Angelina's comforting embrace for her new son

Angelina Jolie's newly adopted son looks somewhat overwhelmed by his celebrity lifestyle.
Pax Thien Jolie grips the Hollywood star's shoulder as the pilot and Angelina's aides crowd around him.
But the actress keeps him in a comforting embrace as she carries him into the waiting jet at Noi Bai airport in Hanoi.

Angelina with Pax Thien
She was followed into the plane by two minders who carried her adopted son Maddox, 5, from Cambodia and adopted daughter Zahara, 2, from Ethiopia on board.
Little Pax Thien has already had his first glossy photo shoot. In a sun dappled picture taken by Per-Anders Pettersson for Getty images, Pax and Angelina look out wistfully on the Vietnamese landscape. He was also snapped with his new sister, Zahara.
But Jolie has said she felt guilty for bringing her new son into the media glare. "Photographs and press coverage will make him upset. I'm very worried about that. I would like to say I'm sorry for bringing this into Pax's life," she reportedly told a press agency.
The youngster was said to have cried when he met the star at the Ho Chi Minh City orphanage. But the Tomb Raider star bent down and hugged him, speaking a few words in Vietnamese. "Khong sao dau, khong sao dau" (No problem, no problem) she said.
The three-year-old boy was renamed Pax Thien, after the Latin word for peace and the Vietnamese word for heaven.
Angelina's adopted children are carried on board
Vietnamese regulations don't allow unmarried couples to co-adopt, so Jolie adopted Pax as a single parent while Pitt remained in Los Angeles with daughter Shiloh, where he is filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
