Goodbye Vietnam! Angelina Jolie Comforts Sad Pax As He Leaves Birth Land
Posted on Nov 16, 2011 @ 06:00PM
It's been four years since Pax was plucked out of an orphanage in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City, and the seven-year-old was overcome with emotion when he went back to his homeland for the first time this week, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's adopted son was a miserable sight as he was persuaded to get on the plane to depart from Con Dao airport, and RadarOnline.com has photos of his sad farewell.

Oscar-winner Angie had to put on her best performance on Wednesday to persuade Pax to join his five brothers and sisters on the flight home, while the child dragged his heels and looked like he was going to burst into tears.
The family had made a special diversion to Vietnam after attending Brad's Moneyball premiere in Tokyo because they thought Pax should see where he was born, Jolie revealed.
"We owe Vietnam a visit, because Pax is due," The Tourist star told the Financial Times in July, adding that the other adopted kids will get the chance to visit their original countries too.

"Z wants to get back to Africa, and Shiloh too. So everyone takes their turns in their country.
"They are all learning about each other’s cultures as well as being proud of their own,” she said.“So it’s not like just the boys get to do the Asian thing."
"They all have their flags over their beds and their individual pride," explained 36-year-old Jolie.

By the look on his face, Pax would rather spend more time in Vietnam than jetting off to the next exotic location with his globe-trotting family.
Brad had left two days earlier to head to South Korea to promote his baseball biopic, leaving his partner to shuttle Pax, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.
Luckily the big brood's daddy will soon have more time to spend with the kids if he lives up to his promise to quit acting in three years.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, he told the Australian version of 60 Minutes host Tara Brown that he plans to be done working in front of the camera in 2014 -- the year he turns 50.
When asked he planned to do then, Pitt replied, ""Hell if I know -- hell if I know."

Whenever Angelina or Brad are filming for a movie, out comes the family photos sold to the media, to get their names out there to promote their movies. Yuck.

Sensationalized to be something it was not. He looks fine, but probably does not care for the camera flashes. His Mom is obviously posing for the camera. Do they have a photographer who follows them on their travels?

Hey, he is looking at everybody and wondering if that is his brother, father, mother, sister. I'd be somber too and I'd want to search for my family and maybe get Jolie-Pitt to adopt all fo them!.

He doesn't look sad to me, he looks somber like always. She is totally posed for a photo op. Who comforts from behind. Maybe beside, not behind.

ever been to a teacher/child conference at your childs school. That what you do...encourage them to show you their work from behind, you don't stand in front of them, as a point of intimidation or challange.
