Maddox

On March 10, 2002, Jolie adopted her first child, Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt (originally Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie¹⁴). He was born on August 5 2001, as Rath Vibol in Cambodia and he initially lived in a local orphanage in Battambang. Jolie decided to apply for adoption after she had visited Cambodia twice, while filming Tomb Raider and on a UNHCR field trip in 2001. After her divorce from her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie received sole custody of Maddox. His name is Celtic in origin, usually translated as “beneficent”,[61] and like Jolie’s other children, Maddox has gained a considerable celebrity and appears regularly in the tabloid media; he was named the “cutest celebrity kid,”[62] and he is known for his mohawk hairstyle.
