Angelina Jolie put on a chic display as she joined her son, Pax, for a lowkey outing in New York City on Tuesday. The Maleficent actress, 49 - who recently went Instagram official with British rapper 'boyfriend' Akala - strolled alongside her 20-year-old son before grabbing lunch at Rubirosa in Soho. The pair's outing comes nearly three months after Pax's horrific e-bike accident that took place in Los Angeles on July 29 - and resulted in him suffering from 'complex trauma.' Jolie showed off her early fall style in a long, black coat as well as a black ensemble underneath. She slipped into a pair of closed-toed, black pumps and easily carried a black purse with a gold-chained strap over her left shoulder. Angelina's long locks were parted in the middle, and fell down straight past her shoulders. The star opted for minimal accessories and added a pair of dainty earrings as well as a pair of brown shades for a finishing touch.Pax could be seen next to his mother as they made their way towards the restaurant and sported a gray coat that was left unbuttoned at the front. He donned a plain white shirt as well as dark pants and white sneakers to stay comfortable during the daytime excursion. To complete his overall look, Pax added a fuzzy brown cap on top of his head - after revealing forehead scars on the TIFF red carpet last month following his accident. The incident occurred in late July in the Los Feliz neighborhood in L.A. around 5p.m. during rush hour when he crashed into a car while on his e-bike. At the time, he was not wearing a helmet and regained consciousness after paramedics had arrived to the scene. The crash took place near Angelina's home - and the actress rushed to the hospital to be by her son's side. However, Pax has previously been involved in past accidents prior to the July incident - and it was reported two months before, he 'totaled' his Tesla. A source alleged to Page Six, 'His friends are concerned about him. He's being reckless. They're worried.''He has had a string of car crashes. It's not great. Pax is a troubled kid, and Angelina is doing her best to help him.'
Following the crash, a source informed DailyMail.com that Angelina 'had a top plastic surgeon' look at Pax's facial injury. 'Angie wanted to make sure Pax did not have a terrible scar on his face so she asked a top plastic surgeon in Los Angeles to look at him and take care of it.' The insider added, 'She is a very hands on mother and does whatever she can for her kids. She made the call herself and was there during the consultation.' Back in August, Pax was released from the ICU with a separate source telling People, 'He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy.' The insider added that both Angelina and her son 'are deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received.' Along with attending TIFF with his mother, Pax recently joined Angelia once again on the red carpet over the weekend at the screening of her latest film, Maria. Pax's two other siblings also dressed to impress during the premiere, including Zahara, 19, and Maddox, 22. Angelia is mother to Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 - whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt. She also adopted Pax, Zahara and Maddox during their relationship. Maria - which is a biopic based on singer Maria Callas - is slated to officially release on Netflix later this year on December 11. The premise of the film, directed by Pablo Larrain, follows, 'the life story of the world's greatest opera singer, Maria Callas, during her final days in 1970s Paris,' per the official IMDB synopsis. According to Deadline, Jolie recently opened up about taking on the role and expressed, 'this kind of work is not asked of me very often.' 'And if it's asked of me, it's not often with this kind of material and this director, so these things come once in a Iifetime.'
Angelina has been keeping busy, and recently posted a photo to the Instagram page for her company called Atelier Jolie. In an image, her rumored boyfriend and political activist, Akala, could be seen - with the actress seemingly going official with the British-born rapper. He also notably joined Angelina at the screening of her movie, Maria, during the 62nd New York Film Festival over the past weekend. And also on Tuesday, Jolie was spotted stepping out once again in the Big Apple wearing the same, all-black outfit from earlier in the day. She held a small smile on her face as she left her hotel in NYC before heading to the DGA Theater for another screening of her film, Maria. The beauty was later seen arriving to the theater as she stepped out of a sleek, black SUV. Angelina sent a friendly wave towards awaiting fans nearby while also flashing a cheerful grin.

An eyewitness shared at the time that Akala was 'very protective of them as he shepherded them around.'They enjoyed dinner together in Milan six months later, In Touch also claimed. In addition to Zahara and Shiloh, Jolie and her ex-husband Pitt share sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

Akala - born Kingslee James McLean Daley - started out as a rapper before moving into political activism, endorsing former Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election. His older sister is also the famous singer and rapper Ms. Dynamite. Ms. Dynamite, 43 - real name Niomi Arleen McLean-Daley - enjoyed a string of hits in the early 2000s with her debut album A Little Deeper, which won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.
Akala is reportedly in a relationship with Chanelle Newman who is co-founder and executive producer of Akala's music and the Hip-hop Shakespeare Company.

