American actor, screenwriter and producer James Haven is better known as Angelina Jolie's brother. Today he lives with her and, after the actress’s divorce from Brad Pitt, helps raise the children. As an actor, he is well known for his feature films “Temptation”, “Gia”, “Monster’s Ball”.
James was born in California (Los Angeles) on May 11, 1973, together with his twin sister, in an acting family.
Parents are celebrities Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. As a child, James was very close to his sister Angelina, but as they grew older, the relationship in the family was the most controversial. For example, Jolie and her father became famous in Hollywood, but the success of brother James and his mother Marcheline Bertrand turned out to be more modest.
When Haven was little, his parents divorced in scandal.
The ambitious mother and her children soon moved to New York, where 13-year-old James entered one of the prestigious schools - Beverly Hills High School. Even during his school years, the guy realized that he wanted to become an actor. After graduation, he entered the School of Film and Television, which today is better known as the USC School of Cinematic Arts. After graduating, James began acting in films. His film debut took place in 1998, but his roles were episodic and did not bring him popularity. The actor starred in films with his sister, and for many years remained in the shadow of her fame. Well-known projects include “Seduction” (2001), “Gia” (1998), “Backroom” (1998), “Monster’s Ball” (2001), “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” (2004).
What does Angelina Jolie's brother do?
At the beginning of the new millennium, James received the George Lucas Award, and in 2005 he directed the documentary film Trudell. Since 2006, Haven worked as the executive director of the Los Angeles festival “Artivist”, from 2007 to this day he is associated only with the name of the talented actress Jolie.
In 2009, he came to faith and serves the church. The actor is involved in charity work, accompanies his sister to social events and international festivals, and helps in raising children and his own nephews.
From time to time, Haven receives invitations from directors, but he gets episodic roles. Recent projects include the dramas “Memorial Album,” “Deep in the Heart,” and “Deadly Hunt,” and the thrillers “Ocean Park,” “Save Before Dawn,” and “Lost.” Also remembered from the comedy series “The Game”.

They are so different that it is hard to believe in their family connections.
Be that as it may, they are closest relatives, children of the same parents - you can see what the siblings of the most beautiful celebrities in Hollywood look like below.
Julia and Lisa Roberts
The beauty Julia Roberts' sister Lisa is also an actress. True, she failed to achieve such stunning success on the big screen. Basically, Lisa starred in episodic roles. In some films, by the way, the girl appeared together with Julia. Despite numerous attempts, Lisa never managed to get out of the shadow of her younger sister.
Robert Pattison and his sister Victoria
British actor, star of the vampire saga "Twilight" Robert Pattison has an older sister, Victoria. The girl’s life is not connected with the acting world: Vicky works in advertising. Perhaps this is for the better, because it is possible that Victoria, like Julia Roberts’ sister, would have to constantly be in the shadow of her handsome brother.
Brad and Doug Pitt
The life of the younger brother of one of the most handsome men in Hollywood is connected with small business. Doug Peet lives in Missouri and runs a computer company. And recently, on the advice of his older brother, Doug acted as an actor for the first time in his life - he starred in a video telling about how the relatives of stars live. According to the man, after that they began to recognize him on the street and ask for autographs.
Angelina Jolie and James Haven
The older brother of Hollywood film star James Haven, a professional actor and producer, is a big exception on this list. In a professional environment, he is known for such films as “Temptation”, “Monster’s Ball”, “Save Before Dawn”. James looks an awful lot like his famous sister. True, the wide smile and miniature nose did not play into the man’s hands. If these components made Jolie a spectacular beauty, then with James it turned out differently. Unfortunately, James failed to achieve any level of success with his sister and gain fame as a handsome man.
Nicole and Antonia Kidman
Although Nicole Kidman's younger sister Antonia was unlucky with her typical Hollywood appearance, she still chose a public profession. Antonia lives in Australia and works as a presenter and producer on local television. The journalistic career of the film star’s sister is developing very successfully.
George Clooney and Adelia Zeidler
The older sister of Hollywood handsome George Clooney, Adelia, is the complete opposite of the actor. The woman leads a very ordinary life, does not appear in public, does not communicate with the press, and does not even try to be at least a little like her star brother.
Although, it is worth noting that in childhood the brother and sister were very similar.
Lindsay and Ali Lohan
The sister of Hollywood hooligan Lindsay Lohan Ali is a model, and part-time actress and singer. The girl is not as famous and successful as her older sister, and Ali’s appearance, according to some tabloids, does not reach “film standards.” However, she looks good too!
Tom Cruise and Leigh Ann Devette
Tom Cruise's older sister Lee Anne is a professional publicist. Like the actor, the woman is an open follower of the Church of Scientology. For a long time, Lee Ann worked for her brother and was his official press agent. However, in 2006, the business union broke up.
Victoria Beckham and Louise Adams
The sister of British model and singer Victoria Beckham, Louise, is 39 years old. She is two years younger than her famous relative, however, the paparazzi, who from time to time watch the girls together, constantly note that Louise looks much older.
Miley and Trace Cyrus
The brother of singer Miley Cyrus, Trace, was unlucky to have a perfect smile and impeccable facial features. However, this did not stop the guy from making a musical career, albeit in a slightly different genre. Trace Cyrus is the lead singer of the American band Metro Station. In addition to music, the guy is involved in business - he owns From Backseats to Bedrooms, a clothing company.

