Angelina Jolie’s reclusive godmother Jacqueline Bisset, 79, breaks cover amid family drama over Brad Pitt’s son Pax

Angelina Jolie’s reclusive godmother – a Hollywood legend – has broken cover for the first time in over a year as the actress deals with family crisis.

Jacqueline Bisset, 79, confirmed that she and Jolie, 49, are still on good terms as she spoke briefly while on a trip to a pet shop in Los Angeles this week.

But British-born Bisset, who was close friends with Jolie’s late mother Marcheline Bertrand, stayed tight lipped when asked if she had any contact with the star’s children.

It comes as Jolie’s son Pax – who is said to be estranged from adoptive father Brad Pitt – made headlines after being hospitalized in a horror electric bike crash last month.

Bisset made a name for herself in Hollywood decades ago with starring roles in Murder on the Orient Express and Bullitt.

She grew close to Jolie’s family after starring with her father Jon Voight in thriller The End of the Game in 1971, and over the years has gushed over her A-list goddaughter.

‘I find her rather extraordinary,’ she said at the Los Angeles premiere of Jolie’s movie Original Sin in 2001.

‘Her whole aura is breathtaking, and it’s amazing how much she’s changed in different stages [of life]. She’s evolved so much.’

When asked this week whether she is still close with Angelina, she replied simply: ‘Yes, everything’s good.’

Jacqueline, who turns 80 in September, wore a large smile on her shopping trip for pet items, stopping briefly to answer questions.

She donned a comfortable blue shirt, jeans, sandals and stylish sunglasses for the jaunt in Los Angeles.
