He may only be 17, but Knox Jolie-Pitt is already making a name for himself — and turning heads in a way that will have Brad Pitt fans doing a serious double-take.
The teenager, son of Brad and Angelina Jolie, stepped into the ring on Friday night for an exhibition Muay Thai fight at a club in Downtown Los Angeles, and the footage is giving viewers a serious case of déjà vu. With his composed stance and willingness to throw — and take — a punch, Knox looked every inch his father's son, echoing Brad's iconic bare-knuckle scenes in the 1999 cult classic Fight Club.
Like Father, Like Son
Knox, who is the youngest of Brad and Angelina's biological children and the twin brother of Vivienne, has been quietly building a serious passion for Muay Thai over the past couple of years. He's regularly spotted training in Los Angeles and competing at technical tournaments — a far cry from the red carpets and film sets that defined his parents' rise to fame.
In the footage from Friday's bout, Knox holds his own with impressive composure, absorbing hits and firing back with his own strikes. For a teenager still finding his feet in the world, it's a remarkably assured performance.
He takes a hit here and there, but he maintains composure and is able to deal his own blows.
Sister Vivienne has been a loyal supporter throughout his martial arts journey, cheering him on from the sidelines at competitions — a sweet sibling moment amid what has otherwise been a turbulent few years for the Jolie-Pitt family.
Orange Hair and All the Attitude
Knox was last spotted leaving a Muay Thai class in LA over Memorial Day weekend, turning heads with a striking shock of bright orange hair. It's safe to say he's not exactly flying under the radar — and doesn't seem to want to.
While plenty of celebrity offspring follow their parents straight into acting or music, Knox appears to be carving out an entirely different path. And honestly? Watching him in that ring, focused and fearless, it's hard to argue with the direction he's heading. Brad Pitt spent decades perfecting the art of looking cool under pressure on screen — his son is doing it for real.
