Out with the old.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, dropped Pitt from his last name in the credits of the actress’ newest movie.
Maddox, 24, worked as an assistant director on “Couture,” a newly released drama starring his mom. Angelina plays the role of Maxine Walker, a woman diagnosed with breast cancer whose life intersects with two other women during Paris Fashion Week.
When the Alice Winocour-directed film debuted in French movie theaters Wednesday, Maddox’s name was listed as “Maddox Jolie” in the end credits, People reported.

Page Six has reached out to Brad’s rep, who declined to comment.
In 2024, the executive producer’s name was listed as Maddox Jolie-Pitt in the credits for “Maria,” which starred Jolie as late opera singer Maria Callas.
The “Maleficent” actress, 50, shares five other kids with her ex-husband: Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

Zahara left off “Pitt” from her name during her Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated induction ceremony at Spelman College in Atlanta in 2023.
During the probate, the then-teen referred to herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”
In 2024, Shiloh dropped her dad’s surname in “The Outsiders” Playbill.
The dancer — who helped mom Jolie produce the Broadway play — was listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the magazine for theatergoers.

A source told People that Brad, 62, was “aware and upset” that his and Jolie’s first biological daughter, Shiloh, dropped his last name.
“He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter,” the insider said at the time.
“The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.”

The source said Brad “still loves all of his kids tremendously,” adding that this “whole process has been very hard for the whole family.”
The “Eternals” star filed for divorce from the “Troy” actor in 2016 and requested full custody of their six children following an alleged abusive incident between Brad and the kids.
Jolie’s lawyers claimed that Brad allegedly “choked one of the children and struck another in the face” during a confrontation on a private jet.

The FBI “thoroughly” investigated and chose “not to bring any charges” against Pitt, we were told in 2022.
The former couple was declared legally single in 2019 and finally settled their divorce in December 2024.
Last year, a source told Us Weekly that the “Fight Club” actor remains estranged from most of his children despite “several efforts to reconnect.”
