In 2010, Angelina told Reuters that when Shiloh was growing up, she’d thought of herself as “one of the brothers,” and the family supported her fashion choices, with the “Wanted” actress noting:
“I think she is fascinating, the choices she is making. And I would never be the kind of parent to force somebody to be something they are not. I think that is just bad parenting.”

The little girl would wear clothes meant to be worn by boys instead of those created for girls. The reason why her parents allowed herself to represent the way she was, was because of Angelina’s viewpoints, where she stated:
“Children should be allowed to express themselves in whatever way they wish without anybody judging them because it is an important part of their growth.”
The actress felt socially always had something new to learn regarding how we labeled and judged each other. She felt that we still had a lot to learn about individual representation.Source: Getty Images. According to Life & Style, Brad was proud and had a special relationship Shiloh.
