In an attempt to try to reach out to his grandkids over the airwaves, actor Jon Voight made a minor mistake. Voight chatted it up with reporters on the red carpet at this year's BAFTA Tea Party in Britain (the British Oscars.) After giving his blessings to Angelina Jolie's oldest, Maddox, Voight mistakenly sent his greetings to Shakira(video here). Meaning of course to say his grand-daughter's name, Zahara, Voight started over and made no mistake the second time around.
The media has already begun to spin this stroy out of control and not in the favor of the veteran actor. Jolie and gang have not had contact with Voight since an outburst he made a couple years ago on TV in regards to Jolie needing to seek help for her apparent mental problems. Jolie, who once made out with her brother on tv and who once wore a vial of Billy Bob Thorton's blood around her neck could surely stand to benefit from some minor mental therapy.
Also in Voight's defense, Jolie has given her clan nearly un-memorizable names. Maddox, Zahara, and Shilo Nouvel? You might as well have named all the kids pi and then expect Voight to ramble off the number with no problem. Why couldn't she have just used Matt, Sarah, and Shelly?
