Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Suri Cruise at 15: how do their teenage years compare? From close bonds with mums Katie Holmes and Angelina to strained ones with dads Brad and Tom
- Both girls are Hollywood royalty though they live on opposite coasts, with Suri often seen about New York in laid-back ‘Sarah Jessica Parker’ style
- Shiloh recently reinvented her look, appearing at red carpet premieres for the latest Marvel film Eternals in designer frocks, including her mum’s Dior gown
Back in the noughties, the celebrity world was buzzing around two of the biggest power couples the industry had ever seen. Movie megastar Tom Cruise was jumping on Oprah Winfrey’s couch describing his love for Dawson’s Creek sweetheart Katie Holmes, and Brad Pitt shocked the world when he ended his A-list marriage to Jennifer Aniston to be with co-star Angelina Jolie. If you weren’t there, it was pretty much the only thing that anyone could talk about at the time.
As we watched Shiloh and Suri grow up through the paparazzi lens, their lives changed drastically over the years.
Now both 15, the two celebrity teenagers’ lives are on very different tracks, but here are some reminders of their similarities.
A-list debuts
Back in 2006, celebrity news and tabloids were at their peak, so it’s no surprise that Shiloh and Suri bagged two of the biggest magazine cover deals of that year … and of all time.
While Cruise and Holmes debuted Suri in a 22-page spread in Vanity Fair, Shiloh showed up on the cover of celebrity title People magazine. The New York Post reported that People bought the pictures for US$4.1 million after a bidding war with rival magazines, with Pitt and Jolie giving the proceeds to charity.
