Angelina Jolie's famous father, Jon Voight, is just as shocked as we are that his daughter filed for divorce from her longtime love. Sounds like someone is not in the know!
“I don’t know much about it except it must be something serious,†Voight told Radar. “I just got the news and I’m concerned.â€
When asked about why the A-listers split, he said he did not know but guess he would learn when he “sees Angie and the children soon.â€
The 77-year-old added that, “The priority is always the children … I know she’s always concerned about the children.â€
Despite the divorce, the Ray Donovan actor hopes that the estranged couple will have an amicable split for the sake of their six kids Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.
“I’m hopeful,†he said. “Say a little prayer. This is news to me too.†It definitely seems like Voight is sad about the split -- but he also seems a little clueless about his daughter's life.
On Tuesday morning, we reported that brunette filed for divorce from Brad, according to TMZ.
The news site has reported that the Hollywood superstar filed for divorce from Brad Pitt on Sept. 15, citing irreconcilable differences. Apparently, she's seeking sole physical custody of the couple's six children. The site reported that the Salt actress, who nabbed divorce-lawyer-to-the-stars Laura Wasser, does NOT want Brad to have joint physical custody, but she will allow him visitation rights and joint legal custody. Yikes!
We've also been hearing that the split happened for various reasons but mainly due to Brad's parenting style mixed with a possible substance abuse issue -- and not a third person. A source says that Angelina is "fed up" with Brad's constant weed and possible alcohol consumption, as well as "an anger problem," which she felt endangered her children. Double yikes!