James Haven: personal life
The actor did not communicate with his father for a long time, but after the death of his mother from cancer in 2007, he decided to reconcile with him. In 2009, he chose faith in God and serves the church. Haven is not married, does not have his own children or even a home. But at home he is always surrounded by six nephews, to whom he gives all his fatherly love.
Orientation
There have always been conflicting rumors in the press about James' sexuality. He was labeled as a homosexual, and later accused of having an affair with his own sister. It was never possible to find out the truth; he is a very secretive person in life.
Angelina Jolie and brother: relationship
James decided to talk about his understanding with his sister only in 2007. The actor admitted that their relationship cannot be called simple. There were different periods in life, but they were able to maintain warm, friendly communication, and even live together.
Fans still have many questions on this topic. The intrigue was heightened by an incident on the red carpet when Angelina and her brother passionately kissed in public.
James Haven and Jolie: kiss on the red carpet
When Angelina won her first Oscar in 2000, her twin brother James came with her to the ceremony. The actress was so happy about receiving the award and universal recognition that she kissed him on the lips right on stage. And this is with a huge audience, almost all over the world.
This passionate kiss was not paternal or friendly. The press started talking about a secret romance between Jolie and Haven. James himself dryly commented on this piquant situation and precedent. He openly stated that the kiss was not French. It’s just that emotions overwhelmed me at a particular moment, so Angelina couldn’t restrain herself, she was moved.
This incident will be remembered for a long time. Knowing the lifestyle of a Hollywood actress, you can expect anything from her. Jolie loves to stir up interest in her person, even in such an extraordinary and provocative way.
Angelina Jolie's main men
She became what she became, largely thanks to her men. Without them, Angelina Jolie would not have gone through all the circles of psychological hell in her youth. But she would not have become a UN Goodwill Ambassador, an amazing actress, wife and mother.
FATHER JON VOIGHT AND BLOODY PASSIONS
When Jolie was two years old, her father left the family. His wife, Marcheline Bertrand, was left with two young children, Angelina and her brother James.
Jolie grew up as a difficult girl. Here, for example, is what she remembers: “Inflicting wounds on myself as a child and pain gave me the feeling that I was alive...” When Jolie goes to see a psychotherapist, he will blame her parents for her problems - they say they didn’t give enough affection and the girl tried to drown out her soul. physical pain. “I hated all the fathers and mothers who abandon their children. I didn’t believe in love or friendship,” the actress herself complained about her unhappy childhood.
For 20 years, the actress didn’t want to hear about her dad at all, unable to forgive him for leaving his family. Then she changed her anger to mercy and invited him to star in the film “Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.” But there the relatives finally quarreled.
JOHNNY LEE MILLER AND DRUGS
Before meeting her first husband, Jolie was on the verge of despair. And even... she ordered herself to be a killer. The potential killer, fortunately, turned out to be a conscientious person and dissuaded the customer from dying.
To take a break from her dark thoughts, Angelina went to the set of the film “Hackers,” where she met Jonny Lee Miller, her first husband. The wedding in 1996 was more than strange - the bride in leather pants and a white T-shirt, with her husband’s name written on her back in blood. “It seemed to me that blood was more binding than a signature on a piece of paper,” Jolie later explained. It turned out not: the couple broke up after 18 months. And then it started: during the break between her first and second husbands, Jolie managed to try heroin and LSD. She herself spoke about this in an interview, although she did not forget to add that “she had already given up everything.”
JAMES HAVEN VOIGHT, BROTHER, AND THE BAN OF MARRY
The scandal occurred when paparazzi captured a completely unrelated kiss between Angie and her brother James at the Oscars in 2000. The public was shocked - it was almost incest! At that time, Jolie gained a reputation as “the meanest girl in Hollywood.”
Meanwhile, Angie's brother is one of the main people in her life. James is still single. “Perhaps I’m still single because my sister is too picky about the girls I introduce to her,” his brother explains to the press. “But if I pay attention to any woman, she will have to resemble my sister.”
With such a position, he will vegetate as a bachelor: go and find an equally extravagant and beautiful passion!
BILLY BOB THORNTON, SECOND HUSBAND, AND KNIVES UNDER THE PILLOW
In 1999, Billy and Angie worked together on the film Flight Control. Their flirtation grew into a second marriage. Well, here the newlyweds distinguished themselves by giving each other a wedding gift... tombstones and plots in the cemetery.
Angelina and Bob became completely bad - she wore a pendant with her husband’s blood on her chest (he had the same one), got a tattoo with his name (which had to be removed with age), gave scandalous interviews, where she talked about her passion for the topic of death and how that there are knives under her pillow. They separated in 2003, and cannot be said to be friends. It seems that the stumbling block was Maddox, the first child whom Angie was going to adopt, and Bob was against it. The actress chose motherhood - and she made the right decision.
BRAD PITT AND FAMILY IDYLL
The artist finally calmed down with Brad. This can be seen even from her photographs. A loving husband, six children (three of his own, three adopted), popularity.
The relationship with Brad began on the set of the film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Pitt left his wife Jennifer Aniston for Jolie. However, at the end of 2009, everyone started talking about the fact that a divorce was brewing in the Jolie-Pitt family. They say Brad doesn’t want to hear about adopting at least one more child, but Jolie just can’t stop...
But lately, instead of a divorce, the public has been waiting for the wedding of the star couple - after Jolie publicly knelt down and asked Pitt for her hand in marriage. In general, she can’t be denied extravagance!
