Jon Voight doesn't know Zahara's name


Jon Voight may have further damaged his relationship with estranged daughter Angelina Jolie by calling her new daughter Zahara by the wrong name. Voight was caught on camera wishing his grandson Maddox a happy birthday at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Tea Party last weekend when he made the gaff. "Maddox just had a birthday. Happy birthday, Maddox! Five years old - it's a big one! You're going to be a young man, and I send my love out to you. And send my love to...uh...Shakira...and Shahira... Is it Shakira or Shahira?" Voight asked a reporter. When the reporter told Voight the correct name was Zahara, he added, "Shahara! Shahara!"

He's an old white man. Give him a break. He' never seen the child, has never been "introduced", so I'm not surprised that he doesn't know her name.

Come on, I'm African American and Zahara and Shikira (or whatEVER) are both unusual names. It's an honest mistake.
