Voight, 80, praised Jolie at the premiere, telling PEOPLE his daughter was “very strong.”
“She has a certain persona that is hers alone, and she sits in it very comfortably,” he said. Voight also expressed his pride in Jolie for her humanitarian work as a special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

“She does a lot of good around the world with the refugees. Her heart is always on display when she’s with those suffering people,” Voight said. “She’s tremendously compassionate, and she’s a fighter for those people, she’s a defender of those people. She’s terrific.”
In July, Jolie revealed her children loved seeing her portray “strong” character on screen.
“What’s really moving to me is that they want to see me strong, so it’s less to see me in a film, but they’re just happy I will be strong and having fun,” Jolie told PEOPLE after news broke that she will be starring inMarvel’s upcoming filmThe Eternals.
