He has been at college in South Korea, but reportedly came home with the lockdown from COVID-19 began.It is not known why Brad does not see Pax. It also helps that Brad and Angelina have a new agreement: Pitt currently sees the younger children 'every few days,' a second source told the publication.Living only 10 minutes apart in Los Feliz - he in his large compound that he has owned for 20 years and she is in her $25M home Cecil B DeMille once lived in - makes it all very easy.Jolie has also been impressed by Pitt's continued sobriety.

Angelina Jolie has urged Congress to help families struggling for food.The Maleficent star has called for senior politicians to increase food stamp benefits for families across the United States in a bid to help them amidst the current coronavirus pandemic.'Many of the most vulnerable children in America have missed nearly 740 million meals at school, due to closure resulting from the rapid spread of coronavirus. With parents facing lost jobs and wages, many of these children are going hungry,' she said in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.'While strengthening the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will not alleviate all of the challenges low-income families are facing during the public health emergency, it will help ensure that fewer children go to bed hungry in our country.' It comes after Angelina penned an article about the increase in child abuse amidst the pandemic.Writing in an op-ed, she said: 'Isolating a victim from family and friends is a well-known tactic of control by abusers, meaning that the social distancing that is necessary to stop COVID-19 is one that will inadvertently fuel a direct rise in trauma and suffering for vulnerable children. 'There are already reports of a surge in domestic violence around the world, including violent killings,' said the ex-wife of Brad Pitt.'It comes at a time when children are deprived of the very support networks that help them cope: from their trusted friends and teachers to after-school sports activities and visits to a beloved relative's house that provide an escape from their abusive environment.'COVID-19 has cut children off from their friends, their regular schooling and their freedom of movement. 'With well over a billion young people living under lockdown worldwide, there has been a lot of focus on how to prevent children missing out on their education, as well as how to lift their spirits and keep them joyful in isolation.'This comes after she said it was 'impossible' to be a 'perfect' parent.
The 'star has Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11, with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, and has said parenting her children during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has taught her it's not possible to 'answer all needs' all the time.She said: 'Now, in the midst of this pandemic, I think of all the mothers and fathers with children at home. All hoping they can do everything right, answer all needs, and stay calm and positive. One thing that has helped me is to know that's impossible.'Angelina insisted children 'don't want' their parents to be 'perfect', as long as they can be 'honest' about their mistakes.She added: 'It is a lovely thing to discover that your children don't want you perfect. They just want you honest. And doing your best. In fact, the more room they have to be great where you are weak, the stronger they may become. They love you. They want to help you. So in the end, it's the team you build. And in a way, they are raising you up too. You grow together.'The 44-year-old star also reflected on her 'decision to become a parent' when she adopted Maddox from Cambodia in 2002, and said it 'wasn't hard' to 'dedicate' her life to another human being.Writing in TIME magazine's Parents newsletter, she said: 'I remember the decision to become a parent. It wasn't hard to love. It wasn't hard to dedicate myself to someone and something greater than my life. What was hard was knowing that from now on I needed to be the one to make sure everything was OK. To manage it and make it work. From food to school to medical. Whatever would come. And to be patient.'I realized I stopped my constant daydreaming, instead staying always ready for any break into what I was doing or thinking to answer a need. It was a new skill to acquire.'

Chloe Grace Moretz was inspired by Angelina Jolie while playing the young vigilante Hit-Girl in 2010 action movie Kick-Ass.The young actress was "obsessed" with Jolie’s turn in the 2008 action thriller Wanted, and told her family that she wanted to play a role like that on the big screen."I actually looked at my brother and my mother and said, 'I would totally kill to have a role like that,'" Moretz told The Hollywood Reporter. "They were like, 'This doesn't happen for 11-year-olds. You don't get the option to play an Angelina Jolie-type character.'"However, just one week later, she got a call to audition for Hit-Girl in Matthew Vaughn's R-rated comic book caper Kick-Ass, and her dreams of a big-screen action hero role began to come true."He had kind of been on a road with someone else for a little while. I think I got an audition late in the game," the 23-year-old explained. "I got really lucky to get in front of him at that point in time."Moretz spent more than six months training with stunt house 87eleven in Los Angeles and Cirque du Soleil in Toronto, and also committed herself to a few months being taught Wushu, a martial art, by Kick-Ass stunt coordinator Brad Allan in London."By the time we got to filming, about 90 percent of it was me, except the big, big stunts, which I probably could have done, but we legally couldn't do them for insurance, because it was too risky," she shared.Moretz also sweetly recalled working with Hollywood icon Nicolas Cage, who played her on-screen father Big Daddy in the movie, with her adding, "We were super close and he was so sweet with me.”

Bright 2: Angelina Jolie Being Eyed For Villain

These days it may be common for Netflix to spend large sums of money on first-rate original talent projects, but given their growing power and influence in Hollywood, it’s easy to forget that the flow service has been in the business for a while over three years.Bright became one of the most viewed Netflix prototypes ever.Bright in 2017 saw them hire director David Ayer from the Suicide Squad box office, which exceeds $ 750 million to write a screenplay for Max Landis when it was still the screenwriter’s next big thing and they put Will Smith in charge in an ambitious detective film with a twist. The critical response didn’t turn out to be very broad, but a release almost during the holiday season, obtaining over eleven million streams in the first three days of its release.The sequel was announced in the same year:A sequel was announced the same month, with Ayer and Smith being the only confirmed ones to return with Joel Edgerton, but since then there has been little progress. The last specific news we heard was four months ago when Ayer confirmed it was still going on, but now we have said that Netflix is looking up when it comes to the cast of the evil.According to our sources – those who told us that Han was returning to the Fast & Furious series, a Green Lantern show is coming to HBO Max and Ryan Reynolds had a camera on Hobbs & Shaw, everything was fine – one of the names that examined to play the big villain in Bright 2 is Angelina Jolie. Details on the role are still rare, but from what we understand, he would be buried under the prosthesis like Orco, perhaps one with a connection with the character of Edgerton.
Angelina Jolie has appeared in several live appearances :Given the huge amount of money they have available, Netflix can afford anyone at this stage and Jolie is no stranger to the fantasy of the big-budget, having recently directed Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and her participation in The Eternity. However, in the past ten years, she has only made a handful of live appearances, and two of them were like Maleficent, so it would probably take a lot of persuasions or a lot of money on Netflix’s side to make the actress connected to Bright 2.But again, it’s not that they can’t afford it. Furthermore, they tell us that other stars on list A are on their list. Jolie is certainly the one they are most interested in, but with a little luck, they will be able to do it.
