Brad Pitt's son Knox showed off a bold new look in LA on Monday – just hours after the actor revealed he battled suicidal thoughts as a result of his estrangement from his children.
Knox, 18, who dropped Pitt's last name in June, sported a bold red hairdo worn in spikes, with shaved sides dyed bleach blond.
The nepo baby was seen jogging with pals after his latest Muay Thai training session, hours after Pitt made the bombshell revelation in an intimate interview with Esquire.
Knox, his twin Vivienne and older sister Shiloh, 19, were welcomed during mom Angelina Jolie's relationship with Pitt which ended in divorce in 2016.
Jolie and Pitt were together for about a decade before they married in 2014 but filed for divorce two years later in 2016.
Jolie cited irreconcilable differences and later accused Pitt of abusing both her and their children, which he has denied.

Their lengthy, contentious divorce battle was finalized in late 2024, and since then, many of their kids have dropped Pitt's surname amid their ongoing estrangement.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Jolie for comment.
In June Knox removed the last name of Pitt from his high school diploma as he graduated from Fusion Academy in Los Angeles earlier this month, per Page Six.
Instead, the teen's name was simply listed as Knox Jolie on the official certificate.
Knox was cheered on by his mother at the graduation ceremony as well as brother Pax, twin sister Vivienne and sister Zahara.
Pitt, 62, addressed the topic in a rare interview, explaining that while he would never act on his suicidal feelings, the 'oppressive' pain left him feeling like he had no way out.
