Angelina Jolie Stuns In A Black Lace Top And Sleek Monochromatic Ensemble For Outsiders Musical Preview In NYC
As for her lookalike daughter, Jolie-Pitt donned a comfy sky-blue Nike hoodie as seen in new pics taken backstage with her mother and actor Matt Dillon, who starred in the 1983 Outsiders film based on the 1967 novel by S.E. Hinton.
Jolie disclosed in a statement last year that her daughter had developed an interest in theater. Now, the two are collaborating on the musical (with the Girl, Interrupted alum serving as a lead producer) after the teen was mesmerized by a recent production of The Outsiders in San Diego.
"Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives," Jolie said in a statement last year, as reported by The Daily Mail.
The Maleficent star continued: "She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute." Jolie shares Vivienne with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
The former couple are also parents to five other children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and Knox, 15.
Regarding her forthcoming project with her child, Jolie gushed: "'I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse. I can't begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world."
The legal battle between Jolie and Pitt, 60, has surpassed the length of their marriage and their iconic 'Brangelina' era. Since their separation in September 2016, the duo (who were together for 12 years) have been engaged in a bitter custody battle over their six children.
The divorce process has been ongoing for some time, during which several of their kids have come of age. Furthermore, the ownership of their Château Miraval winery and estate has become a point of contention between the two.
Pitt's representatives have accused Jolie of breaching an informal agreement by selling her shares, a claim that Jolie has refuted.
More recently, the Los Angeles Times reported this month that Jolie's team had filed a new motion requesting Pitt's communications in regards to an "all-encompassing" NDA.
According to the filing, Pitt's lawsuit is indicative of his "unrelenting efforts to control and financially drain" Jolie and "attempting to hide his history of abuse, control and coverup" allegations of domestic abuse against him.
The ongoing Miraval lawsuit remains pertinent to the unconfirmed dissolution of their marriage, as the sordid specifics of their separation have yet to be resolved.
