Sorry John, she's not my hero. BTW, do you have any chance? If you made her, you have no choice but see her as a hero no matter what.

They may not be on speaking terms, but Jon Voight says he still looks up to his estranged daughter Angelina Jolie.
"People who raise children properly are heroes to me because it takes a lot of work," Voight, 69, told Usmagazine.com at the Hollywood premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall on Thursday. "And when they do it with joy and love, there's nothing more beautiful."
Of Jolie's charitable work, he told Us, "I think she's terrific. God bless her!"
Voight — who hasn’t spoken to his daughter since 2002 when he said that she had “severe emotional problems” during a TV interview — called her latest pregnancy "wonderful.
"I'm very excited, and I'm sending my love to the family," he told Us. "They're getting to be a bigger family — it's great!
Added Voight, "It's nice to see people embracing family and loving that whole process."

Last night Hollyscoop caught up with Jon Voight at the 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' Los Angeles movie premiere where we talked to him about his estranged daughter Angelina Jolie and her pregnancy.
When asked if Jolie is having twins Jon laughed and said, "You think I'm gonna tell anything? You think I'm gonna be in that spot? I don't know nothing about it."
We asked Jon if he's been in contact with Angelina during her recent pregnancy, to which he replied, "Well I don't want to say too much about it, but I'm pretty sure you know, we'll get together soon."

Angelina doesn't have anything to repent about. She is a wonderful, caring person. She respects your right to your beliefs far more than you respect hers. If you really believe that Angelina did something to Jennifer Aniston I can't help uyou. I can't stand Julia Roberts but I don't even believe JR set out to hurt Keifer's wife or Vera Moder. I think she just wanted what she wanted. But Angelina has repeatedly said she didn't have an affair with Brad Pitt before his marital split-up. Brad says they didn't hook up before his marriage ended and Jennifer Aniston says the break-up of her marriage wasn't about any third parties. Why do you think you know better?
If Brad and Angelina no longer think of marriage as a special institution it is no wonder. Brad's very good friends split up in 2007 after 17 years of marriage. His good friend David Fincher is divorced for over 12 years. His good friend Melissa Etheridge can't get married in California. He and Angelina have three marriages between them. As AJ said, they have made their vows and promises to each other. They are planning their family, enriching their world and living their lives with their children. Would that some married people would follow their examples. Please try to forgive those you believe have trespassed against you. It will lighten your heart.
2:00 you sound like you're not well.
This is supposed to be a country where everybody can worship the way they want to. I have nothing to say against people who don't believe in God, but I hate that there are so many people on here that will criticize anyone who mentions the word "God." You take the religious freedom away from us. Also, God said to "judge righteously." Nobody will go to hell by recognizing that this woman has done many bad things in her life. There is no real way to know if she is truly repentant, but God teaches that you don't have to lie down in front of someone who is a continual liar. You don't HAVE to trust them. Because she preaches things she doesn't do, I don't trust her. I feel bad for what she's done to Jennifer Aniston. It's a major tresspass, any way you look at it. I'm not a sinner. And I do think there's a great conspiracy between a couple that have one or two children a year and refuse to marry. They seem bored with each other. The only time things SEEM to be good between them is when she's pregnant. That's not good ground for a relationship.
Whether she speaks to him or not, there is no denying she is his daughter. Angelina looks EXACTLY like Jon Voight.

