Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Son Maddox Drops Pitt From His Last Name in Credits of New Film

  • Recently, Maddox dropped 'Pitt' from his surname in the credits for Angelina Jolie's film Couture, appearing as Maddox Jolie and serving as assistant director.
  • Following the legal and custody disputes, Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, and their children have since distanced themselves from Pitt, contributing to family estrangement.
  • As recently as 2024, Maddox was listed on Netflix's Maria, showing prior use of the combined surname before his current credit change.
  • Sources report that Brad Pitt was aware and upset about his children's name changes, but insiders say he remains hopeful about reconnecting despite the family's emotional difficulty.
  • Across siblings, several have publicly dropped or shortened 'Pitt' in settings like Zahara at a sorority event and Vivienne and Shiloh in Playbills, indicating a broader distancing pattern.
