Brad Pitt talks about causes of divorce

Actor Brad Pitt told GQ Style in an extensive interview published May 3 that his drinking and drug use were major factors in Angelina Jolie divorcing him. Pitt said he had cut himself off emotionally throughout his entire life. Apparently the drinking and drugs were to compensate.

He has stopped drinking and entered therapy to address his issues.

To most Americans, Pitt and Jolie were the perfect couple: amazingly beautiful, tremendously talented, ridiculously wealthy, and awesomely big-hearted.

The couple got together in 2005, but didn’t marry until 2014.

They have six children, three adopted.

Jolie had an adopted son when they met. The couple adopted two children out of poverty, one from Africa and one from Vietnam.

After some initial squabbling, the couple has agreed to use a private judge and settle the custody issues amicably.

Pitt has a movie coming out in May.
