LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pax Jolie-Pitt’s need for speed has finally caught up with him, and his mother, Angelina Jolie, isn’t taking any more chances.
Following a string of road accidents, including a terrifying e-bike crash that landed him in the ICU, the ‘Maria’ actress is now enforcing strict rules before allowing her 21-year-old son back on the road.
Pax Jolie-Pitt’s speed streak can be traced back to childhood adventures with Brad Pitt
According to an insider, Pax Jolie-Pitt’s daredevil streak may have roots in his childhood adventures with his father, Brad Pitt.
“It was obvious he loved the thrill of going fast,” the source said, noting that Pax’s early days spent “out on dune buggies, racing around the sand in Santa Barbara” fed his appetite for adrenaline.
While Angelina now regrets allowing Pax to embrace that thrill-seeking behavior, she knows she can’t fully control his choices.
“But what can she do? He’s an adult, and she can’t stop him from riding his electric bike,” the insider explained.
Still, Angelina is doing what she can to encourage safer habits.
As part of the consequences of his recent crash, Pax has agreed to take defensive driving lessons. He’s also signed a contract promising he’ll “always wear his helmet.”
“It’s still going to give her anxiety every time he leaves the house on his bike,” the source added. “All she can do is hope that Pax is realizing how lucky he is to be alive with his brain intact — and that he will act more responsibly on the road going forward.”
“She’d love it if Pax would take these accidents as a warning and give up on this need for speed, but that’s very unlikely,” a source told In Touch.
