Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has revealed that he is in therapy following his split from Angelina Jolie. Pitt was speaking to GQ when he opened up about his life for the first time since his relationship with Jolie came to an end last year. ‘I just started therapy,’ Pitt said. He added, ‘I love it. I love it. I went through two therapists to get to the right one.’
He also spoke about his problems with drugs and alcohol, admitting that he had a problem that he tried to rectify with self-medication. He claimed that he was using cannabis and alcohol as a way of dealing with his emotional state. ‘I’m personally very retarded when it comes to taking inventory of my emotions. I’m much better at covering up.’ The couple announced that they were getting divorced in September last year after an incident occurred on their private jet. At one point he was being investigated for child abuse but has since been cleared of all charges.
Speaking about his drug and alcohol use, Pitt said that he was using daily since graduating college. ‘I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing or had a spliff or something.’ However, Pitt said that he has now stopped smoking and drinking and instead prefers a glass of cranberry juice. He added that he doesn’t really feel like much of an actor anymore because it takes up so little of his time. ‘I don’t really think of myself much as an actor anymore. It takes up so little of my year and my focus.’
