Angelina Jolie’s Blonde Bombshell: Unveiling Her Striking New Look for Anxious People

Hi, I’m Elena West, and I’m here to spill the tea on the most epic celebrity transformation of the year. Get ready—this is BIG. Angelina Jolie has just unveiled a dramatic bright blonde bob on the London set of Anxious People, an adaptation of Fredrik Backman’s novel costarring Aimee Lou Wood and Jason Segel.

This stunning new look is not just a hair change; it’s a game-changer. The Oscar winner ditched her signature long dark locks for a short golden bob while filming Anxious People in London on September 3. Joined by her 24-year-old son Maddox, Angelina made her way through the set in a cream-colored shawl and a matching midi dress. Her dramatic look was completed with white heels, a skinny silk scarf, and a brass broach.

But what’s even more interesting is that Maddox has had a history of being involved with his mom’s film projects. In fact, he played a vital part in preparing Angelina for her role as a director in the 2017 Cambodian biopic First They Killed My Father. “I wanted him to research and I wanted him to help me, because of the child’s point of view also he was very useful,” Angelina said of Maddox in a 2017 interview with Variety.

Maddox has always been close to his mom and has been involved in her work for years. He even signed on as executive producer for First They Killed My Father, the film adaptation of her friend Loung Ung’s book about the Cambodian genocide by the Khmer Rouge regime. “I was trying to help wherever I could,” he told People of the role. As for his boss, aka mom, he’s “fun, funny, and easy to work with,” he said.

Angelina Jolie is also mom to kids Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, as well as twins Knox and Vivienne, 17, with ex Brad Pitt. For a guide to all of Angelina’s kids, let’s take a closer look at each of them.

Maddox, born on August 5, 2001, was adopted from Cambodia. Angelina Jolie fell in love with the country while filming 2001’s Tomb Raider and paid a visit to an orphanage in the provincial town of Battambang in the hopes of finding her first child. Walking through, “I didn’t feel a connection with any of them,” she later told Vanity Fair, until she saw Maddox—born on August 5, 2001—lying in a box suspended from the ceiling.

Feeling that bond in an instant, she said, “I cried and cried.” Though the then-26-year-old adopted her eldest son as a single mother, after she began dating future husband Brad Pitt, he started the process to adopt him as well.

Pax, born on November 29, 2003, spent three-and-a-half years of his life in one place, in one room, in this one little iron bed with 20 other kids, and having no choice for himself to do things, having no freedom, Angelina told MSN in 2007 of Pax’s early years in an orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Living with Maddox and sisters Zahara and Shiloh, “suddenly, here he is in a very free situation with new brothers and sisters and a mom and dad,” Angelina continued.

As for Maddox’s education, he studied biochemistry at South Korea’s Yonsei University, a choice his mom said she “could not be happier about”. He even attended a state dinner at the White House in April 2023 when President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden hosted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee.

Now, let’s get back to Angelina’s new look. This blonde bob is a major departure from her usual style, and we can’t help but wonder—what’s next for this Hollywood icon? With her new look and her upcoming role in Anxious People, one thing is certain: Angelina Jolie is back and better than ever.