Angelina Jolie looked on proudly as her close friend Akala and son Pax shared a sweet embrace at Maria premiere in New York on Sunday night. The actress, 49, attended the premiere of her new film Maria with her sons Pax, 20,and Maddox, 23, and daughter Zahara, 19, during the 62nd New York Film Festival. And shortly after the star-studded night, Angelina was overcome with joy as she watched Akala, 40, and Pax hug.In recent months, Angelina sparked romance rumours with British rapper Akala after the pair were seen emerging from her hotel in Italy during Venice Film Festival. However, sources confirmed that the couple are not an item, with an insider telling that Angelina 'is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle [Newman] who was also there'.In the wake of her bitter split from Brad Pitt, Angelina grew close with the rapper and political activist. Yet the pair do share a strong bond, with a second source stating: 'They share the same passion when it comes to social and humanitarian causes.'They did several collabs over the years that focus on global issues like human rights. Angie speaks very highly of him.' It had been claimed by In Touch that the actress had been privately seeing the musician for 'more than a year'. However, People's source claimed Angelina is 'currently single and not dating seriously'. MailOnline contacted Angelina's representatives for comment at the time. It seems Angelina's children are also fond of the rapper following Pax's encounter with him at the premiere. Pax appeared in great spirits following the horrific e-bike accident he was involved in this past July, which landed him in the hospital.The actress wowed in an elegant white dress with a pleated skirt, which she paired with peep-toe black heels.
Her daughter Zahara matched her in a silk white dress. Maddox rocked a classic black suit, while Pax sported a grey one, as well as a black wrist brace.Missing from action were her three younger kids, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16, whom she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60. The pair have been involved in a bitter ongoing divorce battle since their split in 2016. Angelina's sons also worked in the AD department on the set of Maria — directed by Pablo Larraín — and she admitted the work is good for them. She told The Hollywood Reporter: 'They've done that quite a few times, and I think that's good for them. Pax tends to do stills and he gets brought in, and Pablo was wonderful and recognized that he was good at it'. The actress was also grateful to have her sons around to support her because playing opera start Maria Callas was so emotionally exhausting.She added: 'It really meant a lot that my boys were with me on Maria. When I would have really heavy times, they would come over and just give me a hug or a cup of tea.' 'That was probably one of the more intense things was that - usually when I'm expressing that much pain, it's not in front of my children. You really try to hide from your children how much pain and sadness you carry.' 'And so for them to be with you when you're expressing it at such a level, I think it was the first time they ever heard me cry like that. That's usually for the shower.' The first trailer for Maria dropped last week. The film opens in the last days of the soprano's life and looks back on all the triumphs and tragedies along the way. Callas died of a heart attack at her Paris home on September 16, 1977. She was 53. Angelina said that roles like Callas come along 'once in a lifetime,' adding, 'I mean, it’s certainly the most challenging,' Deadline reported. To portray the opera singer, Jolie spent seven months learning six of the late singer's most famous arias.

Jolie's son Pax Jolie-Pitt also shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot.Inside the issue, The Eternals actress spoke about her side hustle, Atelier Jolie. 'Over the years, I've seen fashion dictated by trends and anointed arbiters of taste,' said the mother of six.'But to look inward and dress for oneself—to truly express oneself with creativity and resourcefulness—is a useful rebellion in this modern age.'And she shared that though she can be serious she also has a fun side: 'I like to be silly and love good standup comedy.'Also in the magazine - which can be pre-ordered - Jolie shared that she has not seen all of her movies and that 'some' of her children have already gotten tattoos. And Jolie added she was happy to launch Atelier Jolie because it is 'exciting' to see what happens when 'artists collaborate.' Carine Roitfeld interviewed Jolie and her first question was about why she started Atelier Jolie.'My intention was to build a space—a home, really—for people to create and be inspired. The house is comprised of artists and designers from around the world, and at the heart is an invitation to re-engage in design and build community,' said the star, whose next movie is about Maria Callas. And she said her late mother Marcheline Bertrand has been her inspiration.'My mother was a very globally minded, thoughtful person, who often spoke to me about injustice,' said the Tomb Raider star. 'When I was in my twenties, I started to travel and realized how much I had not been taught in school or was aware of.'I began my education, or reeducation rather, then. I began traveling to areas of conflict and post-conflict. Listening. Learning. My world view is very much shaped by refugee families, and I have so much respect for them. I hate it when I see the media and politicians using these families for their own gain. No one would choose that life. We are honored to have Eat Off Beat in residence. They are a refugee chef collective, and wonderful to work with.''Introducing the first cover of CR Love & Fantasies, featuring legendary @angelinajolie,' a caption for the cover shared on Instagram read.'Inside our Fall/Winter 2024 issue, Jolie speaks with CR's EIC @carineroitfeld about how her creative collective @atelierjolieofficial is a home for artists.'On the cover, Jolie wears the @atelierjolieofficial x @zarifnyc limited capsule collection, designed by Jolie and Zarif founder Zolay Sherzad.

