Vivienne Jolie-Pitt's acting is supported by parents
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt鈥檚 six kids have been trailed by paparazzi from a very early age. Now, one of Brangelina鈥檚 children is stepping into the spotlight in an actual film role.
At the tender age of 4, the A-list couple鈥檚 daughter Vivienne will make her acting debut alongside her mother in Walt Disney Studios鈥� upcoming adaptation of 鈥淢aleficent.鈥�
The 3-D film, set to hit theaters in March 2014, stars Jolie as the villain from the classic fairy tale 鈥淪leeping Beauty.鈥� The movie details why the evil fairy cursed Princess Aurora 鈥� a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty 鈥� to die on her 16th birthday. Though 14-year-old Elle Fanning will play Aurora during the majority of the film, Vivienne will act briefly in scenes that depict the character as younger.
A Disney spokeswoman described Vivienne鈥檚 role as 鈥渕inor鈥� and had no further details on whether the part involved any dialogue.
Jolie and Pitt have long said they would support their children should the tots want to go into show business one day.
Asked at last year鈥檚 鈥�Tree of Life鈥� premiere if his kids would go into acting, Pitt told The Times and other red carpet media: 鈥淚 just want them to follow their bliss. Whatever makes them happy.鈥�
Directed by two-time Oscar-winning production designer Robert Stromberg (鈥淎vatar,鈥� 鈥淎lice in Wonderland鈥�) and produced by Joe Roth (the recent 鈥淎lice in Wonderland鈥� and 鈥�Snow White and the Huntsman鈥�), 鈥淢aleficent鈥� is written by Linda Woolverton (鈥�The Lion King,鈥� 鈥�Beauty and the Beast鈥�) and executive produced by Jolie, Don Hahn, Matt Smith and Palak Patel.
Costarring in the film are Sharlto Copley, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.
Production began in June in London.
