Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie were photographed together in Venice, Italy on Sunday. Father and daughter were seen boarding a water taxi for a trip on the Grand Canal with Brad Pitt and the couple’s young daughters Zahara Jolie-Pitt and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. Maddox, Pax, and the toddler twins Knox and Vivienne were not along for this little outing.
Voight was in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday for the 7th Annual Irish Film and Television Awards at the Burlington Hotel. He apparently decided that as long as he was in Europe, he might as well drop in on his daughter, her partner and their six children. See photos of all six kids in Venice here.
Voight and Jolie had a serious falling out in 2001 after he used an interview as a public platform to urge his daughter to seek help for her “severe mental problems”.
During the counter-cultural 70’s, Voight engaged in anti-war activism alongside Jane Fonda. In 2008 he admitted in an op-ed piece for The Washington Times that he regretted his youthful protests against the Vietnam War.
In June 2009, Jon Voight spoke in Washington D.C. at a Republican congressional fundraiser and called Obama “a false prophet”. He has also appeared on Governor Mike Huckabee’s Fox News Show and said Obama was “arrogant, caused civil unrest, and stood for all that this country was against during its past.” In November 2009, Voight was the featured speaker at a tea party protesting the healthcare reform legislation.
On Monday, Brad and Angelina packed up the children and headed to Paris, where Jolie will film scenes with Johnny Depp for her upcoming film.
