Whatever Happened To Angelina Jolie's Brother?

Posted by Noelle Montes on Thursday, May 2, 2024

James Haven became famous — or should we say infamous? — in 2000 when he accompanied Angelina Jolie to the 2000 Academy Awards. Although Jolie won the Oscar that night for "Girl, Interrupted”, she made bigger headlines for her public displays of affection with her sibling during the ceremony. While accepting her Oscar, Jolie expressed, in no uncertain terms, her undying love for her brother. "I'm in shock, and I'm so in love with my brother right now," she said, per Us Weekly. "He just held me and said he loved me, and I know he's so happy for me. And, um, thank you for that."

The strange statement left a lot of people scratching their heads. What exactly did Jolie mean by "in love?" It wasn't entirely clear. Either way, things got more confusing when the pair locked lips on the red carpet later that night.

As you can probably imagine, it got a lot of people talking. Some claimed it was indicative of an incestuous relationship, while others, like documentarian Ian Halperin, thought it was a well-executed attention grab. "[I]t was mainly a publicity stunt and it worked," Halperin told Radar Online, but he did admit, "On the flip side people agree the kiss was too close for comfort." Umm yeah, way too close.
