Brad Pitt Makes Rare Comment on Daughter Shiloh at 'Bullet Train' Premiere

Brad Pitt made a rare comment about daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt at the Bullet Train premiere in Los Angeles on Monday, August 1.

The dad of six—who shares kids Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 14, with ex Angelina Jolie—gushed over the teen's dancing skills.

"It brings a tear to the eye, yeah," Pitt told Entertainment Tonight of Shiloh's hobby, before joking, "I don't know where she got it from. I'm Mr. Two-Left-Feet here."

The Ad Astra star, 58, added that he would be happy for his children, no matter what career they choose.

"I love when they find their own way, find things they are interested in and flourish," he said.

Footage of Shiloh dancing has been making the rounds on social media. One video, in particular, posted by dance instructor and choreographer Hamilton Evans, has racked up more than 2.4 million views on YouTube.

In the clip, which was shared in June, the Kung Fu Panda 3 actress put moves to Doja Cat's "Vegas," and people were impressed.

"I can remember when she was born, beautiful to see her grow into her on talent because she got a whole lot DNA from her famous parents," one person commented underneath the post. "Go Girl!"

"Whaaat is happening?!?!? Shiloh has come out of her shell," a second user wrote. "I thought she was this shy girl, but she's a bada** dance boss! GO SHI!!!"

"Dang, Shiloh, who knew?!?" someone else chimed in. "Kickin' a$$ & taking names! Woohoo, you go girl! It's nice to see your talents!!!"

Shiloh's portion of the video has since been censored, and a pinned comment by Evans explained why.

"Unfortunately Shiloh's group, as requested by her family & lawyers, has been blurred out temporarily," the note read. "This is to respect the her privacy. Her focus is to train hard and improve while in a safe & controlled environment. Please respect the decision that has been made. Thank you, Hamilton."

Shiloh isn't the only dancer in the family, though. After Jolie, 47, announced Zahara's acceptance to Spelman College via Instagram on Sunday, July 31, the Maleficent actress was spotted showing off moves of her own.

In a now-viral TikTok, the Golden Globe winner danced with other families of those attending the Atlanta-based historically Black women's college.

"Morehouse and Spelman alumni showing Angelina Jolie and her daughter how to hit the electric slide at their event in Los Angeles," read the caption.

In the clip, Jolie laughed while briefly joining in on a line dance. The video has been viewed more than 262,000 times.

Newsweek reached out to Pitt's representative for additional comment.
