Movie actress Angelina Jolie<\/a><\/strong> is hard at work on her next project, but she made sure to keep her children close, connecting with son Maddox<\/a><\/strong> and daughter Zahara<\/a><\/strong> in a sweet on-set moment.<\/p>\n Jolie is currently filming a new adaptation of the novel Anxious People by Fredrik Backman<\/strong>, and in new set photos, the mother of six took a break from filming to make a video call to her daughter, while her son Maddox stood nearby, supporting Jolie in person.<\/p>\n In one photo shared by Just Jared<\/a>, Jolie smiled while looking at her phone screen, with Zahara smiling back. Jolie shifted the angle of the camera to show off the set around her, with her co-stars Carol Kane<\/strong> and Lennie James<\/strong> by her side.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, to Jolie’s left, Maddox stood wearing a beanie and a Black Flag band sweatshirt, a soft smile on his face as he watched his mother and sister interact. In another photo<\/a>, Jolie moved the camera to show Zahara two other people working on the film with her.<\/p>\n Related: Angelina Jolie Shares Rare Update on Her Eldest Daughter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Jolie looked elegant, dressed in her character’s costume, with a sleek bob and a chic cream-colored ensemble. She plays the character Zara, a well-off woman who runs a bank, who ends up caught in a hostage situation with a group of random people during an apartment viewing.<\/p>\n Along with Jolie, Kane, and James, the movie also stars Aimee Lou Wood<\/strong>, Jason Segel<\/strong>, Joanna Scanlan<\/strong> and Jessica Gunning<\/strong>, among others. Producer Ren\u00e9e Wolfe<\/strong> described the project when it was announced earlier this year, saying, “Anxious People is a uniquely warm and heartfelt story that speaks to our chaotic times by asking us to step outside of our own stories and slow down enough to actually see one another.”<\/p>\n As of writing, there is no official release date yet. The film was first announced during the Cannes Film Festival in May, and it is currently in production.<\/p>\n Related: Angelina Jolie\u2019s Daughter Shiloh Enjoys Day Out in Los Angeles With Close Friend<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n So far, none of Jolie’s children have committed to following her into acting, but a few have already started exploring related fields, such as Shiloh<\/strong> with dancing<\/a> and Vivienne<\/a><\/strong> with theater production. Vivienne even worked as her mother’s assistant on the Broadway musical The Outsiders, for which Jolie was a lead producer.<\/p>\n LONDON, ENGLAND – OCTOBER 27: (L-R) Shiloh Jolie, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, Maddox Jolie-Pitt and Knox Jolie-Pitt attend the “The Eternals” UK Premiere at BFI IMAX Waterloo on October 27, 2021 in London, England.

While it’s not confirmed, it’s possible that he’s taking on a similar role with Anxious People.<\/p>\n Currently, Zahara is in school at Spelman College, while Jolie’s son Pax<\/a><\/strong> has worked on a couple of her films like Maddox. But it’s unclear what exactly he intends to do for his career. Jolie’s other son, Knox<\/a><\/strong>, has kept his plans private as well.<\/p>\n Related: Angelina Jolie\u2019s Daughter Shiloh Debuts Striking Style Change in Rare Sighting With Close Friend<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 29, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
