Brad Pitt has recently made rare comments about his difficult time months after settling his divorce from ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
The Fight Club star made a guest appearance on the popular comedy podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard on Monday, June 24th to promote his upcoming film, F1.
During the interview, Pitt shared his first-ever experience of going to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting after his high-profile divorce from his former life partner, Jolie.
The 61-year-old American actor and film producer further claimed that he was "pretty much on [his] knees" while recalling his sobriety journey.
"I was trying anything and everything, anything anyone threw at me. It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting," the Academy-winning artist added.
At one point, he also admitted to consuming alcohol, saying, "It gives you permission to go, ‘OK, I’m gonna step out on this edge and see what happens.’ And then I grew to love it."
