Brad Pitt‘s genes remain unmistakable in the appearance of his son, despite the fractured relationship he shares with his family.
During a recent outing over the weekend, the actor’s son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, was spotted looking like the spitting image of the “F1” star, especially while sporting a look that his father once made popular.
This comes amid the ongoing battle between Brad Pitt and his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, over their French winery, Château Miraval.
Over the weekend, Brad Pitt’s ex, Angelina Jolie, and their son made a rare public appearance together as they attended the graduation of his sister, Zahara, from Spelman College.
They were also joined by the older sons, Pax, 22, and Maddox, 24, but Knox drew the most attention due to how much he resembled his estranged father.
As seen in photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the teenager sported a bold new look, with his dark hair accented by frosted platinum tips.
The style mirrored one that his father had made popular in the early 2000s, although it remains unclear whether the 17-year-old drew inspiration for the hairstyle from him.
Knox also dressed semi-formally for the occasion, donning an ash-colored suit, off-white trousers, and a white inner shirt. He wore no tie with the outfit, kept the suit open, and left his shirt untucked in a fashionable manner. He also complemented the outfit with light-colored casual shoes.
Knox Jolie-Pitt Has Drawn Attention In The Past Over Looking Like His Movie Star Father
On several occasions over the years, Knox has drawn attention for how much he resembles his father.
One such instance came in June 2025, when he stepped out with his sister, Vivienne, in Los Angeles for a visit to a local grocery store.
At the time, Knox closely resembled a younger version of his father, sporting a low haircut similar to the style Pitt wore while starring alongside Angelina Jolie in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”
In 2024, he was also photographed in Los Angeles preparing for a boxing match, prompting many fans to reminisce about Pitt’s role in the cult classic Fight Club. The 17-year-old is known to actively participate in Muay Thai and has won medals in various competitions.
In many of these competitions, he has had the support of his family cheering from the stands, excluding Pitt, whom the teenager has not been seen with publicly for quite some time.
Knox Jolie-Pitt And Brad Pitt Have Not Been Seen Together In Public For Years
According to reports, Knox was last publicly seen with his father at Haneda International Airport while departing Tokyo, Japan, in July 2013.
Three years after that appearance, Pitt and Jolie officially separated, citing irreconcilable differences following an alleged physical altercation on a private jet. Their divorce was finalized in 2024.
Since the separation, Pitt’s relationship with his children is reported to have become increasingly strained.
Several of the children have also stopped using his surname as a way of distancing themselves from their father.
Knox Jolie-Pitt Has Not Yet Dropped His Father’s Name, Unlike Most Of His Siblings
As a reflection of their strained ties, Pitt’s eldest son, Maddox, did not use the actor’s surname in the credits and production notes of Jolie’s 2026 film “Couture,” where he worked as an assistant director.
Vivienne, Knox’s twin sister, also omitted her father’s surname in a 2024 Playbill for “The Outsiders,” a production she worked on alongside her mother.
Zahara opted to use his name during a sorority event at her college and even while recently receiving her diploma.
Shiloh has done the same and also took things further by filing a legal petition in 2024 to formally remove “Pitt” from her name. As of now, Knox appears to be the only one of their children still using their father’s last name.
Brad Pitt Is Desperate To Reconcile With His Younger Kids
Knox, not yet dropping his father’s surname, appears to leave room for a possible reconciliation, which is something Pitt is open to.
According to the Daily Mail, he is said to be desperate to reconcile with both Knox and Vivienne, despite being aware that she has already dropped his surname.
“He will always believe and always hope there is a chance to be back with all of them, and he doesn’t want to think otherwise,” a source told the outlet.
“He doesn’t want to give up, he’s not that kind of guy, he’s not that kind of father. He is a proud father, and he would be happy to have them see that eventually,” a second source added.
