Angelina Jolie says daughter Shiloh ‘hates’ the celebrity life: ‘It’s not a normal thing’

Fame is a drug that Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh is not interested in.

The “Maleficent” actress shared that while none of her children are looking to follow in her famous footsteps with acting, the 18-year-old is “extremely private.”

“They really don’t like any of the celebrity part of it, especially Shiloh hates it,” Jolie said during a panel at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Wednesday, per the Daily Mail.

“It’s not a normal thing. It’s a silly thing, really,” she added.

Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt — who settled their divorce in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle — share six kids: Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

The “Maria” star, 49, went on to explain that her children’s aversion to the spotlight was not from her influence.

“That’s not my doing,” she said. “I always wanted them to be around film because … it’s such a wonderful family, to be creative, to be an artist … They’re not interested.”

“Some of them dance, some of them paint, some of them love theater, but none of them are dying to be on screen,” Jolie added.

While they may not be itching to be in front of the camera, some of the kids have worked behind the scenes on their mom’s projects.

The actress’ two eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, both worked as assistant directors on “Maria” — with Pax doing additional photography on the set. Jolie also collaborated with daughter Vivienne on the Broadway production of “The Outsiders.”

“It’s good to start them in working,” the Oscar winner said at the film festival Wednesday. “[You’ve] got to run around and do anything for everybody. And so they’ve been doing that in a few films.”

Jolie made similar remarks about her children staying out of the limelight in October 2024.

“They’re especially shy, very private people,” the “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” star said at the time. “And they want to be private.”

She echoed the comments on “Good Morning America” in November, singling out Shiloh as the “extremely private” one in the family.
