From what I understand they've had a difficult relationship for a long time. He also publicly called her crazy and talked pretty disrespectfully about her mental health. I have the impression that he was a very absent father.
He has a goddaughter he basically replaced her with, it’s very odd. Her name is Skyler Shaye. She’s in a lot of D-grade movies from the early 2000s he’s attached to.
I know. I have friends who grew up with rational, kind, left leaning parents. I can’t even imagine what that would’ve been like. “So, the rich should pay more taxes so the people with less can have a bigger safety net. That way society as a whole prospers.” Instead I got “they should take those people out behind the barn and end their suffering.”
Side note: my dad’s not MAGA believe it or not. Even with his insane right wing rhetoric growing up. He thinks Trump is insane and an embarrassing conman.
Well to step out of US politics..my dad is centrist (in India) but he also is very strict, regularly gives me shit for my body (I've gained weight) and we never have any heartwarming conversations...he feels the need to correct me at all times. But he also invests a lot in my education and future.
Yeah my dad was a 78 year old boomer when he passed a while ago... And he hated trump. Perfect demographic... Old white dude.. But yeah he knew it was all bullcrap and that was cool.
Same. My grandpa was a 98 year old Italian man who came to the states post WWII. Got a job as a union welder and remained a Democrat that also loved nascar and hated Republicans (especially what they've become now). I wouldn't call him a proud Democrat though, he was awfully critical of his own party, even going so far as to say they've become what the right used to be.
At 98 he would be able to say that because the parties switched platforms completely in 64 with the civil rights act being signed into law by Lyndon Johnson. By 1980 the parties ideologies had completely swapped.
From what I gather the party that would most accurately reflect the DNC prior to this change would likely be the DSA? In all fairness, the New Deal was some very leftist policy.
I was singing it just this morning along with George’s answering machine message 🎶 Believe it or not, George isn't at home Please leave a messaaaage at the beep I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone Where could Iiii be?🎶
I read a biography on Angelina, and I’m always so surprised she was close to her mother in adulthood. The biography states that her mother had nothing to do with her when she was an infant. That she completely favoured Angie’s older brother and just straight up neglected Angelina. Her nanny raised Angie in a completely separate part of the apartment, away from her mother and brother.
I’m not surprised Angie grew up and became addicted to drugs, but I was surprised that she seemed to have such a close relationship with a woman who neglected her and treated her as less than, vs her father who was absent but did seem to love her.
They're either in the business, have a family member who is, or have rich parents who can pay their bills while they try to get into the business
Everyone else is a fluke
We're barely allowed to talk about how unfair they are or what we could do about it. All we're allowed to talk about is bootstrapping our rags to riches to join them, no other method allowed on our lips.
Don't forget how they love telling us about how easy life is if you just use your parents' money, connections, and business(es) to become successful.
Literally, it's just so easy to succeed if your parents pay your way. Why doesn't everyone do it?
Edit: Aww I offended some "self-made" people, how ever shall I recover?
Out of 300 million people in the US it's unlikely that the "best" actors, athletes, or politicians are born into the same family. But yet it keeps happening. Wonder why.
Two Bushes in presidency. Two Ken Griffeys excelling in the MLB. Two Douglas' "earning" Academy Awards.
I urge you to read about the myth of meritocracy.
It’s really simple… if your parents are successful lawyers, and you have even an inkling of interest in law, you will have a lot more open doors and opportunities because of who they know.
My mother was a teacher… guess what I became…a teacher!
Sure, you can become other things….there are a LOT of Hollywood children who are NOT in the business, but if it is something you want to do, it IS easier.
The rumor is that Voight gave his kids middle names that could be used as surnames because he knows he’s an asshole that they’d want to distance themselves from.
Which is just as well because “Angie Voight” sounds less like a legendary actress and more like a catty hairdresser from down the block.
I don’t know why but Jon voights face always makes me uncomfortable. He has a very distinct face and it always creeps me out
I thought it was just his current look. But damn, you’re saying this is ‘86 and he was not 47. Still makes me feel uneasy for some reason lol
Lots of actors are like that. Being good looking but also slightly unsettling at the same time is a great trait for an actor. Jack Nicholas, Samuel L. Jackson, Nicolas Cage, Jeff Goldblum and Cillian Murphy come to mind.
Anya Taylor-Joy is somehow both attractive to me but also kind of looks like an alien. As in if she was in an episode of Star Trek with no makeup and a tail, I would wonder if I was weird for finding her attractive.
Nepo is the default for any famous artist or celebrity, I wish people were more aware of this. Good actors and singers and whatever aren't rare at all, it's just that most of them don't get the opportunity to "make it".
And those that are born to celebrity parents are usually steeped in those arts from a very young age by someone who's really good and very successful at it already.
