The 55-year-old opens up in a new interview about his year-and-a-half of attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings following his very public divorce from Angelina Jolie.
In early 2017, when he committed to starring in the James Gray-directed dramatic fantasy, "Ad Astra," Pitt was still dealing with the logistics and emotions of his recent split from the mother of his children.
"The fact is, we all carry pain, grief and loss," he later noted when asked if "Ad Astra" served as a way for him to work through some of the loneliness he may have been experiencing. "We spend most of our time hiding it, but it's there, it's in you. So you open up those boxes." "Now, I didn't get personal with him about it at all -- I don't think it's my business, or even my job -- but he investigated the essence of the character through himself," he said.While Pitt made no mention of the instance, it was reported that the final straw in his 11-year relationship with Jolie came in September 2016, when they are believed to have fought about his drinking habits while aboard a private plane. Now, he's committed to sobriety.
"You had all these men sitting around being open and honest in a way I have never heard," the actor said. "It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself."
