Pax Jolie is 20 years old. I don’t know a ton about his life these days, but from what I can tell, he’s super-close to Angelina Jolie, he’s worked behind-the-scenes on several of her films (including Maria and Without Blood), he often walks around like he’s his mother’s main bodyguard and he despises Brad Pitt. When Angelina is in New York, Pax is almost always with her. When Angelina is in LA, Pax is almost always with her. Well, in recent months, Pax has been seen zipping around LA on an electric bicycle. On Monday, he crashed into a car which was stopped at a red light.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son, Pax Jolie-Pitt, is one lucky guy after police say he smashed his electric bicycle into a car on a busy L.A. street … TMZ has learned. The 20-year-old was riding Monday on Los Feliz Blvd. around 5 PM — so, rush hour on a heavily trafficked street — and as he approached a red light, he rammed into the back of a car stopped at the intersection … according to law enforcement sources.
We’re told the driver of the car got out to check on Pax, who was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. Police and paramedics arrived on the scene, and witnesses tell us Pax was experiencing hip pain, and had apparently suffered a head injury … so, he was rushed to an L.A. hospital for treatment.
We’re told medics feared he suffered a minor brain bleed in the wreck, but the latest word is that Pax is stable, and might be able to go home sometime tonight.
Pax — the 4th of Angelina and Brad’s 6 kids — has been seen recently cruising around L.A. on a BMX-style e-bike, and almost always without a helmet.
California helmet laws differ depending on the class of bicycle … so, it’s unclear if he needs one with that particular ride. What is clear, is a helmet would’ve come in handy during today’s accident.
Yeah, Angelina Jolie loves motorcycles, planes and anything that can go fast, so Pax comes by it naturally. Still, he needs to wear a g-ddamn helmet, especially if he’s going on high-traffic roads during rush hour. He’s really lucky that this wasn’t a lot worse. I’m glad that he’s fine – or at least that’s how it sounds – but I hope this is a wakeup call. Helmet! Don’t ride your bike in traffic either.

Yes helmet!! Always! They have some pretty great ones now too, so you don’t have to look like a mushroom head. I’m glad Pax is ok.
I ride my e- bike all over the place and I have a helmet that even has lights on it so cars can see me. Do I look ridiculous? Yes. But if it means a car sees me when I’m riding around in town, then all the better.
🎯
I keep telling myself and others that a hole in the head looks even more ridiculous than a helmet on the head. Same goes for a high viz vest, they may look dumb but as someone who also drives a car, I am aware that it´s sometimes just damn difficult to spot a cyclist, especially when it´s dark. It´s my life and, for all I know my only life, so putting this minimal effort into protecting it is no biggie.
Virginia Tech Helmet Lab has done testing on different helmets to simulate the typical forces on a head by sport. The most expensive ones are not always the most protective ones!
https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/
You don’t look ridiculous. You look SMART in that helmet!
Yes to the helmet!!
I’m glad that the motorist checked on Pax, and helped him. Even minor brain bleeds are scary!
Wear a helmet with any bike but especially an e-bike. They can go so fast …. Ever since Simon Cowell got badly injured on his we should all understand the risks.
This is terrifying and I’m glad he’s going to be okay. Yes to the helmet! I live in NH right now and it freaks me out how many people ride motorcycles (on the highways) and bikes without a helmet on. No leather jackets for the bikers either so many are just wearing t-shirts. Zero protection if they are thrown from their motorcycles onto the pavement. The helmets aren’t mandatory here and it really stresses me out.
Super shallow note: Pax is so handsome.
He is handsome! And needs a helmet! Stay safe, pax
This is the comment I was looking for! Pax grew into a stunning man, wowza.
This same type of accident happened near me recently, but the rider (who was wearing a helmet) did not survive.
Somewhat unrelated, but yesterday I saw a guy texting while driving a motorcycle. Like, what??!
Glad he’s ok, that’s super scary.
I don’t think I’d like an e-bike, but I would like a scooter. A pink one, please.
How is Pax the 4th child? He’s second oldest. I don’t understand.
Pax was the last to be adopted. He was several years older than Maddox and Zahara were. So while age wise he’s second oldest, he was the fourth to be added to the family.
yes , I’ve seen many a horrible or near accident in my time working for a hospital and as a predestrian in NY. Car doors flying open, bikers flying over the door (not surviving, bikers dragged under trucks…. I had a kid flip over his handles while trying to run a light when the walk sign went up and also flip over handle barsto avoid hitting me. It’s crazy what some of the young will do b/c they thing they are immortal. He laughed and about 10 pedestrians screamed at him….He was in his 20’s and “did not get it”.
1. Glad he is ok.
2. Wear a helmet
3. Figures TMZ refers to him still as Brad Pitt’s son. He needs to legally get rid of Pitt in his last name. That said — I am assuming getting rid of Pitt in his name may be harder as he wasn’t born in the US and it is used on immigration/citizenship documents? (Not sure if Pitt actually adopted him?)
