Brad Pitt, in a recent interview with Esquire, shared his personal struggles with sobriety and grief. After seven years of being sober, Pitt admitted to drinking again, approaching it in a more restrained manner than before.
Reflections on Life and Struggles
Pitt reflected on the darker chapters of his life, including his divorce from Angelina Jolie and the pain that followed. He described a period where the pain became nearly unbearable, but emphasized that he was never suicidal, attributing his resilience to being a ‘congenital optimist.’ Pitt also talked about the lasting impact of grief, describing it as leaving a ‘gaping hole’ but also ‘profound beauty.’
Pitt’s candid admission came as he looked back on the previous decade, expressing a sense of urgency and a desire to make the most of his time. He encouraged others to do the same, especially in their fifties, saying, ‘Go attack it. Go attack it now.’
