Brad Pitt Admits Losing Cool After Talking About Angelina Jolie Divorce, Regrets

Brad Pitt has admitted that he also loses his cool sometimes.

The “Ad Astra” star spoke with his former “Legends of the Fall” co-star Anthony Hopkins for Interview magazine. The latter said he’s “as easy going as ever.” However, Pitt revealed that he also loses his cool at times.

“Pretty much, it’s my gliding speed. But I lose it at times. I get sucked into something, and I can lose it. I take my hands off the wheel. … I’m human,” Pitt said.

In the same interview, Pitt shared his realizations after all the tough times he experienced. He endured two broken marriages. He also had an alleged altercation with his son, Maddox and had “heated, screaming fights” with Angelina Jolie when they were still together.

“I’m realizing, as a real act of forgiveness for myself for all the choices that I’ve made that I’m not proud of, that I value those missteps, because they led to some wisdom, which led to something else. You can’t have one without the other. I see it as something I’m just now getting my arms around at this time in my life. But I certainly don’t feel like I can take credit for any of it,” Pitt added.

A few months back, Pitt also opened up about his separation from Jolie on NPR’s Weekend Edition. When asked what drew him to his character in “Ad Astra,” Pitt shared that it was the universal feeling of pain, loneliness and regrets. According to him, he learned from a friend who worked in a hospice that the only thing people talk about is their loves and their regrets in love and dealings with love.

He was also asked if his divorce influenced his performance in the movie. Pitt said that he was willing to explore it whether there was a script or not.

“ A breakup of a family is certainly an eye-opener that as one — and I’m speaking in general again — but as one needs to understand, I had to understand my own culpability in that, and what can I do better. Because I don't want to go on like this,” he said.