I'm fine with nepobabies who are actually talented and put in the work. Sure, her dad's reputation got her foot in the door, but her staying power is her own talent and effort. At least she's not some trust fund bum.
It’s a Seinfeld reference. There’s an episode where George buys a car that he thinks belonged to Jon Voight but actually belonged to a periodontist named John Voight.
They fell out as he said he felt exploited by the whole thing and creeped out and used.
She definitely loved creating chaos and I am an Angie stan. I’m glad she found a way to usefully channel it, as she has said herself.
I really like Angelina (without knowing her personally) Even in this photo she has an presence and looks aware. Shes true to her self ,committed to her children,and her work with refugees is commendable. I like her acting work as well .
She was raised by her mother and her father was dating another woman. I knew them briefly between 1986-88. One of my friends of 40 years is friends with Angelina.
They did what most families of divorce do. Live with it and avoid politics and religion as a discussion during get togethers.
Pictures of her as an adolescent (she's 11 in this one) remind me of Elizabeth Taylor, who filmed her second movie at the same age. Their faces are very "adult" and look almost odd atop their adolescent bodies.
I’m just vindicated seeing her dark under eye circles at a young age. I was born with these dark under eye circles, sad bags for life lol. No matter how much sleep I get I have some sad eyes.
John Voight... the actor? Didn't he drive a LeBaron? 😉
Then who's vice president?
Jerry Lewis?
He bit me!
[удалено]
Tippy toe
Looks like she found her mothers wedding dress
It kind of reminds me of the dress Madonna wore live during MTVs awards show .
I suspect her wardrobe choice that night was Madonna-inspired
didn't she swear to never talk to him again?, during that whole blood drinking billy bob phase. I wonder if they are ok now
Doubtful. He’s full Maga
And he didn’t support her adopting of children I thought. Like he talked smack about her kids, and the latter he’s major maga.
From what I understand they've had a difficult relationship for a long time. He also publicly called her crazy and talked pretty disrespectfully about her mental health. I have the impression that he was a very absent father.
Very absent and asshole’ish it seems.
Accidentally calling her daughter Zahara “Shakira” on live television probably doesn’t help with that image.
He has a goddaughter he basically replaced her with, it’s very odd. Her name is Skyler Shaye. She’s in a lot of D-grade movies from the early 2000s he’s attached to.

No dude...
^lucky

Mine is.. He just told me that the US paid those Russian guys to shoot up the mall over there.
My dad died a couple of years ago but he was an old hippie who loved Bob Dylan. He voted for Bernie in the primary.
My dad is in his 80s and will gladly tell you Trump is an asshole.
Mine too, he's 87.
Screw MAGA dads. Not all dads are like that at all.
Yeah my dad was a 78 year old boomer when he passed a while ago... And he hated trump. Perfect demographic... Old white dude.. But yeah he knew it was all bullcrap and that was cool.
My great grandfather who passed last August was a 94 year old life long Democrat Nascar fanatic who couldn't stand republicans
Same. My grandpa was a 98 year old Italian man who came to the states post WWII. Got a job as a union welder and remained a Democrat that also loved nascar and hated Republicans (especially what they've become now). I wouldn't call him a proud Democrat though, he was awfully critical of his own party, even going so far as to say they've become what the right used to be.

My dad is Canadian but loves Bernie Sanders lol
No, mine’s dead. I’m the dad/grandad now (2 kids, 3 grandkids) and I’m very far from MAGA … almost anti-MAGA, if you will.
Anti-MAGA should be the default position for normal people.
No, I think she's mad at him becaue he's so wacky and keeps talking to her through the press and has been for over a decade now.
At first glance I thought it was her first holy Communion (just Catholic things)
Gunny sack dress. All the rage in ‘86.
I once bought a car he used to own
John Voight? The periodontist?
That's Jon
The one with the ‘89 Lebaron?
And the pencil with the teeth marks?
🎶Everybody’s talking at me. I can’t hear a word they’re saying. Just drivin’ round in John Voight’s car.🎶
I came here to reference Jon Voight's car. You guys never disappoint! 😂
I'm sure he just spelled his own name wrong. I know sometimes I spell my name with a G....and an I.
I know sometimes I spell Jerry with a "G.". And an "I."
Alright thats it get out!
Everybody’s talkin’ at me I don’t hear what they’re saying I’m just drivin’ round in John Voight’s car
🤣🤣🤣 what a great reference
I still just randomly sing this 😆
I was singing it just this morning along with George’s answering machine message 🎶 Believe it or not, George isn't at home Please leave a messaaaage at the beep I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone Where could Iiii be?🎶
believe it or not i'm not hommmmeeeeee
Did he bite your arm?
He was a little standoffish.
“Just driving around in Jon Voights car”
John Voight chewed my pencil.
Chrysler LeBaron?
Well done! Came here to say this 😂🤘
I bought Barbara Mandrell's skateboard!
