Speaking of being a hands-on mom, earlier this year the award-winning actress took extra measures to ensure her son Pax's safety, particularly regarding road safety.

As shared by The Blast, Pax, her second oldest child, has raised concerns due to his high-speed lifestyle, which has resulted in multiple accidents. He crashed his Tesla in May 2024 in a fatal accident and also experienced a traumatic e-bike accident in July of the same year.

Despite these incidents, Pax's thirst for adventure did not stop, leading to another accident in January 2025, shortly after being released from the ICU. 

In response, she implemented a contract requiring Pax to take necessary precautions before driving, emphasizing her commitment to his well-being.

An insider shared that the actress made her son agree to take "defensive driving lessons" and sign a contract to always wear his helmet when driving a bike.

Pax's passion for speed can be traced back to his childhood experiences with his estranged father, Brad Pitt. According to sources, Pax enjoyed racing dune buggies and speeding through the sands of Santa Barbara, an activity that sparked his thrill for fast-paced adventures.

While the actress initially saw no harm in fostering this love for speed, she now regrets encouraging it. However, as an adult, Angelina understands that Pax is free to pursue his interests, including riding his electric bike, and there is little she can do to change that.

Despite having her son take defensive driving lessons and promise to wear his helmet, the source noted Angelina's worries would never disappear thanks to Pax's previous crashes.

"All she can do is hope that Pax is realizing how lucky he is to be alive with his brain intact and that he will act more responsibly on the road going forward," the insider concluded.

Angelina Jolie's 50th birthday celebration will definitely be memorable for the mother-of-six!
