Shiloh Jolie’s Stunning Transformation: From Tomboy to Glamorous Dancer at 18!

BBG News

In 2014, when Angelina Jolie offered her daughter Shiloh a prominent part in the film Maleficent, the eight-year-old’s reaction was very enlightening.

Both versions maintain the original’s meaning and readability while providing slight variations to keep the text interesting.

Jolie shared with Elle that when she inquired about Shiloh playing the part of Aurora, Shiloh chuckled at me. She instead expressed a desire to portray a horned character. However, it was Vivienne who ended up taking on the role of young Aurora, while Shiloh made her acting debut two years later with a voiceover role in Kung Fu Panda.

On her 18th birthday, instead of having a grand celebration, she opted for a more personal milestone: hiring and paying for an attorney to legally change her last name from Jolie-Pitt to Jolie, reflecting the challenging period during which her parents were going through their divorce.

Fans of ‘Brangelina’ would likely not be taken aback, given that the couple’s unique family arrangement, which included six children – three born biologically and three adopted – was well-known prior to their separation. They often traveled together as a group.

From a young age, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt stood out among her siblings, exhibiting an exceptional individuality that set her apart. Since she was just two years old, she expressed a strong desire to carve her own path, even going so far as to assert that she was in fact a boy named John and preferred to dress like her brothers.

Although she’s grown past her tomboy stage, this 18-year-old has spent years honing her skills at the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles, unbeknownst to the staff about her well-known family background.

Shiloh is now captivating many with her fresh appearance, having transitioned away from her tomboy style where she preferred being known as John.

The teenager has recently adopted a more stylish look, which includes letting down her long blond hair and wearing elegant dresses on the red carpet with Angelina, who is 49 years old.

A month ago, spectators went into an uproar upon noticing that Shiloh was sporting a trendy safety pin earring. They interpreted this accessory as a deliberate reference to her mother’s edgy 90s punk rock aesthetic.

In the year 2021, she captivated at the Eternals UK premiere in London, wearing an updated take on her mother’s Dior gown.

Shiloh gave a unique twist to an outfit that Angelina wore two years ago, shortening the long dress so it falls just above her knees.

In conversation with Reuters, Angelina praised her daughter’s style by saying, “I find her absolutely captivating, the decisions she’s been making.

Previously, the Oscar winner opened up about Shiloh’s tomboy stage, explaining that she felt like one of the boys.

In December 2024, after an eight-year-long legal dispute, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finalized their divorce. They share custody of their sons Maddox (age 23), Pax (age 20), Knox (age 16), as well as daughters Zahara (age 19) and Vivienne (age 16).

In an interview with Vanity Fair back in 2011, she expressed her desire to identify as a male. As a result, we decided to change her hairstyle and she prefers clothing typically worn by boys. She sees herself as one of the brothers.

Seemingly creating a unique label, she expressed: ‘Shiloh, it seems, embodies the fashion sense of Montenegro. Her attire is quite androgynous. It mirrors the local style. She prefers tracksuits and formal wear alike.’

In the year 2008, it came to light that John had been asking to be referred to by her name since she was just two years old.

Brad, aged 61, told Oprah Winfrey: “She prefers to be referred to as John or Peter. It’s a Peter Pan reference, so we should call her John. Would you like…? John. I’m John.” “John, would you care for some orange juice?” To which she replied, “No!

In simpler terms, what I mean is, such actions are adorable to parents but might be irritating or annoying to others.

At the time, Angelina stated that her name change didn’t require any ‘understanding or interpretation’.

During an interview with The Daily Mail, Angelina expressed that it’s not for anyone else to make sense of things. She enjoys dressing in a more masculine style, prefers her hair cropped short like a boy, and even wished to be addressed as ‘John’ for some time.

‘Some children aspire to emulate Superman by wearing capes, and this girl is no exception as she looks up to her brothers. This trait of hers took us by surprise, but it’s fascinating. However, there’s much more to her than just that – she’s humorous, kind-hearted, and charming. Interestingly enough, she also has a fondness for ties.’

During an appearance on Good Morning America, Angelina Jolie shared that Shiloh, along with her other siblings, tends to prefer a more reserved and intimate lifestyle.

Angelina stated: ‘None of my children want to be in front of the camera [at] this time.’ 

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Growing up largely away from the limelight, I (Shiloh) stepped into the world of acting at just two years old, sharing the screen with my father in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Fast forward a few years, and I found myself contributing to my mother’s animated masterpiece, Kung Fu Panda 3, in 2016.

At age eight, she turned down the opportunity to be in her mom’s 2014 film Maleficent. 

