Maddox Jolie-Pitt is the adopted son of actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. He was born as Rath Vibol in Cambodia and initially lived in a local orphanage in Battambang. Jolie decided to apply for adoption after she had visited Cambodia twice, while filming Tomb Raider and on a UNHCR field trip in 2001. After her divorce from her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie received sole custody of Maddox. On January 19, 2006 a judge in California approved Pitt's request to legally adopt the boy. Like their other children, Maddox has gained considerable celebrity and appears regularly in the tabloid media.
