Once upon a time in Hollywood … Brad Pitt attended his first session at Anonymous Alcoholics (AA).

The 61 -year -old actor described the “stunning” experience in the Armchair Expert show on Monday.

He remembered that he almost “caught the bottom” and felt the need to “wake up” in some areas of his life.

“I did everything, what everyone suggested to me … It was a difficult time. I needed a reboot, “he said.

Although he did not reveal exactly when he attended the sessions, he had previously revealed in the New York Times that he did it for a year and a half after divorcing Angelina Jolie in 2016.

The presenter Dax Shepard praised him for his “incredible sincerity”.

Pitt revealed that at first he felt uncomfortable when it was his turn to speak, but was inspired by seeing others open without fear.

“It gave me the comfort of daring and see what happens. And finally I really loved it. “

This experience was unique to him, especially because he grew up in Ozark, where men used to hide their problems behind a “all right” … attitude.

Pete confessed that this process helped him accept and show his “ugly sides”, which he found liberation.

After reaching the limits, he decided to get alcohol out of his life.

The problem with alcohol had also played a role at the end of his wedding with Jolie, who ended after an airplane episode in 2016.

The two have six children, with most being alienated from Pete.

Indicatively it maintains limited contact with Knox and Vivienne twins.

Brad Pitt has now moved on to Ines De Ramon, leaving behind a difficult but necessary personal renewal.
