Jon Voight On Jolie-Pitt Children: 'Hollywood Should Be Afraid'

We all know that grandparents are designed to spoil their grandchildren, and actor Jon Voight is no different when it comes to daughter Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's famous brood. Caught at the G'Day USA Black Tie Gala on Saturday night, the 73-year-old told E! News that "Hollywood should be afraid" of the Jolie-Pitt kids, who he admitted would probably kill it in acting when they grow up.

"I don't want to say, but I have a feeling that they will. I have no doubt," Voight said of the children -- Maddox, Shiloh, Zahara, Pax, Knox and Vivienne -- collectively.

"I try to give them support as Brad and Angie do... they really let these kids be who they are."

Voight was famously estranged from Angelina for years after making a 2002 television appearance where he voiced concern that his daughter had "serious mental problems." In recent years, the father-daughter pair have reunited, much to Voight's apparent joy. "Being reunited with my Angie is very precious to me. I adore my grandchildren, they are my great love. It makes me so emotional and grateful," Voight told the Daily Mail last October.

I really hate to mess up the whole 666 number of comments with none pending but I must say it is finally time that kids unfortunate enough to be born with sucessful parents are no longer locked out of the same industry as their parents. That whole thing must stop now!

Disgusting use of a fake headline to attract hits. What is this, The National Enquirer?

They are kids. They are allowed to be imperfect in public. I think it is kind of weird for a little kid to be shaking hands with adults.

It's called teaching them manners.

Do your children shake hands with adults? Inappropriate IMO.

Hmmm...well...Angie and dad will get along famously until he says or does something else that annoys her, and she'll cut him off with the quickness. Again.

It seems to be a dance they perform in their private lives periodically.

What I'd really be interested in is what Brad's parents think of her.

Just musing...

It's no secret. They are both very fond of her and have said so.

Voight's rantings and his weird treatment of his daughter give the impression that he hit the bong a little too hard back when he was riding high. He's a different kind of cat. I hope his medication is adjusted properly.

Jon Voight is an actor. His daughter and son-in-law are eye candy and talk show fodder.

Voight is a caricature.

HP use to be a nice site where misleading their readers into clicking on stories based on headlines that doesn't even touch the real story....

Hope you enjoyed the sell out Arianna

Were I she, I would let my children no where near the grandfather who publicly accused their mother of "serious mental problems". To me, that's kind of a deal breaker.

[KJLSanDiego]

10:22 PM on 01/19/2012

Agreed!
The way he treated her mother is enough to warrant estrangement!

It's possible to be a bad husband but a good grandparent, and children need to have a relationship with their grandparents. Unless he has harmed their children in any way, he should be allowed to see them. JMO.

People in general probably oughta be afraid. i bet they wilder than jack rabbits. Look at the parents. Free spirits. "They just tore up (somethin' outrageously over-priced) and it's cool. They money. They kids. I pray they don't spit and kick and I meet them. Life.

Hello totalliberal; Even though it's incorrect English you understood enough to comment. So methink t'will suffice, dahlin. If not? Gee. Where will I go, what shall I do? You've got the next line. Thanks for the comment. Life.

The children are polite and well behaved. They shake hands and introduce themselves beautifully and in French, then they ask permission to play.

Wistfulslinking; I stand corrected. You obviously have had the pleasure of meetin' the lil' dahlin's. That's nice to know. 'Cause I've read stories 'bout rich kids. Shucks, I've even seen po' kids. Thank you for the informative post. Life.

Does Jon Voight even have any credibility left?

[Sistagirl Young]

09:37 PM on 01/19/2012

Hello LMPE; I liked him in the movie with De Niro and Pacino and they were adversaries. It's on the tip of my tongue. Dang...I got it. HEAT. Whew, that a relief. It's like a popcorn kernel stuck to the roof of your mouth and walk 'roun' cluckin' all day. But then you may not know what the heck I'm talkin' 'bout. Not to worry. Neither do I dahlin'. Most of the time. Have a good evenin'. Life.

Voight was in a number of good movies over the years, but then something went wrong with him.

[carnegie]

10:52 PM on 01/19/2012

Oh you liked a part he played in a movie? How nice.

I met the man once. Not very nice.

He is a real right wing jerk too.

[Pectin]

10:04 PM on 01/19/2012

Credibility? Why, was he appointed ambassador somewhere?

The guy's just talkin' about his grandkids.

[doglove]

No I think you are mistaking him for his daughter

Nanny overload, the kids are handy for the Brangiepitt's photo ops though.
