Angelina Jolie's former right-hand man in Cambodia - who helped the desperate Hollywood star push through Maddox's adoption by becoming his adopted father - reveals why she chose her son out of the hundreds of orphaned babies in the country. Maddox turned 20 on August 5, and the actress' friend and former business associate, Sarath Mounh, tells DailyMail.com he couldn't be more proud of the way he's turned out.Angie faced a red-tape headache with the adoption back in 2002 and asked Sarath to help her out by acting as Maddox's dad on his adoption court documents.Maddox was also added to Sarath's family records, which shows that Maddox was his third child.Having a Cambodian father cut through many of the legal problems Angie faced as a foreigner especially as there was a government crackdown on international adoptions due to baby trafficking.Sarath says he then signed a document for Angie to adopt Maddox from him.Now he reveals why the 46-year-old wanted to adopt from Cambodia after falling in love with the place when she filmed Tomb Raider there in 2000.Sarath tells DailyMail.com why Angie specifically chose Maddox when there were hundreds of babies up for adoption in the developing country.'There are a lot of children in the world that need good care, need a better life. By that time, she wanted to be a mother, but thought it was better to be a mother to some baby who desperately needs good care,' says Sarath.'That's why she decided on Maddox rather than a biological baby. That's what I heard from her, we talked about everything.'He was clever, sharp, smart, a lovely kid, who smiled at people more than any of the other babies. I always remember his smiley face.'As far as I understand from her, when she visited the place [orphanage] and saw Maddox, he smiled at her and got up, instead of crying like all the other babies.'He was smiling right at her, it touched her heart, that's why she chose Maddox.' Sarath has no regrets with personally helping out Angie by becoming Maddox's father. They had become pals after Sarath's non-profit worked alongside the Maddox Jolie Pitt Foundation on conservation issues.'Baby trafficking was very bad at that time in Cambodia, a lot of legal issues needed to be covered and she didn't want it to go wrong,' says Sarath.'My role as a friend and colleague, I was there to help with the legal issues and register Maddox as my adopted son, then I signed a legal document for her to adopt Maddox from me. I don't know why they wanted me to help, or how they got into that position.'
Now Sarath hopes that Maddox and Angie can stay true to her word that Cambodia will always be a part of Maddox's identity.The whole family visited Cambodia for the premiere of her directorial debut First They Killed My Father in 2017, with Angie saying: 'We've been coming back and forth for 17 years, it feels like a second home to me. The children have close ties to the children here, many of them are their best friends. Maddox is happy to be back in his country.' Sarath adds: 'Cambodian people, we were proud and happy for him growing up in such a high class life. Many others in the population don't get that chance. We'd love him to go back and understand his culture.'She was planning to return as much as possible, it was going to be the second home for Maddox.'He grew up in a modern life, if he could make a contribution back to his own people, that would be very nice. If he could learn about his heritage and culture, how he came to be in the orphanage - a horrifying part to his early life.'He could have turned out to be a street kid, a lot of them fall through the net and go out into drug addiction, glue sniffing. The orphanage system in Cambodia is not well managed, a lot of the kids are not protected, donor money only goes so far, and the government doesn't do anything.'He is a lucky boy compared to many, many in Cambodia. It would be nice for him to come back and help the community.' Recently, Maddox's adoption has received widespread publicity after The Sun revealed that fellow Cambodian adoptee Elizabeth Jacobs was making a documentary to find out the truth about adoptions at that time in the late 90s/early 2000s, entitled The Stolen Children.'People ask me if I know if Maddox's parents are still alive and I have no clue,' adds Sarath, a father-of-three, who now lives in Toronto.His family was forced to flee the south East Asian country when the current prime minister Hun Sen banned the opposition party Cambodia National Rescue Party in 2017 and threatened to put its high-ranking members, such as Sarath, in jail.'Society is not much different since Maddox was adopted,' he says.'But the political and diplomatic issues have got worse. I can never go back, unless the government changes. If they are still in a dictatorship, I can't go back at all. That's not just me, a lot of opposition members are exiled right now.'

Angelina Jolie Is A Chic Mary Poppins In Impromptu Rooftop Photo Shoot In Venice

In the latest instalment of Hollywood stars summering on the Med, we bring you Angelina Jolie in Venice. Following a stint in Paris, the actor and former British Vogue cover star nipped over to Italy with her children, where the family is staying at the picturesque city’s chic Cipriani Hotel. While she was there, Jolie made time for a ride on the opulent Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train with the French street artist JR, who also captured the Oscar-winner in a series of spontaneous portraits taken on Venice rooftops, the dome of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute visible behind her. Jolie’s chosen look for the lo-fi shoot? Her favourite kaftan – the same one she wore in her British Vogue cover shoot at her historic six-bedroom, 10-bathroom Los Feliz estate. In addition to the Dior trench coat and Max Mara tailoring she wore in the magazine, the actor and filmmaker modelled some of her favourite vintage pieces and well-loved wardrobe staples, including a childhood dress she now wears as a top, and the simple Brunello Cucinelli kaftan she made sure to throw into her suitcase for her European jaunt. She was photographed strolling through the city in the robe with Dolce & Gabbana mules and her Saint Laurent cross-body bag, but eschewed both to playfully pose barefoot for JR’s lens as the sun went down over Venice. Angelina’s action star roots (she famously played Lara Croft in 2001) may have kicked into gear, as she elegantly navigated the sloped roof, unconcerned by vertigo or the prospect of a loose tile. Let’s hope she treated herself to a gelato afterwards.
