Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt, the son of Hollywood actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has marked a major milestone by graduating from high school before stepping into the ring for Muay Thai later the same day.
The 17-year-old surprised classmates and parents during his graduation ceremony in Los Angeles when he revealed he would be competing that evening.
He jokingly told the audience he was ready to “knock them out”, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
His mother, Angelina Jolie, was seen celebrating the occasion and later attended the event to support him.
Knox then swapped his graduation gown for fight gear and faced an opponent in the martial arts exhibition.
The teenager has been actively training in Muay Thai over the past few years. Reports showed that he won a competition in Los Angeles last year, with Angelina and his twin sister, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, cheering from ringside.
Despite largely staying out of the spotlight, Knox has continued to attract attention for his growing success in the sport.
