Brad Pitt on Sobriety, AI, and Grief | Ottawa News
Description
Brad Pitt opens up about his seven-year sobriety journey, admitting he relapsed but now enjoys wine in moderation—calling it a “restrained approach.” He candidly discusses past emotional turmoil, emphasizing he never acted on suicidal thoughts, crediting survival instincts and grief as profound forces that shaped him. Reflecting on his recent divorce from Angelina Jolie after 12 years together, he touches on the legal battle sparked by abuse allegations on a private jet—though no charges were filed. He also weighs in on AI’s potential in filmmaking, seeing it as a tool for mid-budget films and emotional storytelling, while remaining wary of losing creative control. Adding a quirky note, Pitt reveals his paranoid streak around body scans used in stunts—he owns them but insists they be destroyed, calling himself a “paranoid Ozark boy.”
