Angelina Jolie's Cambodian adopted son is being paid a lot of money by his mother to study to become a pilot.

Sharing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on December 5, Angelina Jolie said that she has been licensed to fly a plane for a long time and that her son Maddox is also studying to be a pilot. "Maddox is actually a pilot now," the 49-year-old star said.

In 2017, Angelina first revealed that Maddox was pursuing his passion for flying. "He always amazes me with his abilities. Maddox is learning to fly. One day they called me and said Maddox can fly himself. I almost dropped my phone."

In fact, it was Maddox who inspired Angelina Jolie to take on the challenge of flying. The Oscar-winning actress began learning to fly in 2004 to impress her young Cambodian adopted son. "Every time Mad sees a plane, he gets excited. If I could actually fly a plane when Mad is 4, I would be like Superman to him."

According to People, Angelina Jolie got her pilot's license in December 2004. Early the following year, she bought a single-engine Cirrus SR22-G2. She trained with an instructor and then-husband, actor Brad Pitt, while they were living in Canada.

Maddox was born in Cambodia in 2001 and was adopted by Angelina Jolie from an orphanage when he was a baby. A few years after Angelina started dating Brad Pitt, the actor applied to become Maddox's adoptive father. The couple also adopted Pax Thien from Vietnam and Zahara from Ethiopia. The Smiths also had three children: Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.

Maddox has been studying Biochemistry at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea since August 2019. Last year, he and his younger brother Pax Thien worked as assistants for their mother on the set of the movie Maria. Angelina said that her children are all private people and do not want to become actors, but they love working on set behind the camera.

Angelina Jolie once thought she would not give birth or get pregnant, but she completely changed her mind when she went to Cambodia to film Tomb Raider in 2000. According to Mr. Sarath Mounh - Angelina Jolie's assistant, the actress loved this land so much that she decided to adopt a child there.

The actress, born in 1975, went to the orphanage and was quickly impressed by a boy who took the initiative to stand up and smile at her. That was Maddox - Angelina Jolie's first adopted son. Mr. Sarath Mounh shared: "According to what she told me, when she visited the orphanage and saw Maddox, Maddox smiled at her and stood up instead of crying like all the other children. That touched her heart. This is also the reason why Angelina Jolie chose Maddox. She commented that Maddox is smart, sharp, lovely, and smiles at everyone more than any other child."

While in the orphanage, Maddox was named Rath Vibol, born on August 5, 2001 in Cambodia and abandoned. In 2002, Sarath Mounh adopted Rath Vibol from the orphanage. Angelina Jolie adopted Rath Vibol from his adoptive father Sarath Mounh in 2003 and later renamed him Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie.

At this time, Angelina Jolie was still living with her husband Billy Bon Thornton, so Maddox had the double surname Thornton Jolie. At the same time, actor Billy Bon Thornton was also Maddox's second adoptive father.

When Angelina Jolie ended her marriage to Billy Bon Thornton and married Brad Pitt, Maddox had a third adoptive father and was renamed Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt. So, even though he was an orphan, Maddox had three adoptive fathers and three different identities.

Growing up in a family where both his adoptive parents are world-famous stars, Maddox also had many opportunities to develop his artistic talents. He was taken by his mother to promote the movie Mr & Mrs Smith, and played a zombie in Brad Pitt's movie World War Z in 2013. In 2017, Maddox became a production assistant on the set of Angelina Jolie's movie First the killed my father.
