Brad Pitt made a surprising disclosure after his divorce from Angelina Jolie. The actor revealed his addiction to alcohol started because he wanted to escape from certain feelings.

 

The Troy actor had previously confessed in an interview that he got addicted to alcohol as he wished to run away from certain emotions. The actor recalled there was not a single day when he did not booze or spliff after he came out of college. He was speaking to GQ when he opened up about his addiction problem.

 

Pitt further said these addictions acted as pacifiers and he took them to run away from his feelings. However, the actor said he is happy to have come out of the addiction. 

 

The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star also spoke to the New York Times. He confessed that he was trying his best to participate in AA meetings after his divorce from Angelina Jolie.  

 

It was around the same time when Brad Pitt could get out of his addiction to alcohol and has not been affected by liquor ever since. Some reports in the past suggested that the Fight Club actor got into a squabble with Maddox, his eldest son when he was under the influence of alcohol. 

 

The incident reportedly motivated the Salt actress to file a divorce from the Thelma & Louise star. Reports have it that Jolie had requested for the reevaluation of the child custody order to ensure that her former husband is equipped to take care of their six children. 

 

Meanwhile, Pitt has been linked to several gorgeous women after his split from Jolie including his former wife Jennifer Aniston and actress Alia Shawkat. It was reported that the actor’s grandmother had hoped that Jen and her grandson would reunite, which never happened, unfortunately. 

 

In other news, Jolie and her six children she shares with Pitt are reportedly spending plenty of time together amid the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown. Also, the children did not have much of a trouble to adapt themselves to the changing situation after the classes were canceled because they have the habit of staying at home.

 

They are busy with their school assignments and are also engaged with learning different languages, playing board games, instruments, and assisting in cooking dinner.

 

While all the six children are at home with Angelina Jolie, they are also in touch with Brad Pitt and go over to his place for regular visits. A source said that the children are enjoying their family time and love watching films together.
