'I've always been lonely'; Brad Pitt opens up about his life after separation from Angelina Jolie

Hollywood star Brad Pitt in a new GQ profile revealed that he has been fighting a 'low-grade depression' after separation from his wife Angelina Jolie.

"I was always moving with the currents, drifting in one way, and onto the next. I think I spent years with low-grade depression, and it's not until coming to terms with that, trying to embrace all sides of self — the beauty and the ugly — that I've been able to catch those moments of joy," said the actor.

After the separation, the actor spent a year and a half in Alcoholics Anonymous, a private and selective group.

He was married to Angelina Jolie from 2014 to 2016 and got separated in 2019. Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne are their six children. However, Jolie's attorney had claimed that Pitt was not giving meaningful child support after the split.

According to reports, the actor was feeling very lonely in his life. He has recently been finding solace in art. The actor also revealed that he cut smoking and alcoholism during the pandemic.

"I had a really cool men's group here that was really private and selective, so it was safe," he said, adding, "Because I'd seen things of other people, like Philip Seymour Hoffman, who had been recorded while they were spilling their guts, and that's just atrocious to me." Apart from alcohol, the actor also cut cigarettes out of his life completely during the pandemic. "I don't have that ability to do just one or two a day. It's not in my makeup. I'm all in. And I'm going to drive into the ground. I've lost my privileges."

His upcoming comedy-action movie 'Bullet train' is set to release in the month of August.
