Actress Angelina Jolie has been suspected of a new romance with an actor who is younger than her son. Jason Schmidt is only 21 years old. Insider sources for the Daily Mail have reported that the two have developed a “strong connection.”

According to the sources, it’s still too early to say that Jolie has fallen in love, but they note that she has grown quite close to the budding artist. Currently, Angelina is doing everything she can to help make Schmidt famous. She has given him a role in a play and facilitated opportunities for him with directors in their projects.

“She appreciates how talented and passionate he is about the arts,” noted the insider.
