How does Knox Jolie-Pitt compare in height to his renowned mother? Knox, born in July 2008, is the second youngest child of celebrities Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Making his entrance into the world just before twin sister Vivienne, Knox is the fifth child in their large family, which includes six children in total—three of whom were adopted. They were born in a high-end hospital in Nice, France, noted CBS News. The couple’s other four children eagerly awaited their arrival at the luxurious Château Miraval. Due to intense media scrutiny, Jolie had to navigate a careful exit from the hospital to avoid paparazzi, successfully escaping early one morning, as reported by People.
Given Jolie and Pitt’s fame, the tumult surrounding Knox and Vivienne’s birth wasn’t surprising. Despite their rapid growth, the Jolie-Pitt children have managed to celebrate life’s moments mostly under the radar but have been seen with their parents on several occasions. For example, on their eighth birthday, Knox and Vivienne were photographed at The Griddle Café in West Hollywood with their mom, when they barely reached her waist. Now at 16, Knox has substantially surpassed his mother’s height!
Knox Jolie-Pitt surpasses Angelina Jolie in height
Unlike his older siblings who are embarking on adult lives, Knox Jolie-Pitt keeps a lower profile. Yet, he recently stood out at the 2024 Governors Awards as his mother’s date. Both appeared delighted as they posed on the red carpet; Jolie dazzled in a sparkling two-toned gold gown, while Knox opted for a classic black tuxedo, complete with a bowtie. Most notably, the 16-year-old is now taller than his mother, even when she wore heels!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Knox accompanies mother on red carpet at Governors Awards 2024
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s rarely-seen son Knox Jolie-Pitt accompanied his mother on the red carpet at Governors Awards 2024. The 48-year-old actress was joined by her 16-year-old son at the Ray Dolby Ballroom on Sunday (17 November). The Oscar-winning actress wore a shimmering gold and silver sleeveless gown, paired with diamond earrings and a matching necklace.
For reference, Jolie stands just under 5 feet 7 inches, as per IMDb, and typically wears heels of at least three inches. Therefore, Knox could potentially be around 5-foot-10 or even 5-foot-11. Knox’s father, Brad Pitt, known for his tall frame, is listed at 5 feet 11 inches on IMDb. With Knox still in his growth phase, it’s quite conceivable he might eventually outgrow his father, as could his twin sister, Vivienne.
Social media buzzes over Knox and Angelina’s striking resemblance
Knox Jolie-Pitt’s remarkable growth is just one aspect that has sparked conversations on social media. Many are also commenting on his striking resemblance to his mother, Angelina Jolie. One Reddit user noted, “This is the first picture of Knox I’ve seen in years; wow, he looks remarkably grown up and so much like Angelina!” Another remarked on Jolie’s other biological children sharing her characteristics, saying, “Angie has strong genes; it appears that all her biological kids favor her.” Some even likened Knox to his sister, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who is also frequently compared to their mother: “I totally thought this was Shiloh! Strong genes at work,” a fan expressed.
Brad Pitt’s influence hasn’t gone unnoticed either; numerous fans believe Knox resembles his father too. A user tweeted, “Knox has grown up looking just like a young Brad. Angelina is timeless, what a stunning duo!” Another humorously cited the paternity show “Maury,” saying, “Brad Pitt…you ARE the father.” Nevertheless, many fans believe Knox inherits traits from both parents stating, “A perfect blend of his parents! It’s amazing how beautiful their kids are. Excited she’s introducing him to the ‘world.'” Regardless of which parent he resembles most, Knox’s future appears promising!
