Brad Pitt opens up about how he got sober after his split from Angelina Jolie.
"I can't remember a day since I got out of college where I wasn't boozing or had a spliff, or something. Truthfully, I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good," Pitt said at the time, at which he had been six months sober."You realize that a lot of it is, um- cigarettes, you know, pacifiers. And I'm running from feelings. I'm really, really happy to be done with all of that.
"But even this last year, you know -- things I wasn't dealing with. I was boozing too much," Pitt continued, referencing his divorce from Jolie after two years of marriage. "It's just become a problem. And I'm really happy it's been half a year now, which is bittersweet."While playing Roy McBride, both Pitt and the film's director, James Gray, noted that Pitt infused his own personal struggles at the time into the character..
"He definitely used the stimuli from his life," Gray agrees."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." As for Pitt and Jolie's relationship now, the two are focused on parenting their six children, Maddox, 18, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shilo, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Back in May,
