Brad Pitt speaks for the first time since Angelina Jolie split


Brad Pitt has compared his split from Angelina Jolie to 'a death' and admits his heavy drinking became a problem in his marriage.

Jolie stunned the world in August 2016 when she filed for divorce following an alleged altercation on a private jet between the actor and their 15-year-old son, Maddox.

Now in his first interview about the shock separation, he admits that he blames himself for the marriage crumbling, conceding: 'I hit the lottery and I still would waste my time on those hollow pursuits.'
He told GQ Style magazine: -
-
- (The split was) self-inficted... If you love someone, set them free.
Now I know what it means, by feeling it.
'It means to love without ownership. It means expecting nothing in return. It doesn't mean f*** all to me until, you know. Until you live it.' When asked if the last few months had felt like he was grieving a death, he curtly replied: 'Yeah.' -

The Fight Club star - who noticeably looks much trimmer in the three cover shots - reveals he has cut out alcohol from his life, admitting it had become a 'problem' during his life with Angelina. 'I mean, we have a winery. I enjoy wine very, very much, but I just ran it to the ground. I had to step away for a minute,' he continued.

- 'And truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good,' before conceding that he didn't 'want to live that way anymore. 'But me, personally, I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing or had a spliff, or something.
-
-
- 'I mean I stopped everything except boozing when I started my family. But even this last year, you know —things I wasn’t dealing with. I was boozing too much. It’s just become a problem.'
