TOngelina Jolie, son Maddox and the US President Joe Biden: the trio was protagonist of a special evening at the White House on April 26. The Hollywood star and her son, whom she adopted in 2002, indeed attended a state dinner with the presidential couple, Joe and Jill Biden, to the South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol and to his wife, First Lady Kim Keon Hee. An event in which the famous mother and her son were “honored to participate”. And, of course, the attention was all on them.
Angelina Jolie and Maddox at dinner at the White House
The star’s presence in the White House has reasons. «Asia-America relations are important to Angelina’s family» revealed a source to the magazine People. “She and her children have had close ties to the region, including South Korea, for many years. Maddox studied at Yonsei University in Seoul. Angelina has visited South Korea many times for her humanitarian work in recent years».
No wonder, then, that mother and son attended this special dinner held at the White House. The visit of the South Korean leader and his wife, in fact, as reported in an official note from the presidential residence, «celebrates the 70th anniversary of the US-Korea alliance of the South which is critical to advancing peace, stability and prosperity for our two countries and throughout the world.
The looks of mother and son
For the occasion, the actress and director showed off a very elegant look with long total white dress and vintage jacket by Chanel. Dark suit and white shirt, instead, for Maddox.
Both were comfortable as they know South Korea well. Angelina Jolie, in fact, last visited Seoul in 2019, when Maddox started studying at Yonsei University. The year before, in 2018, still in South Korea, he met refugees on behalf of the United Nations agency UNHCR.
Maddox, Angelina’s beloved son
Angelina Jolie is very close to her six children, both natural and adopted. But with Maddox he has a very special bond. The boy is born in 2001 in Cambodia: she lived in an orphanage and the actress decided to adopt it having visited the country more than once. Mother and son have a lot in common. Maddox studied biochemistry in South Korea to get closer to the family of origin, but it seems that she also has a great passion for cinema and the camera. And it is precisely this that brings him closer to his mother Angelina, who even dedicated a film to him.
Not only. THEThe boy also has a charitable foundation in his name because, just like his mother, he is sensitive to humanitarian activism. Just Maddox, then, had a role in the separation of Jolie from Brad Pitt and testified against the father. It is no coincidence, therefore, that Angelina Jolie chooses to be accompanied by him in certain events. He was with her, even when she met Queen Elizabeth. Now the meeting with the US President. And he is only 21 years old.
