Friday Flashback: The Jolie-Pitt kids, past and present
October 23, 2009 by Sherry
Although we were all spoiled for awhile with plenty of photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with their kids, we haven’t seen any new pictures for a little bit, so I thought a great Friday Flashback would be to show all the kids as they’ve grown up.
The video is by PittWatch reader Dana. It was made before the most recent photos were taken, so there are none of Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt after their arrival at the airport in Japan last year. Still, the video shows each of the kids at their youngest and shows them growing up with their parents and siblings and it’s really beautiful.
It still surprises me to see Maddox and Zahara when they were so small because they’ve grown into big kids now, and it’s hard to believe they were ever those tiny little bundles that we see in the video. I love seeing the photos of Angelina and Maddox back when it was just them against the world and there’s a great photo at 1:33 of Brad and Zahara where we get to see that Zahara started her patented “paparazzi death stare-down” at a very young age – it made me laugh right out loud.
I love looking back at all the photos I have on Flickr and my own website of my kids when they were still tiny and comparing them to how they look now, years later, so it was really fun to watch the Jolie-Pitt kids growing up in this video too.
Enjoy!
Wow, for the second time?

Oh good lord, I did this one already?! That’s the problem, sometimes I see so many great videos that I forget what I’ve done before. What’s especially sad is that it wasn’t even that long ago!
Sorry folks! I’ll try to get a different video next Friday!
(so embarrassed!)
very nice. thanks.
Dont worry sherry. I didnt see it last time you posted it and i enjoyed watching it. And dana, love your videos. Cant wait for the next one!
Yeah,Sherry don’t worry!!!Still it’s a wonderful video so…it’s ok!!!
Well,thanks for posting!!
There’s an article at people.com about a birthday cake angelina made for maddox in august.

DANA,THANK YOU FOR THAT FANTASTIC VIDEO.
SHERRY THANK YOU TOO FOR THAT VIDEO, I LOVED IT AND HAVE WATCHED IT SEVERAL TIMES,LOVE YOU SITE.
Thanks Sherry & Dana!! I hadn’t seen that video before. It’s terrific!! I’ve added it to my JP Youtube playlist.
Thanks Amy for the People link. That’s such a cute blurb about Angie making Mad a birthday cake.
BTW – I just got around to reading the Newsweek piece on Z’s hair. I wouldn’t blame Angie or Brad if they decide to keep the kids out of the public eye from now on. That article made me furious. What ever issues Ms. Samuels has regarding her own self image and identity should not be thrust on the shoulders of a beautiful 4 year old.
Apologies for the rant. Hope all you Pittwatchers have a wonderful weekend!
Faye88- I doubt Angie and Brad will do that. They don’t seem to care what people think, and besides, as famous as they are, it would be difficult for them to keep the kids out of the public eye completely.
Anyway, love the video!
Angelina Jolie’s Semi-Homemade Birthday Cake for Maddox

She’s a working mom – one who juggles six kids, a movie career and philanthropy – but Angelina Jolie still found time to whip up a sweet treat for son Maddox’s birthday in August, thanks to TV chef Sandra Lee.
“I was really surprised when her friend let me know she made my No Bake birthday cake,” says Lee, whose show hit Food Network show, Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee, provides viewers with no-fuss recipes prepared in minutes. “She’s a Semi-Homemade mommy just like the rest of us!”
The cake, which Lee says is “a beautiful display that anyone can do in five minutes,” starts with a store-bought white sheet cake, topped with a plain white round cake and then surrounded by cupcakes and pre-decorated cookies. “What’s great is that you get to personalize that beautiful display,” says Lee.
“She’s a very busy, overextended mother,” Lee, 43, tells PEOPLE. “I’m very proud not just that she made my cake but that someone of her stature isn’t delegating these [tasks], like her children’s birthday, to other people. I’m glad she loves the show and that the kids apparently also watch it too.”
The chef and New York Times best-selling author would know a thing or two about balancing a busy schedule. In addition to Semi-Homemade, she also has Sandra’s Money Saving Meals on the Food Network and will be releasing three new cookbooks (Semi-Homemade Money Saving Slow Cooking, Semi-Homemade Weeknight Wonders and Semi-Homemade Cocktail Time) on Oct. 25 – the same day she’ll be appearing on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Swapping spatulas for hammers – “I was sawing, drilling, carrying furniture, unloading trucks and making hamburgers for the community,” she says – Lee helped a family in Illinois rebuild their home and fundraised to pay off their mortgage.
“It was touching for me personally because they quit their corporate job to run a food bank,” says Lee, who recalls growing up on welfare and food stamps.
“The genius of Extreme,” explains Lee, “is that they’re able to, somehow, find these unique families in these unbelievable situations that do so much good in their community and are so selfless. I think this show should be on every single night of the week!”
Sherry – don´t be embarrased for posting this wonderful video again! I have watched it several times and after each viewing I just can´t get enough of it. It shows how much the JP kids have grown over the years. I especially love that 1:33 part where Princess Zee gives that killer-look for the paps for the first time. Dana – could you be so kind as to post another similar video with the newest pics of Knox and Viv with their parents in Amman, Jordan. I think that me and many other Pittwatchers would appreciate it very much. Your videos are always so great and wonderful! I´m sure that there are many more Pittwatchers who can make these beautiful videos. I can´t since I´m a little bit computer-illiterate. LOL. God bless the JPs! Have a nice weekend, Pittwatchers!
Thanks Sherry & Dana for the lovely video!! Love them. If only I could do video and post it on You Tube.
At the moment my fondest wish is for Brad to be nominated for awards and win them as well. It’s okay if people call me crazy, I really really want to see him win with Angie by his side. Will always support Brad and Angie’s movies and their humanitarian works.
my comment is still on moderation.. anyways..
i’ve heard that Brad bought a news motorbike to add on his collection..
it has a silver and gold outline and was delivered in their LA home.. check it out here

