Voight opened up about his daughter Jolie’s decision to go public with her double mastectomy in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “She’s a very brave person and I love her deeply. I’m always going to be at her side,” Voight commented. “She handles herself very well. She says what she wants to say now.”–DS
