She has starred in numerous acclaimed films and blockbusters over the years.
But Angelina Jolie has revealed her daughter Vivienne Jolie–Pitt, 15, is much more of a theater aficionado than a cinephile — and she ended up being a ‘tough ᴀssistant’ to her on her latest theatre project.
The 48-year-old Oscar winner shared on Thursday at the Broadway premiere of the musical adaptation of The Outsiders — which she produced — that Vivienne was the ‘biggest theatre head’ of the family, according to People.
‘Viv. Definitely Viv,’ she reiterated, while Justin Levine, who wrote the book and score to The Outsiders, chimed in: ‘Definitely Viv.’
‘Hands down,’ the By The Sea filmmaker concurred as she arrived at the premiere with Vivienne and her son Pax Jolie–Pitt, 20.
Angelina added that her daughter — a fraternal twin to son Knox — was a taskmaster for her.
‘She’ll correct me. She’ll say, “Didn’t you read the memo? We have to do this, we have to go through this,”‘ she recalled.
‘She’s been a really tough ᴀssistant,’ Angelina joked. ‘She takes it very, very seriously.’
Vivienne, whom she shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, took on The Outsiders after it was previously adapted as a critically acclaimed 1983 film by director Francis Ford Coppola, based on the 1967 novel by S.E. Hinton.
The film featured a number of actors just at the start of their careers who would be labeled as part of the ‘brat pack,’ a group of rising stars who often acted together, including Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, as well as supplemental members Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze and Ralph Macchio.
Jolie’s youngest daughter was primed to work on The Outsiders after she caught another production in San Diego.
Jolie was seen walking up to the theater with Pax by her side while wowing in a shimmering metallic gold gown teamed with a rust-hued cape.
The star wore her blonde locks in soft waves and sported smoky eye make-up and red lipstick.
