Jon Voight has come out to say he is ‘proud’ of his daughter Angelina Jolie and granddaughter Vivienne after they stole the spotlight at the 2024 Tony Awards with their remarkable victory.
The mother-daughter duo produced the musical The Outsiders, which won four trophies, including the top honor of Best Musical.
PAPA IS PROUD OF DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER
‘I’m very proud of Vivienne,’ Oscar winner Voight, 85, told TMZ on Sunday. ‘I’m really proud of Angie because she really tries to encourage each of the kids to be what they want to be.’
‘I’m sure Angie contributed with the actors and Angie’s a great director,’ Voight continued to gush over the Maleficent star.
The Midnight Cowboy icon also revealed how Vivienne got her mother involved with the production.
‘Vivienne read the book and then went down to see the pre-Broadway play version down close by San Diego and she went down four times and she said “Mom, you got to see this,”‘ he explained to the outlet.
He said this amid turbulent moments between Voight and Jolie, which have caused periods of estrangement over the years … will this statement brings olive branch??!
REASON FOR THEIR TENSE RELATIONSHIP
Voight’s infidelity during his marriage to Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and their subsequent divorce reportedly were key factors in the father and daughter’s estrangement.
