London: Jon Voight has spent nearly a decade bitterly and publicly estranged from his daughter AngelinaJolie, but now the Hollywood veteran says they have reconciled after he was struck by an emotional epiphany.
The 72-year-old actor fell out with Jolie in 2002 when he accused her of having serious mental problems, while Jolie, 37, had criticised him for having an affair behind her mother's back.
Now Voight says the feud is over and he feels very close to his grandchildren, three biological and three adopted, reported Daily Mail online.
"I suddenly saw things differently and everything shifted. That one moment changed my whole life. It gave me back my daughter and my family. Being reunited with my Angie is very precious to me," he said.
Both of them had been very private about the feud. News of their reconciliation broke last year when they were photographed together. Father and daughter had their first tentative meeting in Venice last year after Pitt, acted as a go-between.
Voight says that Jolie's family with actor Brad Pitt and their six children is one of his greatest joys.
"I adore my grandchildren, they are my great love. It makes me so emotional and grateful. I'm always laughing and completely happy when I'm with them. It makes Angie so happy too, as you can imagine," he added.
