Brad Pitt Opens Up About Drinking Again
Brad Pitt says that he is “back off the wagon” after seven years of sobriety.
Following his high-profile divorce from actress Angelina Jolie in 2016, Pitt sought professional help for his alcoholism.
However, in a recent interview with a top American media outlet, the 62-year-old actor revealed that he was no longer sober.
“I was sober for seven years,” he explained. “And then I got back off the wagon.”
Fortunately, said Pitt, he drinks alcohol “in a more restrained manner”, thanks to practising moderation.
“I got overconfident a couple times, went, ‘Yep, nope, not good for me. Not in big quantities,’” he shared. “I can have a few [glasses of wine], but I can’t have a lot. I have to be professional about it.”
The Fight Club star has been candid about his sobriety journey over the years, including a stint in Alcoholics Anonymous following his split from Jolie, with whom he shares six children.
“It was just incredible. Men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches and a lot of humour with it,” he told actor Dax Shepard in a 2025 podcast interview.
Meanwhile, Pitt has since moved on with jewellery designer Ines De Ramon. However, his relationships with his children reportedly remain strained.
