Brad Pitt had earlier made a confession after getting divorced from Angelina Jolie, which shocked quite a few of his fans.
In an interview given to GQ at his Los Angeles home, the actor shared that he got addicted to alcohol to escape from certain feelings. The “Ad Astra” star also mentioned that he cannot remember a single day after graduating from college when he did not booze nor had a spliff. However, the actor did say that he is happy to have come out of that phase in his life.
The interview was conducted at his LA pad, though the actor also has homes in New York City and New Orleans and a château in France. However, this has been the childhood home for his kids and seems to hold a special place in Pitt’s heart.
While his kids are not living here now, he felt it was important for him to stay there. Today, his bulldog Jacques is the only companion in his Los Angeles home.
In another interview given to the New York Times, Brad Pitt had mentioned that after his split from Angelina Jolie, it took a lot of effort on his part to participate in AA meetings. Around the same time, the “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” actor could come out of his booze addiction. Pitt has succeeded in remaining sober ever since.
Pitt revealed in the same interview that he was brought up with the “be-capable, be-strong, don’t-show-weakness thing.” The actor grew up in Springfield and had two other siblings. His father owned a trucking company.
Now that the actor has crossed 50, he feels that in some ways he is copying his father in all his performances. The actor was full of praises for his father and said that while his father had to face poverty and immense hardship, he always wanted to give his son a better life.
Some past reports shared that the actor got into a squabble with Maddox, his eldest son, while he was intoxicated. The incident triggered Angelina Jolie to file a divorce petition against him.
It has been also reported that Jolie has requested a child custody reassessment. This was to ensure that Pitt is in a condition to take care of their kids.
In other news, Pitt also grabbed headlines after a few reports claim that he had almost reunited with his former wife Jennifer Aniston though he had an affair with Jolie. In an interview given to Mirror, Betty Russell, the actor’s grandmother had made an interesting observation. She said that there is a possibility of the former couple getting back together.
This is because the lady felt that Pitt’s relationship with Jolie was not meant to last. However, Russell’s wishes did not come true as Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston did not get back together.
