In the interview, Brad Pitt describes how joy has been a recent discovery in a life marked by years of depression.

– I always moved with the currents, drifted in one way, and over to the next. I think I spent years with low-grade depression, and it was not until I reconciled with it, and tried to embrace all aspects of myself – the beauty and the ugly – that I was able to capture these moments of joy.

The 58-year-old Hollywood star says he has also felt lonely.

– I have always felt very alone in life. Alone growing up as a child, alone even out here (in Los Angeles), and it really is not until recently that I have had a greater embrace of my friends and family.

World famous couple

In 2016, Pitt went through a breakup in marriage to actress Angelina Jolie. The couple was married for two years, and together for twelve.

They met on the set of the action thriller Mr. and Mrs. Smith, when Pitt was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston.

After the meeting, Pitt and Aniston abruptly divorced after five years of marriage. The following year, in 2006, Jolie confirmed that she was pregnant. Together, Jolie and Pitt have six children.

The break-up between them is said to have taken place in the wake of a heated quarrel between Pitt and his adopted son Maddox on board a private plane.

Cut the alcohol

After the breakup, Pitt became sober and spent 18 months in Alcoholics Anonymous, he shares in the GQ interview:

– I had a very cool group of men here, who were very private and selective, so it was safe, he says, while he describes how he has experienced watching recordings of other people in the same situation, while they opened up.

– It’s just cruel to me, he adds.

Recently, Pitt has also given up the cigarettes, which have been replaced with nicotine chewing gum, he reveals to GQ.

– On the last stage

With his new self-discoveries, Pitt wants a meaningful next chapter in life. It is speculated that he is hinting that his acting career is coming to an end.

His career started when Pitt was 22 years old. Since then, he has starred in several iconic films such as “Fight Club”, “Moneyball”, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and the “Ocean’s Eleven” series.

– I consider myself on the last stage, he says to GQ, and points out that he thinks hard about how he should spend his time.

– This last semester or trimester. How will this part be? And how will I design it?
