Hello Magazine reported on May 27 that paparazzi captured Pax Thien on a Talaria Sting R MX4, priced around US$3,000, as he exited a tobacco shop. He was wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants, opting for a beanie instead of a helmet.

The publication pointed out that in California, where Pax Thien resides, helmet laws vary by vehicle type and driver age. His electric bike, a Class 3 model, mandates helmet use for riders of all ages.

It is unusual to see Pax Thien in public these days, as he tends to maintain a low profile and avoids the media spotlight.

Sources indicate that he has not pursued higher education and currently works as a game artist using the alias Embtto to stay under the radar. His artwork is abstract, utilizing various materials and techniques.

Page Six has reported that PaxThien is planning to launch an exhibition in Israel soon. Alongside his career, he assists his mother with her newly founded fashion house Atelier Jolie.

It is reported that Pax Thien has a tense relationship with his adoptive father. He garnered attention when he reportedly labeled Pitt as a "bad person" in an Instagram story posted on Father’s Day in November 2023.

His stance isn’t unique in the family, as Jolie and Pitt’s daughters—Zahara, Vivienne, and Shiloh—have recently dropped their "Pitt" surname, opting to use Jolie instead.

Pax Thien, 20, was left by his biological mother soon after birth in Ho Chi Minh City. He was subsequently placed in a local orphanage, where he was given the Vietnamese name Pham Quang Sang. He remained there until his adoption by Jolie, 49, and Pitt, 61, in 2007.
