How is the current life of the Vietnamese boy who was adopted by Hollywood’s most famous female star 17 years ago?

The boy from years ago has now become a strong, masculine 20-year-old man.

Pax Thien (real name Pham Quang Sang, born in 2003) is the adopted son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Being adopted by two famous Hollywood artists, it is not difficult to understand that from a young age, he as well as other siblings in the family were enthusiastically interested and sought after by the media.

Pax Thien as a child

Before having a full life like now, few people know that Pax Thien experienced a turbulent life in his childhood. Accordingly, he was born prematurely and weighed only 2.1kg. At just 2 days old, his mother abandoned him at the hospital, leaving behind only a birth certificate with the child’s name and an unpaid hospital fee. He was then taken to the Tam Binh Orphanage Protection Center (HCMC).

However, his fate really changed after being adopted by Angelina Jolie. According to Daily Mail , during a trip to Vietnam in 2006, Angelina Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt visited the orphanage where he was living. The couple was impressed with Sang because he was the only child who was afraid to run out and ask for candy like his friends.

Not long after that, Quang Sang was adopted by a famous Hollywood couple and given the new name Pax Thien – meaning “peaceful sky”. From here, the orphan boy’s life turned to a new page.

Even though his parents are famous stars, Pax Thien is quite introverted and does not like people paying too much attention. Every time he appears in front of a crowd, Pax Thien holds his parents’ hands tightly and stands behind to avoid everyone’s attention.

However, later thanks to Angelina Jolie’s love, Pax Thien gradually changed as he became more confident and mature. He gradually became a strong spiritual support for his mother and siblings. Pax Thien always “escorts” and protects her mother in all circumstances.

Not only does she promote freedom in educating her children, the “Hollywood lady” also makes many people admire her because she always teaches her children to “remember the source when drinking water”. Even though he left Vietnam at a young age, Pax Thien always had a deep love for his homeland. Even to help her child understand her country in the most authentic way, Angelina Jolie also hired a tutor to come home to teach Pax Thien Vietnamese and learn about her homeland’s culture with her child.

In June 2021, Pax Thien Chinh graduated from high school at a prestigious private school in Los Angeles (USA). According to some sources, Pax Thien once planned to study abroad in Korea. The school Pax Thien plans to attend is Yonsei University – a long-standing private university and also considered one of the three best universities in Korea.

However, Page Six not long ago reported that Pax Thien did not choose to go to college but pursued an artistic path. This surprised many people because no one thought he would think so differently from his brothers. He is passionate about art games (art in games). Pax Thien is currently active as a young artist.

At the present time, Pax Thien is a 20-year-old man with a healthy appearance and a masculine, angular face. He likes a sporty, slightly dusty, and dynamic style of clothing.
