Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's eight-yer-old daughter dresses as a boy and wants to be called as ‘John.’ Back in 2008, Pitt in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on her show revealed that even when she was just 2½ years old, their daughter Shiloh already chose to identify herself as a boy. Said he then: “She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it's a Peter Pan thing. So we've got to call her John. ‘Shi, do you want...’ – ‘John. I'm John.’ And then I'll say, ‘John, would you like some orange juice?’ And she goes, ‘No!’ So, you know, it's just that kind of stuff that's cute to parents, and it's probably really obnoxious to other people.”Wife Jolie back in 2010 also told Daily Mail: "I don't think it's for the world to interpret anything. She likes to dress like a boy and wants her hair cut like a boy and she wanted to be called 'John' for a while. Some kids wear capes and want to be Superman and she wants to be like her brothers. It's who she is. It's been a surprise to us and it's really interesting, but she's so much more than that - she's funny and sweet and pretty. But she does love a tie..."
Now, after four years, the whole Jolie-Pitt family still addresses Shiloh as 'John.' At the premier showing of her mother's Unbroken film, her being seen and photographed sporting a short haircut and wearing a suit and tie much like those of her older brothers Pax and Maddox did serve to provoke media attention.As Pitt noted years before, their decision to support their child's choice of gender identity will have some social media users opposing and criticizing them on the issue.However, many more did agree with them. Lisa Suhay at Christian Monitor is one of those who sides with the couple. She wrote: "Jolie and Pitt are doing something very wise and brave by setting an example for other parents to get past the idea that boys will be boys and girls will be princesses, by allowing their child to explore who she is and trust they will recognize her, not by her dress, but by who she is day-to-day - their child."

Amber Rose is getting both backlash and praise for a controversial Instagram post she shared about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's 8-year-old daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.Last night, the 31-year-old model posted a photo of Shiloh from her mom's recent Unbroken premiere in L.A. with the caption, "How gorgeous is John Jolie Pitt?! Born into the perfect family for him. "If you didn't know, Pitt revealed to Oprah Winfrey back in 2008 that Shiloh prefers being called John. "She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it's a Peter Pan thing," he said when Shiloh was just 2. "So we've got to call her John. 'Shi, do you want…' ‘John. I'm John.' And then I'll say, 'John, would you like some orange juice?' And she goes, 'No!' So, you know, it's just that kind of stuff that's cute to parents and it's probably really obnoxious to other people."Two years later, Jolie opened up to Vanity Fair about Shiloh's masculine style."Shiloh, we feel has Montenegro style. It's how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes [regular] suits. So it's a suit with a tie and a jacket and slacks, or a tracksuit," the Oscar winner said in 2010. "She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers." While Rose's intentions were obviously coming from an extremely supportive place, for the record, Jolie and Pitt have never publically talked about Shiloh—or any of their children—being "transkids" as Rose put it.

Earlier this month, she blamed a bout of chicken pox for forcing her to cancel all promotional events surrounding her latest directorial effort Unbroken.But Angelina Jolie appeared to have made an impressive recovery as she strutted out in public for the first time since suffering through the ailment.The 39-year-old looked as chic as ever in a stylish all black ensemble while shopping and grabbing lunch with daughters Zahara and Shiloh in L.A. on Sunday.Angelina's stylish monochromatic outfit consisted of a blazer, scarf, skintight leggings and a fabulous pair of knee high boots.With no signs of red itchy bumps, she wore her brown locks flowing down her back with little makeup on her flawless bone structure and a large black sunglasses to protect from the sun's glare.Little Zahara, nine, was pretty in pink wearing a pale sweatshirt, fuchsia leggings and a pair of shiny ballet flats.While her eight-year-old sister Shiloh kept it sporty in a grey hoodie, striped shorts and black plimsolls.The trio had been shopping at trendy M.Frederic boutique before making a trip to In-N-Out Burger for a tasty snack.The outing came as Angelina basked in the surprise success of her movie, in which she does not even appear.

SHE'S known for her Humanitarian work and a serious film director, but Angelina Jolie hasn't always been so conservative.New pictures have emerged of the Hollywood actress when she was just 20-years-old, and show a very different side to the Angelina that everybody knows now.In the seriously sexy snaps, Angelina can be seen licking a pair of silver handcuffs as she writhes up against a wall wearing a sexy black dress.The pictures were taken just before Angelina's acting debut in cyberpunk thriller 'Hackers', and no doubt brought her to everyone's attention.As she poses up a storm for the camera, the pretty star sports a bouncy brunette bob and plenty of eyeshadow as she pulls her famous pout.As she finds herself slipping more and more into her seductive role, Angelina pulls down her black strappy dress and faces the wall, showing off her bare back as she glances over her shoulder.With a few of her tattoos on show, the pretty actress pulls a series of over the top faces and pushes her groin into the stone wall.Wearing a pair of sky-high, strappy stilettos, Angelina even bends down at one point and covers her modesty with her stretchy attire as she gazes into the distance.Other shots show her wearing her hair in large rollers as she puffs on a cigarette and bends her slender pins.Angelina's first film went on to achieve cult classic status, and was her first big break ahead of roles in movies such as 'Girl, Interrupted' and 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'.It is also where she met first husband Jonny Lee Miller, who played Dade Murphy in the 1995 film.For their wedding in March 1996, Angelina wore a pair of black rubber pants and a white T-shirt, upon which she had written the groom's name in her blood.However, she and Johnny separated in September 1997 and in 1999, with Angelina going on to marry actor Billy Bog Thornton.She has since put her wild child ways behind her and is now happily married to 'Fight Club' star Brad Pitt, with whom she has six children.Angelina has also received wide recognition for her humanitarian work, and in June of this year she was appointed an Honorary Dame Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (DCMG) for her services to the United Kingdom's foreign policy and campaigning to end sexual violence in war zones.The Queen presented her with the insignia of her honorary damehood during a private ceremony in October.
