Angelina Jolie’s Sweet Response to Young Boy’s Adoption Question Wins Hearts at TIFF 2025

Date:

Hollywood icon Angelina Jolie once again proved why she is admired worldwide for her kindness and grace. At the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where she attended the world premiere of her latest film Couture, Jolie had an adorable interaction with a young reporter that left fans touched.

The heartwarming exchange began when Liam, a child reporter for Virgin Radio Toronto, asked Angelina a playful question about which snack she might hide in her outfit. Jolie responded with a laugh, pulling out a toffee, before happily accepting Liam’s offered treat and saying: “Oh, I love it and I’ll definitely be eating this during the premiere.”

The most charming moment came when Liam innocently asked, “Will you adopt me?” Jolie smiled warmly and replied: “I’m sure you have a great mummy and daddy. But you do remind me of my boys. My two boys are from Southeast Asia. Where are you from?” When Liam answered, “Toronto,” Angelina further asked about his great-grandparents. On hearing “China,” she smiled and encouraged him: “Very nice to meet you. You are very good at this; you should keep doing it.”

The interaction quickly went viral, with fans flooding social media with admiration. Comments such as “She’s such an angel”, “The only thing sweeter than candy is this moment”, and “Are you kidding me? This is the most endearing thing” showcased how deeply Jolie’s warmth resonated with audiences.
