knox leon jolie-pitt was born into stardom, the term "born with a silver spoon" wasn't quite enough to encompass the magnitude of his life. born to angelina jolie and brad pitt, he and his siblings were about as close to american royalty as they could get, aside from the kennedy's — maybe you didn't follow celebrities, maybe you didn't care one way or another about his family, but there really was no denying that you knew his name, and his mother's name, and his father's name, and the names of most of his siblings.

in a small mercy, at least knox wasn't born into it alone. he didn't come alone into the world, he was followed swiftly by vivienne, his twin, and knox has never been quite able to put into words how grateful he was not to have to share the burden of being the youngest jolie-pitt alone.