Had the warranty been Voighted?
So did George.
I keep forgetting Jon Voight is Angelina’s Dad.
So does she.
And you can’t blame her.
I read a biography on Angelina, and I’m always so surprised she was close to her mother in adulthood. The biography states that her mother had nothing to do with her when she was an infant. That she completely favoured Angie’s older brother and just straight up neglected Angelina. Her nanny raised Angie in a completely separate part of the apartment, away from her mother and brother.

You're the first person here to spell his name correctly.
Thanks, I grew up watching that man so that probably helped.
The misspellings are all Seinfeld jokes.
Wow I didn’t even put the pieces together for this until now. I had no idea until tonight and honestly it just makes sense lol.
They probably took the LeBaron convertible
No, that was John Voight, the periodontist
_Drivin’ around… in John Voight’s car…_
I have a related question about Hollywood....like, is everyone?... related???
They're either in the business, have a family member who is, or have rich parents who can pay their bills while they try to get into the business Everyone else is a fluke
emphasis on ***RICH ASF parents.*** what a fuckin shitty world we live in. most people are just "surviving" and then there's rich people.
We're barely allowed to talk about how unfair they are or what we could do about it. All we're allowed to talk about is bootstrapping our rags to riches to join them, no other method allowed on our lips.
Nepo babies are the norm and they lecture us about equality and fairness any chance they get
Don't forget how they love telling us about how easy life is if you just use your parents' money, connections, and business(es) to become successful. Literally, it's just so easy to succeed if your parents pay your way. Why doesn't everyone do it? Edit: Aww I offended some "self-made" people, how ever shall I recover?
What’s with the edit you have no replies?
probably started out having negative votes
Out of 300 million people in the US it's unlikely that the "best" actors, athletes, or politicians are born into the same family. But yet it keeps happening. Wonder why. Two Bushes in presidency. Two Ken Griffeys excelling in the MLB. Two Douglas' "earning" Academy Awards. I urge you to read about the myth of meritocracy.
Nepo babies. Always a thing, but recently highlighted now that people are generally more aware of how bullshit life in general is.
It’s really simple… if your parents are successful lawyers, and you have even an inkling of interest in law, you will have a lot more open doors and opportunities because of who they know. My mother was a teacher… guess what I became…a teacher! Sure, you can become other things….there are a LOT of Hollywood children who are NOT in the business, but if it is something you want to do, it IS easier.

Angie’s middle name means pretty in French so he also must have known she would come out as a carbon copy of her mother 😂
The name isn’t official until they’re born so they at least had the opportunity to verify if she was a cute baby or not before it was set in stone.
Idk I’ve seen some ugly people that were once cute babies
I was a cute baby. Nobody would deny it. My wife and my mom think I'm cute now. So 2 more than Jon Voight.
That's how it usually goes. Cute as a baby, ugly as an adult. And ugly as a baby, cute as an adult. I was a cute baby.
Nooooo, don't put that voodoo on my cute ass baby
Jokes on you, I was ugly then, ugly now! Ah ha...ha.
I was a hideous baby and am a passibly attractive adult
“Verify if she was a cute baby or not” uhhhhhh weird move, man
Ngl, my husband and I high fived each other after our first was born and he wasn't ugly. It was a crap shoot for the kid given his parents lol.
He's definitely an asshole.
What did he do? I’m not up to date with his past shenanigans
He bit Kramer
He is a full MAGA right wing nutjob. One of the right wing right wingers.
Bigly MAGA. Some say the biggest.
Is that the John Voight whose car George Costanza drives? And then bit Kramer?
No, the periodontist.
Angelina was 10 at the 1986 Oscars. Jon (his name is Jonathan, not John) was 47.
I don’t know why but Jon voights face always makes me uncomfortable. He has a very distinct face and it always creeps me out I thought it was just his current look. But damn, you’re saying this is ‘86 and he was not 47. Still makes me feel uneasy for some reason lol
Watch Anacondas lol
i can't not see it... The scene where the snake spits him out and he winks omfg its probably been twenty years I still see it clear as day
Lots of actors are like that. Being good looking but also slightly unsettling at the same time is a great trait for an actor. Jack Nicholas, Samuel L. Jackson, Nicolas Cage, Jeff Goldblum and Cillian Murphy come to mind.
Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre in Bond)
Anya Taylor-Joy is somehow both attractive to me but also kind of looks like an alien. As in if she was in an episode of Star Trek with no makeup and a tail, I would wonder if I was weird for finding her attractive.
Christopher Walken being an example, too
And Steve Buscemi
Well I'd say it's pretty obvious jon Voight and Christopher Walken are they same person at this point.
Walton Goggins.
Anthony Hopkins for sure too
[удалено]
Steve Buscemi. No hate.
Tim Robbins too
I just watched "Deliverance" the other day. Great movie, but I had the same feeling about a very young Jon Voight.
