Shiloh Jolie Pitt comes from acting royalty, but why has she resisted a career in acting?

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is the ultimate nepo baby. She is the first biological daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. From the day of her birth, she has been exposed to the public eye, having graced the cover of People Magazine as an infant with her parents when they announced her birth. She has made headlines not only because of her lineage but also because of her unique style. She often opts for relaxed, tomboy attire when photographed on the red carpet with her mother.

Despite Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s glamorous lifestyle, she has remained surprisingly humble. She’s alleged to prefer life outside the limelight alongside her five siblings. Fans believe her father has been a massive influence in her decision to remain low-key, as it is mentioned in Hollywood that he tries to keep his children’s lives as normal as possible. But why else has Shiloh Jolie-Pitt resisted a career in acting?

The Real Reason Why Shiloh Jolie Pitt Rejected A Career In Acting

In the Jolie-Pitt household, their six children, Shiloh, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Knox, and Vivienne, were taught to embrace their personalities and express individuality. And from an early age, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt did just that by following the beat of her drum.

Although visually, she is a mixture of both of her famous parents, Angelina Jolie once told Vanity Fair that her first conceived child was the most similar to her when she was growing up.

Jolie explained that, in reality, Shiloh was playful, vocal, and a natural-born performer. Brad Pitt has also praised his daughters’ personality, once stating in an interview that as a child, Shiloh wanted to be called John instead of her birth name, a request he and Jolie happily obliged.

With her strong personality and innate acting abilities, fans of Jolie and Pitt wondered if their daughter might follow in their footsteps and become a famous actress, and for a time, things seemed to be leaning that way.

When Shiloh was just two years old, she briefly appeared in her dad’s film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which told the story of a man who ages backward. In the movie, Shiloh played 10-month-old Caroline, the baby of Cate Blanchette’s character Daisy and Brad Pitt’s title character.

Her acting career didn’t end then; several years later, she made a cameo in the animated film Kung Fu Panda 3 alongside her mother, Angelina Jolie. Shiloh voiced the character of a baby panda bear named Shuai Shuai, who lived alongside his siblings in a secret Panda Village.

Although both films Shiloh starred in were hits at the box office, she would not go on to grace the silver screen again, despite her mother’s efforts.

Angelina Jolie gave birth to three of her six children, but the actress has officially been done having biological children for a while.

When Angelina Jolie starred as the title character in the hit Disney film Maleficent, she wanted her eldest daughter to play a young Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty, in the movie. However, Shiloh rejected the role.

According to Fandom Wire, when Jolie approached her daughter to act alongside her in the live-action remake of Sleeping Beauty, Shiloh laughed in her face. Despite her rejection, the movie studios desperately wanted Shiloh in the film and scheduled her appearance.

However, according to US Weekly, Shiloh grew bored on the first day of filming and opted out of appearing in it again. Disappointed but accepting her daughter’s decision not to act in the film, Jolie had her youngest daughter, Vivienne, play as young Aurora.

What Is Shiloh Jolie Pitt Like In Real Life?

Despite her aversion to appearing in front of the camera, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has, according to insider sources, often expressed interest in the behind-the-scenes aspects of filmmaking and has even assisted her father when he has produced and directed films.

Shiloh shocked fans when she appeared on a popular YouTube dance channel created by famed choregrapher Hamilton Evans. The young star danced effortlessly alongside two background dancers to rapper Doja Cat’s hit song “Vegas”.

Immediately, fans flocked to the YouTube page to comment on how good of a dancer Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was, with many being surprised that she decided to take up dancing. Her well-crafted dance routine even made headline news, with many outlets branding her as talented and praising her for venturing into a realm so different from her parents’ acting careers.

According to In Touch Weekly, an insider close to Shiloh stated that her main love was dancing, especially to hip-hop tunes. They added that she particularly loved that she could vibe to the music and that dancing allowed her to feel free and express herself creatively.

As reported by OK Magazine, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is known among her large circle of family and friends as down-to-earth. One person close to the famous family also stated that Shiloh has worked for her own money instead of just relying on her parents’ massive net worth.

The source added that she has never cared for fancy, expensive, or flashy clothing and prefers to buy most of her clothes from vintage shops; they also described her as very mature for her age and someone who is friends with people from all walks of life.

Are Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt’s Other Children Actors?

Although Shiloh Jolie-Pitt most likely won’t enter a career in acting, what are Angelina Jolie’s and Brad Pitt’s other five children’s thoughts on the subject?

While Vivienne appeared alongside her mother as baby Aurora in Maleficent, she has not appeared in any more films. According to Jolie, Vivienne has expressed alongside her twin brother Knox that they did not want to pursue a career in acting. However, Angelina Jolie did hire her daughter as her assistant as she worked on producing a Broadway play.

Brad Pitt’s girlfriend Ines de Ramon has friends saying that the actor is serious about her, leaving fans to wonder how his children feel about her.

As for Jolie’s and Pitt’s other children, Maddox and Zahara have chosen to focus on college, with Maddox opting to study biochemistry at Yonsei University and Zahara majoring in liberal arts at Spelman College. Their other son, Pax, has also not expressed a desire to act, at least not publicly.
