Knox Jolie-Pitt recently made an unexpected red-carpet appearance, captivating fans with his striking eyes and drawing comparisons to his father, Brad Pitt.

A side-by-side picture of Knox at 11 years old and 16 during his recent red carpet appearance was posted online and captioned, “Knox Jolie Pitt has just made an UNEXPECTED RED CARPET APPEARANCE, a first in years. He turned 16 and already has a mustache. 😍😍😍.” AmoMama readers quickly reacted, with many captivated by his current look.

One admirer couldn’t help but point out the resemblance, saying, “He’s got the same beautiful, seductive eyes she has.” Another reader, however, found the eyes slightly unsettling and shared, “A little creepy to me.”

Someone else was taken by Knox’s appearance, remarking “Beautiful eyes, handsome young man.” An AmoMama user enthusiastically declared, “Those are Brad Pitt’s eyes!!!👀😁🥰.” Finally, a reader summed it up with a glowing observation, “He is a handsome young man and such pretty eyes.”

When Knox was seven, Brad took him to the 2015 British motorcycle Grand Prix, aka the MotoGP World Championship, at Silverstone in Northampton, England. Their striking resemblance stood out as they posed for pictures watching the game together.

Angelina Jolie doesn’t expect her kids to become actors, having previously said, “I think they’re especially shy, very private people and they want to be private.”

The 49-year-old looked radiant in a stunning dress at the 2024 Governors Awards in Hollywood. However, it was her lookalike son, Knox, who stole the show with his handsome features.

The “Maleficent” star donned a striking, thin-strapped halter neck gown that was gold and pale yellow. Her floor-length dress featured lace hemlines. In addition to its halter neck design, the gown was fastened together with straps on each side that connected in the middle of Angelina’s back.

She accessorized with glamorous diamonds, including dangling silver earrings that had flecks of gold, and an extravagant necklace.

Completing her look, Angelina fashioned her dark tresses into a half-up, half-down hairstyle, and left a few strands loosely framing her face, which was adorned with light makeup.

Online photos show the mother-son duo posing on the carpet with their arms interlinked. In most of them, Knox flashed his pearly white teeth, while Angelina showcased a more demure smile.

Social media users who saw the media of Angelina and Knox marveled at the striking resemblance he shares with his mom and praised the teen’s looks. “This is like her male version 😂,” remarked an Instagrammer. Another echoed, “He looks like her,” while someone else reiterated, “Omg he looks exactly like mom.”

Taking the mother-son lookalike comments further, other netizens expressed how Knox looks nothing like his famous dad, with one user observing, “Wow the Jolie genes are strong in this child, I don’t see Brad at all.”

On the other hand, an Instagrammer expressed, “All I see is Brad but with her lips and hair colour [sic]. He is a very handsome young man.” Some people took a more balanced approach, opining how Knox resembles both his parents.

“A perfect mix of both parents and he’s so big now,” asserted a Facebooker, while another agreed, “Looks like a handsome combination of both parents.”

Knox’s appearance at the Governors Awards comes three years after he was last spotted at an industry event. On October 27, 2021, he, along with four of his siblings accompanied their mom to the U.K. premiere of “The Eternals” in London.

Vivienne, Shiloh, and Zahara Jolie all looked beautiful in their white, black-and-white, and yellow dresses, respectively. Meanwhile, Knox and his brother Maddox looked dapper in their dark-colored outfits.

Knox sported a checkered blazer, graphic t-shirt, and black pants, while Maddox wore a gray suit jacket, a black button-down shirt, jeans, and spectacles.

While catching up with Entertainment Tonight’s Denny Directo at the AFI Fest premiere of her film “Maria” in October, Angelina spoke about what it’s like to see her kids working on projects, some of which have been in collaboration with her.

She continued, “I love living this life with them, and watching them just do and be all the things that they are; uniquely different people, and yeah, very happy.”
