The actor opened up about his recovery in a recent New York Times profile.
The notoriously private Brad Pitt is, well, still notoriously private, but he let a sliver of his guard down in a recent New York Times profile.
Pitt, who signed on to his upcoming film Ad Astra in the months following his and Angelina Jolie’s bombshell divorce filing in September 2016, said little when it came to discussing that pivotal time in his life, allowing only, “I had family stuff going on.” But when pressed to reveal whether the space-set flick helped him through his own loneliness, he said, “The fact is, we all carry pain, grief and loss. We spend most of our time hiding it, but it’s there, it’s in you.
Following the initial split, Pitt gave up alcohol. “I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges,” he explained. He spent the next year-and-a-half in Alcoholics Anonymous. “You had all these men sitting around being open and honest in a way I have never heard,” he said of the program. “It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself. It was actually really freeing just to expose the ugly sides of yourself.