So beautiful, it actually brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely family filled with so much happiness.
Thanks for the video. It’s ok Sherry, just play the video…hmmmmm not sure how many times…I should say a lot. I just love this family. Hope to see them again. I guess after that comments about Shi and Zahara mommy Angie probably upset. But don’t be JP …your fans always here for you. Hello to all JP fans.
X17 is reporting that Brad had an accident on new motorcycle, he didn’t appear to be injured he ran into back of a car. go to X17.com
An update the paps in a Saturn hit his bike causing him to hit another car. After int incident with Nicole Richie , the Michael Jackson kids and now this I’m so angry I can’t think straight. Thankfully noone has been injured so far.
elizabeth- I doubt Angie’s upset. She and Brad have both made it clear that they basically ignore the tabs, and I assume that extends to what the general public say about them as well.
DANA,THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR YOUR NEW VIDEO OF BRAD AND ANGELINA. IT IS FABULOUS AND YOU CAPTURED WONDERFUL TIMES IN THEIR LIFE. I HAVE WATCHED IT SO MUCH, MANY,MANY THANKS AGAIN.
joliepittfanatic – I agree with you. I don´t think that Angie gets upset about these stories because she simply ignores them. She has said just recently that she isn´t seeking for thihs media attention. It just comes with the territory. Unfortunately. And I think that Brad is the same. He, too, sure ignores totally those rag stories. In my opinion 99.9.% of those stories are pure fabrication. No one really knows what is going on in the JP family. But to me Brad and Angie seem like a couple very much in love and happy. And their children look just adorable. They sure have raised the children well. I´ve never seen any pics of them having a public tantrum. God bless the JPs!
Guess what? I just made a video of the J-P kids growing up! It includes the newest photos of Knox and Viv, and you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMv9rAFqE8E
joliepittfanatic – THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this absolutely beautiful video! It´s just amazing to see ho much all six JP kids have grown during the years. Mad has got a loving dad and five younger siblings who all love him very much and he loves them. Zahara has grown to be this really beautiful and most of all healthy little lady. And Shi has grown a lot too. It´s always great to see that pic taken of her as a newborn baby and compare it to her latest pics. She has become a really beautiful young lady too. So what if she chooses to dress like a tomboy. It doesn´t diminish the fact that she is a really beautiful little girl. And Pax has become this handsome young man who sure adores his older brother and loves his younger siblings a lot. And now he also has a mother an father who both love him a lot. And the twins are just adorable. They´re growing up so fast. Knox is starting to look more and more like his handsome dad and Viv looks more and more like her beautiful mum. God bless these six children and their parents always!
joliepittfanatic – forgot to mention in my earlier comment that the song – Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles – is a perfect choice for this video. And love the pic of Mad holding yawning little Viv in his arms. He truly seems to be really loving big bro. And not only to Viv but also to the four others:Pax, Zee, Shi and Knox.
Kati- Thanks for the compliment!
I´ve watched this video over and over again and after each viewing it just gets better. I especially like the Maddox part but the whole video is great. It´s amazing to see how much Mad has changed. From that little boy with a mohawk into an 8-year-old young man who wants to have a real big boy hairdo. He certainly is a responsible big bro who takes care of his younger siblings whenever they need help. I´m sure that he will be the onr who´ll continue his parents´ work as a humanitarian. But maybe even Zahara and someone of the younger ones will too.
I happened to watch a video of YOU & KIDS on the internet.
Vous et vos enfants etes tres jolis.
I loved to see that you kids, love your kids.
Have a nice life.
Please
Andre
I’ve never seen this site before, but ended up here on a link from msn. This is such a beautiful video. I don’t keep up much with celebs, but I have a few kids of my own and I LOVED watching the video. Made me relive some moments in my own life. Very touching. Thanks for posting.
