Angelina Jolie willing to go to any lengths to launch children's careers: 'Aware of their potential'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: According to reports, Angelina Jolie will do "whatever it takes" to support her six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne—as they begin their careers.

Now that they are all adults, Jolie's children are constantly receiving offers and deals, and an insider revealed to In Touch Weekly that their famous mother is certain they have what it takes to become the biggest stars in the entertainment industry.

Angelina Jolie 'proud' to support her children in launching their careers

According to sources, the 'Maleficent' actress is now concentrating on supporting her children in their chosen fields of work, even if they choose to relocate overseas after her legal battle with Brad Pitt is resolved.

Speaking to In Touch, the source said, "Angelina’s very aware of the potential her kids have, she has no doubt they’re going to do great things."

The source continued by saying, "That being said, she’s never pushed them into anything, the last thing she wants is to see them flounder or be forced to do something they’re not passionate about, but she is carefully guiding their careers and setting them up, step by step."

Nepotism is nothing new in Hollywood. However, a supportive parent like Jolie, who "acknowledges that and is proud to be able to give her kids this kind of help, to her it’s much better than just using her connections – she wants to be there helping them learn."

The source said, "Angelina will do whatever it takes to help launch their careers,” the source insists, “As far as she’s concerned they’re the next generation. She’s very excited about all they will accomplish with her help."

The source also explained how Jolie is supporting each of her children, including Maddox, 23, who recently got an opening on his mother's next movie, 'Stitches', which is a great starting point for a career in Hollywood.

"Maddox is the perfect example, he’s worked behind the scenes on a lot of her projects and been her assistant in so many aspects and now he’s the third-assistant director on her next film," the insider said.

The insider said of Maddox, "He’s learning from the ground up, so that eventually, he’ll be ready to direct big feature films."

According to the insider, Pax, 21, "is on the same path" as his older brother, Maddox. "He’s got a huge interest in film and at the moment is looking to become a director of photography," the insider said.

"Angelina is nurturing Zahara’s dreams with just as much intention," the insider said, referring to the actress' 19-year-old daughter's "interest in politics and international relations, which of course thrills Angelina to no end."

Angelina Jolie will be 'strategic' with son Knox's career

The 'Maria' star's 16-year-old son Knox Jolie-Pitt's career in modeling and acting also seems to be on an upward trajectory with several offers knocking on his door, prompting the 49-year-old actress to take a “strategic” stand in the teenager's professional ambitions.

“Now that Knox and Shiloh are getting more comfortable in the spotlight, the sky's the limit for them, too," the source revealed.
