Daddy's girl: Angelina with daughter Shiloh, 20
months, who looks remarkably like her famous parents
Angelina Jolie revealed that her blonde-haired blue-eyed natural
child Shiloh, 20 months, is the "outcast" in her ethnically diverse
family.
The actress - who has adopted three other children from around the
world - said in a revealing interview, that her only biological
child, fathered by actor Brad Pitt, is the odd one out because of
her bright blonde hair.
Angelina and partner Brad Pitt also have six-year-old Maddox from
Cambodia, four-year-old Pax Thien from Vietnam and two-year-old
Zahara who they adopted in Ethiopia.
But the 32-year-old Beowulf star explained Shiloh's resemblance to
her father which set her apart from her siblings.
Angelina told Look magazine: "She looks like Brad. It's funny
because she's almost going to be the outcast in the family because
she's blonde and blue-eyed."
Jolie also admitted she would have been happy not to have a
biological child.
But she changed her mind after seeing Brad with Zahara and Maddox
after bringing her to the U.S. from Ethiopia.
She said: "I saw Brad with her and Maddox, and I realised how much
he loved them - and how a biological child would not in any way be
a threat."
The actress said she felt a deep connection to her adopted children
because of the pain they had endured in their young lives.
She added: "I felt so much more for Madd, Zahara and Pax because
they were survivors.
"Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born.
"But I'm conscious that I have to make sure I don't ignore her
needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable."
But when asked if she was glad she'd had Shiloh, Angelina said she
avoids singling out her biological child at the expense of her
adopted children.
She said: "It was so lovely. But at the same time, the first time
we saw a picture of Zahara before we met her we were both very
emotional.
"It was different journeys but very similar feelings."
