Jon Voight couldn't contain his excitement and pride as he shared his joy over his estranged daughter, Angelina Jolie, and his granddaughter, Vivienne, winning a Tony award for best musical last weekend. The veteran actor, known for his roles in iconic films, expressed his admiration for the mother-daughter duo's achievement in co-producing "The Outsiders."
Speaking to TMZ, Voight gushed, "It's amazing. [I'm] very proud of Vivienne and very proud of Angie because she really tries to encourage each of the kids to be what they want to be." This heartfelt moment showcases the bond between family members, celebrating each other's successes.
Vivienne, at just 15 years old, played a significant role in the success of "The Outsiders" on Broadway. Credited as an assistant and co-producer, she introduced her mother to the musical after being captivated by its pre-Broadway version near San Diego. Voight shared, "Vivienne read the book and then went down to see this pre-Broadway version close to San Diego. She went down four times and said, 'Mom, you've got to see this.' Angie was very interested. It showed something of Vivienne she'd never seen before."
At the 2024 Tony Awards, Vivienne and Jolie graced the red carpet in style, showcasing their close bond. The "Eternals" star stunned in a draped seafoam green velvet Atelier Versace gown, while Vivienne opted for a chic white collared shirt, teal-colored vest, trousers, and a bow tie. This mother-daughter duo not only shines in the entertainment industry but also in their fashion choices.
Vivienne is one of the six children Jolie shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt, highlighting the complexities and joys of modern family dynamics. The siblings, including Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, and Vivienne's twin, Knox, form a tight-knit unit despite the challenges they may face.
While Voight and Jolie have had their share of ups and downs over the years, this moment of celebration underscores the power of family bonds. Despite past conflicts and differences, the love and support between generations shine through, emphasizing the importance of cherishing family ties.
As families navigate through life's twists and turns, moments like these serve as reminders of the enduring love and pride that connect generations. Voight's words of admiration for his daughter and granddaughter echo the sentiments shared by many families worldwide, celebrating each other's victories and standing by each other through thick and thin.
