to give
an interview herself, her parents have talked about her, as well as her siblings, plenty of
times before. Calling his kids, quote, "true comedians," Pitt said during a 2018 appearance
on The Oprah Winfrey Show that Shiloh wanted to change her name to John. The actor told Oprah:
"It's a Peter Pan thing. So we've got to call her John."
In an October interview with People, Angelina Jolie — a proud mother of six —revealed when
it comes to raising her family, she employs a hands-off approach. Jolie told the outlet:
"I have six very individual human beings in my home. I am so excited about all the
different stages and feelings and curiosities that they go through. Why wouldn't you be?"
The star added,
"We're supposed to help them figure out who they are.
And you can't figure out who they are if you don't enthusiastically develop with them."
So, does that mean Jolie would support her daughter Shiloh if she decided to pursue a
career in the entertainment business, just like her mother did when she was a teen? Perhaps.
And unlike many aspiring teen actors her age, Shiloh already has one foot in the door.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt already has a
Hollywood resume that other aspiring artists could only dream of having.
According to her IMDb page, Shiloh has a voiceover credit for 2016's Kung Fu Panda 3
and an uncredited role in Pitt's 2008 hit The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in which she
"played" the protagonist, Caroline, as a baby. The movie began shooting at the tail end of 2006
and continued into 2007, so there's a good chance Shiloh wasn't 1 yet when she made her cameo.
When promoting the film, Pitt told Oprah Winfrey during an appearance on her show
that fatherhood had a profound effect on the projects he chose. Pitt told the host:
"I can't help but do a film thinking my kids will see that someday and that may mean something to
them. So it puts an extra importance and yet takes off the importance at the same time."
As for Kung Fu Panda, Angelina Jolie provided sweet insight into how it all went.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jolie had this to say about her kids:
"They were kind of shy. They don't really want to be actors,
but I didn't want them to miss the opportunity. They came in, and they had a lot of fun with it."
Now, as far as whether or not Shiloh Jolie-Pitt will pursue a Hollywood career as an adult remains
to be seen, but no matter what happens, it's clear her parents have her back.
Brad Pitt told GQ back in 2017 about his sensitive approach to parenting,
"Kids are so delicate. They absorb everything. They need to have their hand held and things
explained. They need to be listened to. [...] When I get in that busy work mode,
I'm not hearing. I want to be better at that."
As for Angelina, she told Harper's Bazaar:
"[I want my kids to] explore the world, including the world of ideas and expression, without there
being limits to what they are allowed to study or know or imagine themselves doing in the future."
That future might include modeling if tabloid rumors prove to be true. While speaking about
the teen's supposed aspirations to hit the runaway, an insider told OK! Magazine:
"Shiloh seems to have a more confident attitude about herself. Of course, when you
have Angelina and Brad [Pitt] for parents, it's no surprise she'd make the perfect cover girl."
Of course, it's also more than possible will follow in the footsteps of her big brother Pax,
who went the higher education route. Or Shiloh can pursue college and acting
because we have a feeling Pitt and Jolie are the kinds of parents who would say, "Sky's the limit!"
