Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's youngest son, Knox Jolie, has largely stayed out of the spotlight over the years. However, the teenager recently caught public attention after making a rare appearance with his mother, with many fans noting how much he resembles his famous father.
Now standing at around six feet tall, Knox has drawn comparisons to Brad Pitt for his facial features, height, and laid-back style. Photos from recent outings quickly circulated online, prompting fans to comment on the striking family resemblance despite the ongoing distance between Pitt and several of his children.
At the same time, speculation has resurfaced about the family's surnames. Some media reports have suggested that Knox has chosen to use "Jolie" rather than "Jolie-Pitt" in certain informal settings, fueling headlines that he has "erased" his father's surname. However, there has been no public confirmation that Knox has legally changed his name or officially dropped "Pitt" from his surname.
The renewed attention follows similar developments involving his sister, Shiloh, who legally removed "Pitt" from her last name after turning 18. Several of the Jolie-Pitt children have also reportedly used "Jolie" in public or professional settings, though their individual choices have not always involved legal name changes.
Brad Pitt has not publicly addressed reports regarding Knox's surname. Entertainment outlets citing anonymous sources have previously reported that Pitt remains hopeful of repairing his relationships with his children despite years of family tensions following his 2016 separation from Angelina Jolie.
