“Fight Club of His Own”: The Documentary of Brad Pitt’s Son

After being caught with an unusual haircut while leaving training, Knox, the former couple’s 17-year-old son, continues to cultivate his Thai boxing skills – and this time he entered the ring. Comparisons to Father Brad in the famous movie came quickly

Almost 30 years since Brad Pitt starred in the iconic film “Fight Club”, Knox Jolie-Pitt, his and Angelina Jolie’s son, is giving us serious déjà vu. After last week the lens of the paparazzi overseas caught him coming out of an unusual block training that included orange hair, Knox entered the ring last weekend, for an exhibition fight in Thai boxing – and the networks were quick to compare his appearance and presence in the ring, to those of Dad in the famous movie.

In a video released from the event, which took place at a club in downtown Los Angeles, Knox can be seen taking a few hits during the fight, but not letting it discourage him, keeping his cool and fighting back. This is when his body, unlike his father in the film, is wearing short shorts that reveal the fruits of his hard training.

“The kid is sharp”, “His own fight club” and “If Brad Pitt was my dad, I would be 100% proud”, read among the reactions to the documentary, alongside “Brad still takes him”, “Why are we comparing him to his dad? He doesn’t play and act like a fighter, he is a fighter” – and “Angelina raised a serious guy, come on Knox”.

The son of the former couple, who officially divorced only at the end of 2024, after eight years of legal battles, has been training in Thai boxing for a long time and has often been seen in technical competitions in the Los Angeles area and the surrounding area. His twin sister Vivian even came to cheer him on in several competitions in the past.

As of now, it doesn’t look like Knox is planning to follow his father into the world of acting, but in the arena he is already attracting quite a bit of attention. Along with the fact that he is among the few children who have not yet given up the famous father’s last name, maybe we will also get to see father Brad cheering in the stands.