At that moment, Angeline shared with Elle that she had questioned Shiloh about taking on the role of Aurora, to which Shiloh responded with a laugh. Instead, Shiloh mentioned she would prefer to portray a horned character.

Vivienne, her younger sibling, eventually assumed the role, while Shiloh has been reportedly dedicating the last few years to a dancing career.

2022 saw Angelina Jolie reportedly putting significant effort into fostering her children’s diverse interests, enrolling them in a variety of activities such as art classes, computer programming courses, martial arts training, and at some point, even dance instruction for each of them.

After seeing that Shiloh was a natural at dance, the performer made a ‘big point to nurture that.’ 

Initially, Shiloh had private tutoring sessions; later, she joined a local studio close to their residence. Throughout the pandemic, her dance lessons were conducted online via Zoom. It was revealed that Shiloh is deeply dedicated to this craft. Interestingly, Angelina finds herself awestruck by Shiloh’s skill, but what truly warms her heart is observing Shiloh’s joy and happiness while dancing.

In 2021, Shiloh, affectionately known as ‘Shi’ by her loved ones, caught the attention of the globe with her impressive dance moves after a video showcasing her performance became widely popular online.

For the better part of my existence, I’ve proudly called myself a member of the Millennium Dance Complex family, a place where I’ve honed my skills to dance-tastic levels! Time and again, my electrifying moves have swept across the digital landscape, leaving hearts pounding and feet tapping in admiration. That’s right; it’s me, your humble dancing devotee, spreading the infectious rhythm of Millennium Dance Complex one viral video at a time!

In May, it was disclosed by Keelan Carter, her long-standing choreographer, to DailyMail.com that she is absolutely not the typical Hollywood child of nepotism.

The skillful choreographer, actor, and designer praised Shiloh, saying, “Shiloh is remarkably gifted in dance, showing commitment and perseverance.

‘She is a sincere and straightforward person who never uses her celebrity status to her advantage.’

‘Shi doesn’t depend on her renowned family background for accomplishing her objectives. To be honest, I wasn’t familiar with her at the start, and it seems her identity is inconsequential, particularly within a dance studio environment.

I get that it’s hard not to just see her as a famous figure, but I really recommend taking the time to look past her celebrity status. Trust me, it’ll be well worth your effort.

Keelan shared with DailyMail.com that he creates his latest dance videos showcasing Shiloh in much the same manner as he shares videos of any dancer who attends his sessions or lessons, if they impress him enough to be highlighted.

It’s been observed that Keelan and many of Shiloh’s dance class friends have shared multiple videos featuring Shiloh. However, unlike typical social media practices, Shiloh is seldom tagged in these videos. This is because everyone involved respects her privacy, as reported by DailyMail.com.

Despite Angelina not directly addressing Shiloh’s dancing skills, she has voiced her support for nurturing the distinct abilities in all of her children, as she has been associated with the UN Refugee Agency for over two decades.

In that interview with Reuters, she stressed the importance of allowing children to freely express themselves however they choose, as this plays a crucial role in their development, and no one should pass judgment on their expressions.

2022 saw Brad, Shiloh’s father, praising her dancing skills to Entertainment Tonight during the promotion of his movie, “Bullet Train”.

He called Shiloh ‘very beautiful’ and said that her talent ‘brings a tear the eye.’

‘I don’t know where she got it from. I’m Mr. Two-Left-Feet here,’ Brad told ET at time.

Since the year 2021, Shiloh’s exceptional dancing skills have been acknowledged, particularly after a clip of her performing to ‘Vegas’ by Rihanna was uploaded onto YouTube by Hamilton Evans, a renowned choreographer based in Los Angeles.

At the Millennium Dance Complex in Studio City, she boldly stepped into the limelight to deliver a spirited, one-minute performance, with two other girls standing alongside her.

In my latest vlog, I couldn’t help but join in as Shiloh took center stage, showcasing her finest steps to Lizzo’s “About Damn Time.” The rest of our dance crew looked on with admiration from the sidelines.

According to a source, Shiloh is quite fond of dancing and she’s exceptionally skilled in it; she’s been attending dance classes for quite some time.

She’s also developed friendships within the dance community, and these friends often communicate in chat groups where they exchange favorite playlists and similar content.

The teachers find her extremely impressive and believe she could reach incredible heights if she chooses to advance further. Shiloh certainly seems capable of doing so.

The source mentioned that Brad and Angelina are extremely pleased with themselves. They would fully support her decision to become a professional, yet they aren’t pressuring her in any way to do so.
