Look who's following in Mommy's footsteps! Daily Mail said new still photos from the Angelina Jolie-starred Disney movie "Maleficent" shows precocious Vivienne Pitt in her Hollywood debut role as a young Princess Aurora.
In the photo, the tyke, who was then four years old when the photo was taken, is wearing a yellow dress and fumbles on her fingers while looking up at her mother. Jolie, on the other hand, was in full character visually with her horned helmet and dark cape while sporting some very sharp cheekbones and luscious red lips.
In a screengrab of one of the film's trailers, a carefree Vivienne is seen running through a meadow.
The 38-year-old actress talked about her daughter's screen time in the Disney film reboot, E! Online said that although Jolie is skeptical about introducing her children with actor and "12 Years A Slave" producer Brad Pitt to acting, she said Vivienne playing the younger version of Elle Fanning's character was born out of necessity.
"We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for [Brad Pitt] and I at all. But the other three- and four-year-old [performers] wouldn't come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv," Jolie was quoted telling Entertainment Weekly.
The celebrity couple's other kids were equally excited with her role in the movie too. Adopted children Pax and Zahara also made cameos during Princess Aurora's iconic christening scene where Maleficent curses her. Jolie adds, "I had to walk by them being very mean. Of course, I wanted to stop and wink at them."
The movie, said Daily Mail, will explore the other story of the classical Sleeping Beauty story through Maleficent's eyes. In the original 1959 film, she was only known as the nemesis who had put Princess Aurora to sleep by poisoning the spindle where the latter has pricked her finger with.
