Brad is set to have been horrified by seeing Pax’s injuries<\/p>\n

For eight years, they\u2019ve waged a bitter public war against each other \u2013 with little sign of reprieve. But some of the finer details of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie\u2019s ongoing court proceedings have paled into insignificance in recent months, following their son Pax\u2019s e-bike crash in July. The 20 year old, who has reportedly been estranged from Brad ever since his parents split in 2016, suffered \u201ccomplex trauma\u201d after colliding with a car, with reports flooding in after the accident that onlookers initially believed he\u2019d died on impact. Thankfully, he regained consciousness soon after paramedics arrived, and has been recovering ever since.<\/p>\n
But earlier this week, we got a hint as to just how severe Pax\u2019s injuries were, as he made his first official appearance since the near-fatal incident. Joining Angelina on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of her new film\u00a0Without Blood,\u00a0which she\u2019s written and directed, Pax wore a smart suit and shades; but it was the painful-looking scars etched across his forehead, and an arm cast under his black suit jacket, that attested to his ongoing recovery. This was the second time Pax has been seen since hurting himself, after being pictured in LA last week; but the hat he was wearing at the time \u2013 emblazoned with the word \u201cmiracle\u201d\u2013 hid the extent of his facial scars, while his appearance on the red carpet this week left little doubt as to just how serious his accident was. And nobody has been more shocked by the images than Pax\u2019s father.<\/p>\n

Pax wore sunglasses to cover his injuries, but scars were visible on his forehead<\/p>\n

According to insiders, Brad has respected Pax\u2019s wishes and kept his distance in the wake of the collision, relying instead on friends and family to keep him updated. But seeing pictures of his son\u2019s injuries this week really hit home for the movie star and, according to insiders, it\u2019s left him worrying about his welfare, especially since it\u2019s since been revealed that Pax wasn\u2019t wearing a helmet at the time. So, Brad is making tentative steps to reach out and offer his support in any way he can; and \u2013 happily for all \u2013 it seems that Pax\u2019s health and safety is one thing that Brad and Angelia can actually agree upon. It\u2019s not going to herald a peace deal between the pair anytime soon, but it might just lessen the bitterness between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBrad is very relieved to hear that Pax is on track with his recovery, but it was still pretty shocking for him to see those photos of him on the red carpet,\u201d says an insider close to the actor, who has been making his own very public appearances in recent weeks with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. \u201cIt reinforced just how horrific this accident was, how lucky Pax is to be alive, and how it was just a few inches away from being something even more serious. Obviously, the scars Pax showed were just a glimmer of the overall injuries he suffered, and Brad\u2019s very conscious that it will be a long road to recovery moving forwards with physiotherapy and regular check-ups. He\u2019s very pleased that Pax is on the mend, but he\u2019s still anxious and praying he doesn\u2019t suffer any more setbacks. He\u2019s also praying that he\u2019s learned from this nightmare and that, if he rides a bike again, he\u2019ll wear a helmet at all times.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brad has kept his distance from his estranged son and his been spotted out and about with girlfriend Ines<\/p>\n

Pax had reportedly been driving down Los Feliz Boulevard in LA during afternoon rush hour on the 29 July when he crashed his e-bike into the back of a car, which had stopped at a red light. He was quickly rushed to an intensive care unit after he apparently complained of head pain, and \u2013 according to insiders \u2013 has since been told he faces a long road to recovery. What\u2019s made the incident all the more worrying for Pax\u2019s friends and family \u2013 not least Angelina, who\u2019s been with her son constantly ever since, alongside his five siblings \u2013 is that he\u2019s reportedly been involved in other road accidents in the past. In fact, one source recently said friends are \u201cworried\u201d that he\u2019s being \u201creckless\u201d. Pax has made it clear in the past that he wants little to do with Brad, but that hasn\u2019t stopped the latter from making efforts to stay updated on his son\u2019s condition, and making it clear that he\u2019s just as worried as the rest of Pax\u2019s inner circle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s terrifying for Brad to think of what might have happened,\u201d says our source. \u201cHe\u2019s devastated that Pax suffered a head injury, and it\u2019s tough not to worry about the rehabilitation and what the road to recovery will really mean in the long-term. He\u2019s also struggling not to be angry that Pax put himself in such a dangerous situation. But the main focus for everyone right now is just trying to look beyond all that and focus on the fact that Pax is out of hospital and healing every day. Angelina appreciates Brad\u2019s concern and is making sure he does get updates, albeit not directly from her.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s been a long time since Brad has been seen with his kids. Pictured here with Pax, Shiloh and Maddox<\/p>\n

Though legally divorced, Brad, 60, and Angelina, 49, are still at loggerheads over the sale of their Miraval estate in France, with recent court documents proving they\u2019re still as angry and bitter towards each other as ever. But it\u2019s Brad\u2019s fractured relationship with the majority of his kids that seems to be the most upsetting part of the puzzle. Although he\u2019s said to still have a relationship with twins Vivienne and Knox, who \u2013 at 16 \u2013 are now the only two who qualify for custody arrangements, he\u2019s reportedly not on speaking terms with Maddox, 23, Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18, who recently legally removed Pitt from her surname. Still, it\u2019s Pax that he\u2019s most famously estranged from, after an Instagram post that Pax originally shared in 2020 resurfaced last year, labelling Brad a \u201cworld class a**hole\u201d. It\u2019s this very public animosity towards Brad that has made the latter\u2019s concern for Pax\u2019s safety in the wake of his accident all the more difficult to navigate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, if anything can heal emotional wounds, it\u2019s the shock of almost losing someone for good \u2013 and Closer is told that Brad and Angelina know this all too. Our source reveals, \u201cThe accident seems to have stopped the blame game, and \u2013 while Brad is respecting Pax\u2019s boundaries \u2013 he\u2019s made it clear he\u2019ll pay anything towards his medical bills and would love to send gifts or see him in person. Angelina appreciates his concern and seems more open to communicating. It\u2019s just so sad that the one trace of hope for peace between these two has come as a result of something so tragic.\u201d<\/p>\n
