Now this is awkward. Angelina Jolie has tried to keep her kids out of the spotlight, but eldest son Maddox is answering questions about what his family life is really like. Maddox, who just started college in South Korea, gave a rare interview about his tense relationship with dad Brad Pitt. He finally shed some light on why their relationship is so strained.

In Touch obtained the exclusive footage of Maddox, 18, answering questions about his famous family. First, he was asked if his five siblings were happy for him as he started university. “I think so,” he admitted.

Then he was asked if he thought Brad, 55, would visit him at school anytime soon. Maddox is attending Yonsei University in Songdo, South Korea. “Um, I don’t know about that … what’s happening,” Maddox confessed about the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star.

“Whatever happens, happens,” Maddox said about his hopes for their relationship in the future.
