Did you know that Angelina Jolie has an older brother? The 46-year-old brother of the Hollywood star, James Haven, started acting in many movies and TV shows before becoming a director, however he did not achieve the same fame as his sister.
In recent years, his role has become that of his full-time uncle, having spent most of his time caring for Angelina's six children.
James Haven Voight Bertrand is the son of actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in 2007 of ovarian cancer. When their parents separated, he and his younger sister, Angelina, lived with their mother. They formed a close bond with him while they were away from their father.
When Angelina and James started their professional careers, they decided to drop the surname Voight and started using their mother surname before they were known in the industry. In 2002, Angelina decided to legally remove her father surname and took the surname by which we all know her now. Jolie, which means "beautiful," was actually her middle name. James followed suit, taking his middle name as his surname, Haven.
Vëllai i Angelina-s ka qenë një dajë i përkushtuar ndaj 6 fëmijëve të saj. Ai ishte në krye të ekipit të dadove dhe stafit që plotësonte nevojat e Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, Knox dhe Maddox për një kohë të gjatë, pasi Angelina u nda nga Brad Pitt në 2016-ën.
James është shfaqur në shumë filma dhe shfaqje televizive. Pikat kryesore të karrierës së tij përfshijnë Original Sin, ku interpretoi me motrën e tij dhe Antonio Banderas, dhe Stay Alive. Ai ishte producent ekzekutiv për dokumentarin Trudell dhe shkroi dhe drejtoi filmin e shkurtër Court of Conscience, që paraqet babanë e tij, Jon Voight. Ai gjithashtu drejtoi një episod të serialit The Game.
Në vitin 2009, James kërkoi babanë e tij, Jon Voight, dhe u përpoq të linin mënjanë mosmarrëveshjet e tyre. Ai i kërkoi motrës së tij të bënte të njëjtën gjë dhe, megjithëse iu desh pak kohë, një vit më vonë Angelina pranoi të fliste me babanë e saj.
James u vendos qendër të vëmendjes në vitin 2000, kur mori pjesë në ceremoninë e ndarjes së çmimeve Oscar me Angelina-n, e cila fitoi çmimin e aktores më të mirë joprotagniste për Girl Interrupted. Ylli filloi fjalimin e saj duke thënë:
"Unë jam shumë e dashuruar me vëllanë tim tani", dhe fotografitë e tyre duke ndarë një puthje në buzë bënë shumë bujë asokohe.
Angelina, 3 vjet më vonë, foli për vëmendjen mediatike që mori puthja e tyre, duke thënë për People:
"We are best friends. And it was not some strange open-mouthed kiss. It was disappointing that something so beautiful and clean could turn you into a circus."
James also talked about the close relationship he has with his little sister.
"I go to Angie for advice and I will not do anything without her because we have been very close since we were children," he told the Daily Mail in 2017.
He continues to support Angelina in all areas of her life, even though she always prefers to stay behind the scenes, so many people have no idea that the actress has a brother, who moreover resembles her a lot.
