After being estranged for many years, it appears the relationship between actor Jon Voight and his daughter Angelina Jolie is becoming stronger, FOXNews.com reported Wednesday.
The veteran Hollywood actor and director was one of the first to arrive on the red carpet for the Hollywood premiere of Jolie’s new action blockbuster “Salt” on Monday night – and was the picture of a doting dad.
“Angelina is like a circus performer in some way, she enjoys [doing her own stunts.] She’s athletic and she enjoys expressing her athleticism,” Voight told FOXNews.com.
At one point at the premiere, Voight turned around to examine a poster for the movie, which featured only Jolie’s name and a close-up of her steely, yet sexy glare.
“That’s my girl,” he said proudly.
In addition to her dad, Jolie brought partner Brad Pitt and their children to the star-studded premiere. Although Jolie said she is proud of her work in the action flick, she is not ready to let her young kids watch the violent film.
“I can’t show my kids movies where people are trying to kill me. They saw some of the clips and were a little disturbed by it. There was one part where somebody was tying my feet up and they got upset and didn’t like it,” Jolie explained. “But when they’re older I think my kids are going to love this. Mad [Maddox, her 8-year-old son] really wants to see it but he’s just not ready yet. He’s not old enough yet.”
And while the thrill-seeking, Oscar-winning actress was completely comfortable hanging from 11-story buildings and jumping from one moving truck to the next while filming “Salt,” which centers around the quest to capture a CIA agent suspected of being a Russian spy, there is one part of life that ignites her inner fear.
“There is nothing I‘m afraid to do on camera, I’m only afraid of something happening to people I love,” Jolie said.