THANK YOU! I agree 100%!
THE OLD GOAT IS USING ANGIE TO GET ATTENTION FOR HIMSELF. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THIS WOMAN WAS GROWING UP, ARSEHOLE?
I agree with you. She must have been very proud of her kids. And she must have been a great mom as Angie is following in her shoes. My dad too was a total prick and I have very little to do with him these days. He doesn't deserve anything else. I just love these old guys that spent their youth screwing around on their wives, ignoring their children, just plain being selfish. And then decades later when they are too old to screw around and nobody wants them anymore they whine and cry that they are lonely. Well. Too bad they wouldn't have put any time in when they were needed. Don't come crying the blues now, creep.
The "women" who come on these sites just live for a chance to slag Angie. Can you imagine what their hideous lives must be like that they keep that much hatred alive? Wow! Angie's only problem is she was far too honest with the public as she was maturing. She never covered anything up -- always answered questions directly. And now, decades later, there are still such sad losers on the planet that they live to keep those stories alive. And if the truth isn't juicy enough they'll just create shlt out of thin air. As a fan I get really frustrated but I bet Angie and Brad just have a good laugh about it -- if they even think about it, which is more likely the case.
I love Angelina's fans!!!! I bet she does too!!!
Angelina's mother raised two wonderful human beings, despite Jon Voight's emotional abuse. I hope she realized what super people Angelina and James are before her death, she always seemed to be right on in her statements about her children. If Jon Voight was so "strict" with Angelina why didn't he do something when she was actually having severe emotional problems as a teen, instead of waiting fourteen years to trash her publicly on a "entertainment" gossip show on national television? The longer Angie is away from Voight the healthier and healthier she gets. As a person who was abandoned by a parent I would think long and hard about allowing them into my children's' lives. Voight has never been supportive of AJ, never publicly praised her or even hinted at regret for the damage he could have done to her career or her family with his misstatements. He waited until she was turning her life around (without his involvement) to trash her. What a jerk! Unless you have been in Angie's shoes you have no right to judge her.
Do you also criticize Halle Berry, D.L. Hughley, Jennifer Aniston for not seeing their parents? If Halle Berry's dad was a famous actor who had abandoned her, would she be criticized for not letting him near her baby?
She is such a wonderful parent no wonder her kids have no relationship with their grandfather.
12:35 BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH!!!! THAT'S ALL I HEAR READING YOUR CRAP!! jealousy is a b-itch, huh?? stop hating on this woman. you wanna call her "teen pictures" slutty???? ARE YOU KIDDING?? those pictures are beautiful and sexy, NOT slutty at all. vanessa hudgen's naked pic's are slutty, jaime lynn getting preggers at 16 is slutty, miley cyrus dressing like a slut is slutty, all those young "stars" are the real sluts. angelina's mother did A GREAT JOB RAISING A REAL WOMAN. i think your mother is the one who did a crappy job raising a haiting, judging b-itch like you!!! what makes YOU perfect?? nothing, so shut it trick!! you're just jealous of angelina and obsessed with her. get a life. get laid. get a dog. smoke a bow. something that will keep you away from this post!!!!!
Should these two reconcile? This is a question I prayerfully considered for years in regards to my mother. I went a little over 13 years without seeing her and she did not meet my children until they were old enough to understand the danger she brings to our lives. I did remain in telephone contact and was always civil, but carefully guarded my children. My mon is old now and has needed my help. I have travelled great distances to assist her in the past year and a half. She seems harmless, but her personality still loves to stir up things, so I am still very careful around her and measure my words. Just thinking about contact is often enough to make me very nervous.
All this to say, we truly don't know the situation. It is up to this mother to determine, based on their history, the type of contact she may have with her parent
Why should she reconcile with him when they get so much press for being estranged?

