Jon Voight: "Being A Grandfather Is Wonderful"

Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, father of Angelina Jolie, has played many different roles but his favorite is grandpa.

Every stage of your life has delight, thank god, and also dramas," Voight told Us. "But, oh my gosh, being a grandfather is the most wonderful thing!"

Following a seven-year rift, Jon and Angelina reconciled earlier this year. Angie cut off communication with her father in 2001 after he publicly stated that she suffered "serious mental problems."

In late February, Jon joined Angelina, her love Brad Pitt and their six kids - Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 3 1/2, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 22 months - in Venice, Italy. The group were seen going for a boat trip down the city's Grand Canal. Soon after the excursion, Jon said it was "a very beautiful trip...It's nice to have something that's positive."

Grandpa Jon added Monday, "I hope to see [the kids] soon."

I remember when he thought Zahara's name was "Shakira".

Would think he learned his lesson not to speak to the press about her at all.

To be fair, he speaks in vague terms and always in a positive way as compared to calling her basically unhinged back when she adopted Maddox. I'm glad they've made up though. I feel the same about Tori and Candy Spelling. If a family can mend, it's best to try and let go of old grudges.

I agree, it's good for a family to heal; not just for the adults but also for the children.