Angelina Jolie - who turns 50 next year - says she LIKES becoming an 'older woman' as she has already 'embraced' aging

Angelina Jolie has embraced becoming an 'older woman.'The 49-year-old actress - who plays opera singer Maria Callas in the biographical drama film Maria - has explained how particular aspects of the movie chimed with her own reality.Speaking to IndieWire, Angelina said: 'I'm 49. I do feel like an older woman now and I embrace that.Jolie - who is still in a painful custody battle with ex Brad Pitt - then spoke of the importance of opera to help deal with emotions.'When I was younger, there were certain pieces of music and certain sounds that matched what I was feeling: I was falling in love, or I was curious about this, or whatever I was going through.'There is nothing that meets what you're feeling like opera,' she added.'[Some pieces] are so beautiful, so full of hope and so full of yearning,' added the Oscar-winning star.'Opera is bigger. It is bigger than we allow ourselves to feel in every moment.'Angelina wasn't very familiar with opera music before she began shooting Maria.The Tomb Raider actress admitted: 'I grew up in America. 'In other countries, they understand how essential and important it is, and it's much more a part of the culture, but not where I was raised [Los Angeles].'I had been introduced to [Maria] but it was a complete discovery of this new art form, to come in and transform my life and teach me all of the different operas.'I hope that most people however they relate to the film go into a discovery and they let themselves feel it and they try to sing it. If I can do it…'Angelina recently revealed that she spent 'months' preparing to sing in Maria.
The actress said at the Telluride Film Festival: 'I had seven months of opera classes, great teachers and Italian classes, and a supportive team that were going to help me.'This comes after Angelina said she is actually soft.When at the Venice Film Festival she was asked by a reporter how she related to Callas.'I think the way I related to her may be a surprise — [it was] probably the part of her that's extremely soft,' said Jolie at a panel on Thursday, according to People.The star continued, 'And she doesn't have room in the world to be as soft as she truly was, and as emotionally open as she truly was.'Jolie was hinting that she has hidden her soft side due to her enormous fame. This comes after Jolie shed tears when she received an eight minute standing ovation for her film Maria.The mother of six was seen wiping away tears as the claps continued. Jolie also said during her panel that she worked very hard to star as Callas in a movie.She said she spent almost seven months training her voice so she could sing opera because she does not want to 'disappoint' Maria's fans.And she was asked about the word diva, which is what Callas was called.'I think it's often come with a lot of negative connotations,' said Jolie.'I think I've re-learned that word through Maria... and I have a new relationship to it.'I think it is often other people's perception of a woman that defines, sometimes too much, who she is and who she was, or what she intended,' she added.'And I actually think [Maria] was one of the hardest-working people, who didn't hurt anybody.'So I suppose it's everybody in this room that makes that definition sometimes, but the true definition may be [that] the great composers define it differently,' Jolie said.
Netflix has acquired the rights to Maria, but a release date has not yet been announced. Earlier Jolie said she got her sons to block the door of her rehearsal room when she was training to sing like Maria Callas.The Maleficent actress said: 'Everybody here knows I was terribly nervous about the singing. 'I spent almost seven months training because when you work with (director) Pablo (Larrain) you can't do anything by half.'He demands in a most wonderful way that that you really do the work and really learn and train.'My first time singing I was so nervous that my sons were there and they helped to block the door so that nobody else was coming in.'And I was shaky. Pablo in his decency started me in a small room and ended me in La Scala.'So he gave me a time to grow. I was frightened to live up to her and you know I had not sung in public.'Angelina plays Maria when the singing icon was nearing death and losing her voice.The opera legend is still idolized as the greatest voice in the history of opera and died in 1977 aged 53 after a spell of illness and isolation.
