Jon Voight, 87, Hits the Red Carpet Amid Rumors He Wants Peace With Angelina Before She Leaves the US
Legendary actor Jon Voight stepped out amid rumors that he's hoping to make peace with his daughter, fellow Oscar winner Angelina Jolie.
The Oscar-winning actor, 87, known for memorable roles in films including Coming Home, Midnight Cowboy, and Deliverance, hit the red carpet to attend the 2026 Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival's Opening Night Gala at Saban Theatre on Sunday in Beverly Hills, California. Looking dapper in a gray sport coat and pants, the screen titan worked the red carpet like he's done it a million times below. (And he probably has!)
Angelina Jolie is Planning on Leaving the United States
While times have been tough over the years between Voight and his daughter, word on the street is that the actor is hoping to make peace with her before she leaves the United States for good.
Back in 2024, Jolie shared with The Hollywood Reporter that when her kids are of age, she intends to high-tail it out of the United States and start a new life abroad. Her twins with her ex Brad Pitt, Knox and Vivienne, will turn 18 in July 2026, which will allow her to spread her wings wherever she chooses.
"I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they're 18, I'll be able to leave. When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be … that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here. [After Los Angeles,] I'll spend a lot of time in Cambodia. I'll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world," Jolie shared.
Her home is already on the market for just under $30 million.
Voight's Granddaughter, Zahara, Raved About Her Mom
Zahara took the stage at a mother-daughter brunch for the Pearls of Purpose Foundation on Sunday, April 26, in Atlanta, where she was featured as the special guest. In her speech, the college student opened up about her relationship with her mother, as Jolie stood beside her.
"When asked to speak with you all today on the value of mother-daughter relationships, it felt challenging to find the words," Zahara began, according to a video on Instagram. "Not challenging because I don't value it, but because my mom and I have a unique, almost kindred, relationship that can be hard to put into words."
