Brad Pitt reveals for the first time the reason for his breakup with Angelina

In a recent interview, Brad Pitt admitted that his relationship with Angelina Jolie broke down due to his addiction to alcohol and cigarettes.

This is the first time Brad Pitt has spoken openly about his divorce from Angelina Jolie. In an interview with GQ Style, the 53-year-old actor admitted that his addiction to alcohol and cigarettes was the reason for the breakup of his family.

For a long time, alcohol and cigarettes had worn down all his emotions and separated him from his family members. After Angelina and the children left, Brad Pitt came to his senses and began to quit drinking and receive psychological treatment.

“I just started treatment. It took two therapists to find the right person to stop me from drinking. I love wine, my tolerance can beat a Russian with vodka. I am a professional. I drink very well,” the actor shared.

When he was a student, Brad Pitt used to drink and smoke a lot, but since living with Angelina, he has given them up. But then the pressure of life and work made Brad Pitt return to his old habits and they became worse.

“The separation from Angelina and the children was a big change. Now I drink fruit juice and mineral water instead of wine. I keep my hands busy with wood, mud, clay and plaster in the workshop to forget the cravings for alcohol and cigarettes.”

Brad's efforts to move in a positive direction were supported by Angelina. Even though they were divorced, Angie always encouraged and helped Brad to resolve the problem in a friendly and private manner.

Talking about his work, the actor said: “I don’t think too much about being an actor anymore. It’s just a small part of my life, I don’t focus much on my career. It doesn’t help me in my role as a father.”

Previously, in September 2016, Angelina Jolie suddenly filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, shocking the entire entertainment industry. Brad-Angie used to be one of Hollywood's most typical happy couples.

They married in 2014 and have 6 children (both adopted and biological). However, that was also the time when Brad Pitt changed. The actor was even investigated for anger management and child abuse. The case was later resolved privately./.
