Most people don't know that Angelina Jolie has a very famous dad

People are only just realising who Angelina Jolie's dad is and that he's extremely famous.

One said: "Jon Voight is Angelina Jolie’s dad ? wtf."

"No but is there anyone in hollywood that isn’t a nepotism baby? why am i only just finding out that angelina jolie’s dad is jon voight?? (condolences to her for that btw) [sic]," another wrote.

A third commented: "WHY DID I JUST LEARN THAT ANGELINA JOLIE'S DAD IS JON VOIGHT?!?!? I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN THIS CLUELESS FOR 23 YEARS OH MY GOD."

Voight's acting career first took off in the late 1960s when he starred in Midnight Cowboy as Joe Buck.

He's also featured in films such as Deliverance (1972), Zoolander (2001) and even alongside his daughter in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001).

As well as acting for film, Voight has also starred in several television shows and theatrical productions, from Western drama series Gunsmoke to an Off-Broadway revival of A View From A Bridge.

As well as Jolie, Voight also has a son named James Haven, who shares the same mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, as Jolie. Haven is similarly an actor.

However, conversation surrounding Voight hasn't only picked up online because of many people's realisation that – because he's Jolie's father – she's subsequently a nepotism baby. In addition, Twitter users have also called out the conversation online surrounding Euphoria actor Sydney Sweeney's mum in comparison to the lack of conversation surrounding Voight.

Twitter users have since been quick to point out Voight's own controversial political ties – the actor having publicly spoken out in support for former president Donald Trump.

One Twitter user wrote: "If ya’ll are mad at Sydney, just wait until you find out about Angelina Jolie’s dad."

Another said: "People still cape for Woody Allen and Johnny Depp yet Sydney Sweeney is getting attacked over her families inconsequential politics? You ever ask Angelina Jolie about *her* dad's politics?"
