Brad Pitt is deeply concerned following his estranged son Pax Jolie-Pitt’s alarming bike crash. According to a new report by Radar Online, the 60-year-old Hollywood star is “very upset” that 20-year-old Pax — whom he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie — was hospitalized after a collision with a car during Los Angeles rush-hour traffic.
An insider close to the situation shared, “Brad is distraught and worried over Pax’s accident, but he is unable to reach him. It is very upsetting to Brad whenever he hears of one of the kids being hurt, and he feels completely powerless because there is nothing that he can do at all.”
Pax, who was not wearing a helmet at the time, suffered hip pain and a head injury. Although medics initially feared a minor brain bleed, he is now reportedly in stable condition. Friends of Pax, however, remain concerned. One source told Page Six, “He’s being reckless. They’re worried.”
Another source added to the Daily Mail, “Brad doesn’t think that Pax should be driving a scooter without a helmet to begin with – he should have been in a car.” Pax has had “virtually no contact” with his father since his bitter divorce from Jolie and subsequent allegations of physical abuse.
In a scathing Father’s Day post from 2020, Pax lashed out at his dad, calling him a “world-class a******” and accusing him of being a “terrible and despicable person.”
The strained relationship between Pitt and his son has been a source of pain for the actor. Despite his efforts to reconnect, the fallout from the divorce and the accusations have created a significant rift. Pitt has always been vocal about his love for his children and his desire to be a part of their lives, making incidents like Pax’s accident even more distressing for him.
Brad Pitt’s concern over Pax’s reckless behavior and the dangerous accident underscores the challenges of being a parent, especially when dealing with strained family dynamics and the physical distance that complicates emotional connections. As Pax recovers, the incident serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the enduring bonds of family, even amid conflict.
