Brad Pitt Candidly Opens Up About Divorce, Quitting Alcohol & Love For Frank Ocean

FUSE TV - Brad Pitt Candidly Opens Up About Divorce, Quitting Alcohol & Love For Frank Ocean

Brad Pitt is the new cover star for GQ Style's summer issue, and he's getting candid about recent life changes that flipped his world upside down—in most part for the better. The actor opens up about split from Angelia Jolie, who filed for divorce last September after two years of marriage.

Jolie reportedly requested joint legal custody of the couple's six children. Pitt touches on how the visitation rights and domestic abuse allegations affected them:

"I was really on my back and chained to a system when Child Services was called. And you know, after that, we've been able to work together to sort this out. We're both doing our best. I heard one lawyer say, 'No one wins in court—it's just a matter of who gets hurt worse.' And it seems to be true, you spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point and why you're right and why they're wrong, and it's just an investment in vitriolic hatred. I just refuse. And fortunately my partner in this agrees. It's just very, very jarring for the kids, to suddenly have their family ripped apart."

The actor is currently trying to better himself, which means facing his drinking issues. "And truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good." He continues, "I was boozing too much. It's just become a problem. And I'm really happy it's been half a year now, which is bittersweet, but I've got my feelings in my fingertips again.
