Brad Pitt Opens Up About Suicidal Ideation

Pitt said he now drinks in moderation after years of abstinence, prompting recovery experts to note that relapse outcomes vary, the World Health Organization said.

  • In a recent Esquire interview, actor Brad Pitt admitted to ending seven years of sobriety, explaining he now drinks alcohol "in a more restrained manner" while revealing he avoids pornography because "bad acting drives me crazy."
  • Following his 2016 divorce from Angelina Jolie, Pitt previously maintained sobriety through 12-step meetings, though he now describes his current personal challenges as "family stuff."
  • Sources close to Jennifer Aniston say she supports Pitt's right to move forward, while Jolie reportedly remains skeptical of his claims that he has "fundamentally changed," and experts debate the viability of moderate drinking.
  • The actor's 18-year-old son, Knox Jolie, recently debuted a new dark red hairstyle in Los Angeles, drawing attention amid reports that four of Pitt's children have dropped his surname.
  • Professionally, the actor's upcoming projects include the survival drama Heart of the Beast and the Quentin Tarantino-penned The Adventures of Cliff Booth, both of which Pitt is producing.
