Mystery injury to Jolie tot

THE adopted baby son of Hollywood star Angelina Jolie was rushed to a British hospital this week after a mystery injury.

Maddox, a Cambodian orphan, was hurt while on a film set with his mother in Snowdonia, North Wales. The 13-month-old had to undergo a 90-mile journey by ambulance to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, where he was treated over two days.

Doctors refused to talk about the injuries, but a spokesman said the baby had been discharged and was doing "very well".

Angelina, 27, who is in Wales filming the sequel to her Tomb Raider hit, was said to be distraught over the injuries to her son, adopted when she visited a Cambodian orphanage with her now- estranged husband, actor Billy Bob Thornton.

Last week it was revealed that she is also estranged from her father, veteran actor Jon Voight, after he claimed she was suffering "serious mental problems".