Maybe Angelina could have bought her own damn car. I'm sure she got paid for those slutty pics she took when she was sixteen. Maybe her father SHOULD have been around more. Her mom did a crappy job of raising her. Her boyfriend lived with her when she was 14 or 15. What parent allows that? Angelina obviously had some mental health issues when she was growing up. It's not that uncommon for a child to hang with the parent who let them get away with everything and detest the parent who calls them on their crap. Angelina is very immature and selfish. I can't wait to see how her kids turn out when they're old enough to understand just who, and what, their mother is.
If my father would have called my newly-adopted baby from Cambodia "a little enemy" I likely wouldn't be speaking to him either. He's always struck me as a big arse! What a very revealing thing to say about a baby.
YOU KNOW WHAT. i DO AGREE THAT ANGIE SHOULD MAKE UP WITH HER FATHER BUT HE'S BEEN PRETTY CRUEL TO HER. HE ONCE CALLED HIS OWN DAUGHTER A PHYSCO. HE ALSO CALLED HER SON MADDOX A "LITTLE ENEMY" WHEN SHE BROUGHT HIM HOME FROM CAMBODIA. THAT'S JUST PLAIN WRONG. WHAT GRANDPA DOES THAT? PLUS, WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER HE CHEATED ON HER MOM A DOZEN OF TIMES AND HE DIDN'T SPEND ANY TIME WITH THEM. AND HE IS A RICH MOVIE STAR AND HE REFUSED TO BUY HER A CAR IN HIGH SCHOOL. I THINK ANGIE HAS MANY FAULTS AS WELL BUT HER FATHER MUST HAVE NOT BEEN A GREAT ROLE MODEL. SO I CAN SEE WHY SHE SHE'S ESTRANGED FROM HIM.
"I don't see where all of the Anti-Angie people get these false reports. If she is a joke in the senate why don't you give me an example... i want to see 1 quote from a senator joking about angelina... maybe a website or something. I don't think she's fame hungry at all... that would be heidi. I believe angelina is right up there with those women and that she's doing it for the right reasons... even if she isn't who cares... at least she's still doing something... more than most celebrities."
I LOVE YOUR COMMENT (ABOVE) AND YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT. ANYONE WHO DISLIKES ANGIE SEEMS TO BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN MAKE AS MANY ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HER AS THEY CAN DREAM UP!!!! No one will ever send you a website or a quote because they don't exist. The small, lumpy toads that leave these stupid rumors have soap-opera minds.
Same as the ones who try to use the Bible as an example but refuse to address these very well-known scriptures: He who is without sin, cast the first stone. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Thou shalt not hate. Judge not lest ye be judged. They are such huge hypocrites they've lost all credibility.
They encourage lies such as:
Angie doesn't love Shiloh.
Brad's family hates Angie.
Angie has no fans.
Marianne Pearl can't stand Angie.
The senate makes jokes about Angie.
She's not a humanitarian.
She's only doing it for publicity.
-- and more.
With every lie they mutter they reveal how dumb they really are. Thank God Angie has such great fans that will always love and defend her.
Hate IS a sin. You WILL be judged.
You know what? There are so many wonderful people in the world who do great acts of kindness and charity and they do it without fanfare or praise. They do it simply because they see a need that needs to be met and they do their best to fulfill that need. It doesn't matter if it's a small or grand gesture...it is just done. I admire the strangers who do what they can to help others and don't feel the need to hold a press conference over it. There is something so unnatural and self-serving when someone feels the need to say, "This is what I did. It's a good thing, right? Everyone see what a kind, generous person I am. Please let everyone know what I am doing and take my picture so there is proof." Brad and Angelina are exploiting anyone and everyone they can in the name of self-promotion. And so many people buy into it. They are trying to buy approval and acceptance. What they don't understand is that you can't buy respect from people who have values and morals. There is something to be said when so many question your motives. If it's truly from the heart, then it is moving and beautiful. So many don't feel that from Brad and Angelina. It's a nice try, though.

The "greatest humanitarians ever"? This is truly the most misinformed statement I have ever read. I feel sorry for you.
I know let her think for herself! I am sure she doesn't give a crap about what US magazine readers think lol
Should Angie reconcile with her dad?...Who are we to to comment? I don't know them personally.

simply.. i disagree.

Not true. Angelina said in an interview that she WOULD have a relationship with her father.. but that she would watch what she says around him now. You don't know the whole story... what we do know is that he said something bad about her, he cheated on her mother, and he wasn't around a lot while she was growing up. I don't speak to my father... there are too many reasons to list why i don't... it may be the same w/ AJ.
FATHER KNOWS BEST.
GOOD FOR JON FOR CONTINUING TO REACH OUT TO HIS DAUGHTER DESPITE HER BEHAVIOR. SHE WILL REGRET HER ACTIONS SOMEDAY WHEN HER OWN CHILDREN GET OLDER AND START TO REBEL AGAINST HER.
I like AJ, BP & JA. All this hate spewing is so sad. Everyone has their good points & bad points. Even the rich & famous. PEACE & pray for our troops!
I think Angie and Brad are very beautiful people and the greatest humanatarians ever. It is sad that the kids do not have a relationship w/ their grandfater Voight but he should not have said such negative and untrue things about his own daughter. they(Angie & Brad) are great parents and it takes special people to adopt. So for the haters out there why don't u deal w/ ur own issue and quit bad mothing the parents of 4 beautiful children.
angelina only cares about herself, if her dad was someone the media craved for than saint angelina would be daddy,s angel, fact is she,s got brad pitt so she does not need anything from anyone, she has all the power and magazines deals eg photos of her children what she charges top dollor for, now she,s trying to be political, no way trust me when i say this, she is the butt of senates jokes, she makes comments about princess diana, mother theresa, they had class, commitment, and everything they did came from the heart, angelina only agenda is to as much publicity for herself and her bank balance, and the donations they gave was shiloh and pax sale of photos, the jolie pitt fund should be called(the hello and people magazine fund)
i think jon voight is right she is a psycho, but now hes going back on it now as he regrets being estranged, but i bet deep down he still thinks shes a nutbar too