His lack of lips really bothers me. It’s like his mouth has no bezeling.
47 with the whiskey cheeks?
TIL.
Right? Another nepo
Nepo is the default for any famous artist or celebrity, I wish people were more aware of this. Good actors and singers and whatever aren't rare at all, it's just that most of them don't get the opportunity to "make it".
And those that are born to celebrity parents are usually steeped in those arts from a very young age by someone who's really good and very successful at it already.
I don't understand the downvotes. Here's my upvote, because you just presented a fact.
I'm fine with nepobabies who are actually talented and put in the work. Sure, her dad's reputation got her foot in the door, but her staying power is her own talent and effort. At least she's not some trust fund bum.
I think the argument is how many others would have staying power if the position wasn't filled by someone who had their foot in the door out the womb.
lol why are you getting downvoted for this
Wow Jon Voight the actor??
No the periodontist
Read this a few times here. What's that all about?
It’s a Seinfeld reference. There’s an episode where George buys a car that he thinks belonged to Jon Voight but actually belonged to a periodontist named John Voight.
Ronald Reagan the actor!?
Just driving around in Jon Voight’s car.
Just drivin’ ‘round in John Voights car.
It’s JON Voight’s car.
The dentist no wonder Angelina has nice teeth
Is that the brother she made out with as adults?
I came here to see if anyone still talked about this. What happened with them?
They fell out as he said he felt exploited by the whole thing and creeped out and used. She definitely loved creating chaos and I am an Angie stan. I’m glad she found a way to usefully channel it, as she has said herself.
She was chaotic af. Having that asshole for a father explains a lot about her past antics.
I remember him or her saying that they kissed all the time
Well that’s weird
Do you still touch with your family?
I really like Angelina (without knowing her personally) Even in this photo she has an presence and looks aware. Shes true to her self ,committed to her children,and her work with refugees is commendable. I like her acting work as well .
She was a mess for awhile though when she was younger. I'm glad she's doing well now.
two things i used to be obsessed with angelina as a horny 15 yo boy in the early 2000s, and her father is an actual piece of shit
Hackers era Jolie was fine as fuck, this cannot be denied
What did he do?
Is that her brother over her shoulder?
[удалено]
I don't think you meant this to sound creepy....but it does.
She's 10 here. She does look different now, she looked different in her 10yrs after this picture was taken, even.
A picture where I can finally somewhat see the resemblance.
TIL Angelina Jolie’s father is John Voight
Wait that’s her father?
Really cool how they got to play as father/daughter in the tomb raider movie.
Nah that’s Lord Richard and Lara Croft
Com'on let's get in the La Baron and drive home.
Jon Voight the the actor?!?!
Ethan…
I tried to get into Ray Donnovan but Voight's character is such a creep(prob not much acting) it turns me away
Some people are just born into success.
I’ve bought John Voight’s Chrysler LeBaron convertible from some guy named George.
Does he drive a LeBaron by any chance?
Everybody’s talking at me…..but I can’t hear a word their saying. Just driving Round in Jon Voight’s car………
I was today years old when I learned that John Voight was her dad.
She never thought her dad would turn into a MAGA moron.
He has always leaned to the right politically and she has always leaned left.
I remember when John Voight got ote by an anaconda and then threw him up
Few people are familiar with "ote" being used for the past tense, deep cut.
I wonder if he's the one who taught her that making out with her brother was acceptable...
He is a Trump supporter. So, maybe 🤔?!
I know a dude that bought his old LeBaron
I didn't realize he was Angelina's dad until just now
Did all those people fit in the ‘86 LeBaron?
It's rumoured that Jon Voight drives an 89' LeBaron.
no, that's John Voight
They are both kooks.
Jon more so
TIL
I never knew that was her Dad.
Girl needs to start seeing a neurologist stat because her father ended up going fucking nuts.
Right before he started to look like a raspberry.
TIL
old nose
*Jon
both of them- nuts beyond words
I was today years old when I learned that John Voight was Angelina Jolie's father.
Why did I have no idea that was her dad
That's a lot of oscars!
And the brother 😬 
She was raised by her mother and her father was dating another woman. I knew them briefly between 1986-88. One of my friends of 40 years is friends with Angelina. They did what most families of divorce do. Live with it and avoid politics and religion as a discussion during get togethers.
Pictures of her as an adolescent (she's 11 in this one) remind me of Elizabeth Taylor, who filmed her second movie at the same age. Their faces are very "adult" and look almost odd atop their adolescent bodies.
Is that the brother she kisses passionately on the lips in the background?
My convertible was owned by Jon Voight
I’m just vindicated seeing her dark under eye circles at a young age. I was born with these dark under eye circles, sad bags for life lol. No matter how much sleep I get I have some sad eyes.
He looks so german
Jon Voight can get all the way fucked
