Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Vivienne ditches dad's last name in Playbill for ‘The Outsiders’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Vivienne Jolie-Pitt has seemingly dropped her father, Brad Pitt's last name, and has now chosen to only use 'Jolie' from her mother, Angelina Jolie.
The change was noticed in the Playbill for 'The Outsiders'. The surname was dropped following the long-standing legal battle between Angelina and Brad after they filed for divorce. Vivienne followed the footsteps of her older sister Zahara, who also decided to cease using her father's name.

Vivienne, 15, was no longer labeled as Vivienne Jolie-Pitt on the Playbill for the newest Broadway musical, 'The Outsiders,' which Angelina produced with Vivienne's assistance and which just received multiple Tony nominations. Instead, she was listed as simply Vivienne Jolie.
The Playbill also gives a bit more insight into the teen's personal life, revealing that she is currently a theater student.
About her daughter, Angelina once said to Hello Magazine, "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."
