Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter doesn't want to be a "nepo baby".
In fact, the just-turned 18-year-old is doing everything in her power to move away from her parents' powerful surnames, according to her choreographer. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is making waves in the dancing scene, and she doesn't want any help from Hollywood.
Known as Shi to her pals, the teen has lived every step of her childhood in the spotlight thanks to her star-studded guardians. Now, she's quickly made a name for herself with her own skills after a video of her dancing went viral all over social media back in 2021.

"Shiloh is an exceptionally talented dancer, demonstrating dedication and hard work," dancer Keelan Carter told MailOnline.

"She is a sincere and straightforward person who never uses her celebrity status to her advantage. Shi does not rely on her famous name to achieve her goals." Carter admits he didn't even know who Shi's mum and dad were, "I don't think this matters."
"I understand that it can be difficult to see the person beyond her celebrity status, but I urge you to make an effort for her. Believe me, it is worth it," he added. With dozens of students, Keelan says Shi is just the same as everyone else, famous parents aside.

She's paving her own way in the showbiz industry (lilkcarter /Instagram)Taking to his own Instagram account on Wednesday, he shared a clip featuring Shiloh and three others, writing: "Can't wait to be back in the studio with these talented people. In the last period of my life, LA feels like home and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet so many hardworking and wonderful people.
"I'm glad every time to have you next to me in the studio, so thank you guys," he added. Keelan often posts clips featuring Shiloh after their viral success previously, but tells the outlet that he doesn't often tag her in the uploads out of respect for her privacy.
The former couple share six children together who have been living with Angelina in Los Angeles following her bitter split from Brad. Angelina has primary physical custody of the kids, while Brad was given visitation rights during their lengthy divorce battle.
