Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie are speaking again
It must almost be time for the holidays, because what else could explain the heartwarming tale that Jon Voight has reconciled with freaky daughter Angelina Jolie? Well, besides peace on Earth and the end of world hunger, we mean.
"We're in touch, but not regularly," Voight told Us. "We love each other and that's the most important thing."
Okay, so it's not quite the breakthrough Hallmark reunion we had not cared about, but it's something. The 70-year-old hadn't spoken to his daughter since he went on Access Hollywood in 2001 and told her to get help for "serious mental problems" (that was around her brother-kissing, Billy Bob Thornton blood-wearing phase).
A family friend says "they met face-to-face back in February, and are again on speaking terms:"Angie made the initial contact," the source says. "Brad (Pitt) has been supportive -- a key factor in her reaching out."
Of course Brad pushed her to be nice -- they need all the babysitters they can get!