As far as I know, Angelina processed or started the adoptions as a single mom, and then he adopted them once they were in the US, since she was single at the time if the adoptions. He adopted Pax and the two other older children.
Pax is Brad’s adopted son so TMZ is correct. If Brad disowned Pax and said he didn’t have a son people would call for his head. Divorce doesn’t undo parentage.
Pitt has had nothing to do with Pax for 8 years and Pax has disowned him so he is just Angelina’s son.
I teach boys around Pax’s age and the number of times I see my students skateboarding, cycling, on electric scooters around the city without a helmet DRIVES ME CRAZY. Wear a helmet kids!!!
Yes! You have to wear a helmet and other protective gear. Also, pay attention! Apparently he ran into the back of a car stopped at a red light. Thank goodness the car was there, or he would have driven straight into the intersection. This could have been disastrous, and I hope he has learned as a result.
I’m Australian and helmets have been legally required on all bikes since before I learned to ride as a child.
I’m 40.
The fact that they might be optional is absolutely wild to me.
He is young. When i was in his age i was just stupid. And sometimes almost suicidal. Anyway let’s hope this teaches him something. And that his “daddy” won’t use this accident against Angelina (although I doubt it).
I’m 45 and when I was 12/13 one of the girls at my school was knocked off her bike while wearing a helmet. They asked her to bring the helmet to school and show it to everyone in an assembly and I can still picture the state it was in to this day. She only had some scrapes and bruises but it was horrific to think the state her head would have been in if she wasn’t wearing it.
Wear a helmet!
Glad he’s ok, and hope he wears a helmet from now on. Someone I know died after a relative minor bike accident because they hit their head.
E-bikes are like old school mo-peds, yes? I mean those things can go fast.
As for the helmet- at that age, most of us think we are immortal. Until something proves us wrong.
Hopefully he will be fine, and will wear a helmet.
His poor mom- nothing like getting a “hi, i’m at the hospital” call from your kid.
I recently saw two young girls zip by on electric scooters with their helmets dangling from their handle bars. I doubt that’s what their parents had in mind.
I think he has beautiful facial structure and should get into modelling. Not that he needs the money. But hey, could be a sort of self-expression I guess.
Everybody needs to work for their own sense of self worth.
Super shallow but I’m kind of surprised he hasn’t done any modeling. What a face! Needs to wear a helmet to make sure it stays so gorgeous.
No statement of concerns from daddy dearest Brad Pitt, he’s seriously has cut off emotionally from all 6 children, especially the adopted children. His Missouri family are living it up at Miraval publicly flaunting the wealth that Brad Pitt is giving them. They carried on living it up despite hearing about Pax accident that could had been fatel. They sure are heartless as Pitt, Pax even had close relationship with Pitt’s brothers children. Yet they belittled his accident.
Brad claimed some time ago that because of Yuri Shefler he can’t stay in miraval as often and on the same terms as before. Apparently shefler stopped being a problem since he brought so many people there.
As for brad’s stance on Pax’s accident: if he said anything, that would be bad too. i’m sure his eventual interest in Pax’s health would be perceived as false.
Random thought – Pax has Brad Pitt’s swagger and posture. Check how great he looks walking out the hotel with Jolie wearing – he is wearing a super cool salmon shirt and shoes. Lainey at Lainey Gossip often writes about how Pitt knows how to move. Did Pax inherit this from Pitt? Thank God he didn’t inherit Pitt’s character.
p.s. I have adopted children – they do take on their parents facial expressions and postures sometimes. At least in our experience they do.
Yikes! Even a “minor” brain bleed sounds pretty major to me. Hope he’s okay!
I had a bike accident in 1968. I was 8 years old. No one wore helmets back then. I don’t remember what happened. I only knew that I flew over my handlebars.
I had a concussion. My mother has to keep me up for 2 days. After it happened I found out the next year in school that I couldn’t alphabetize or read an analog clock. I found out decades later that I have damage to my parietal lobe. Don’t know if it has anything to do with it or not. The fascinating thing to me is brain plasticity. As the year went by I taught myself how to do both things. I didn’t ask my teacher. I didn’t realize that I couldn’t alphabetical until we had a test. After the test, the nun told us the answers so we could grade ourselves. I was totally confused about what we were doing and terrified. After the test the nun called me to the front of the class. She slapped me so hard in front of the class that I still had a red handprint on my face when I got home. No my mother didn’t do anything. She was a fairly devout Catholic. Back then, Catholics did not question authority.
Wow! Yes, brain injuries are no joke, and I think we’re coming to understand that more and more with each passing year. I’m so sorry that you had to deal with that, and very grateful that my Catholic school days were after the days that slapping was considered okay, because I sure would have gotten a few!
With all the millions and private planes at disposal, Brad Pitt still doesn’t have the decency to go see his child who nearly died, it still was an accident Brad still purposely puts a distance between himself and 6 children. As a parent he’s emotionally and financially, physically removed himself from their lives and acta like they don’t exist . Just sad and utterly disgusting behavior from a parent .
I don’t think it’s a good idea. These kids have isolated themselves from him for a reason.
