Comparisons Between Brad Pitt and His Son Knox Exploded
Fans felt Knox was channeling his famous dad when he rocked the frosted platinum tips.
Photos of the outing quickly went viral, with many likening Knox to his dad.
"You can see it in the jawline and the vibe... genetics did all the work. Zahara's grad looks like a movie scene," one critic wrote via X, while another added, "Looks exactly like him that’s wild."
"Well Brad Pitt is his dad. It's definitely there in the genes," a third added.
Brad Pitt Remains Estranged From His Children
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcomed six children throughout their romance.
Brad has been estranged from the six children he shares with his ex-wife following their 2016 split. The World War Z actor was reportedly trying to make amends with his youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, ahead of their 17th birthday last July.
According to an insider, the movie star "knows the chance...is remote to say the least," but he is "desperate" for "one final shot to get together" with the teens.
Brad was reportedly "devastated" when Shiloh dropped Pitt from her last name in 2024 and "got the message loud and clear."
"He will always believe and always hope there is a chance to be back with all of them, and he doesn’t want to think otherwise," a separate insider said of the fractured family relationship. "He doesn’t want to give up, he’s not that kind of guy, he’s not that kind of father. He is a proud father, and he would be happy to have them see that eventually."
