Brad Pitt is owning up to his mistakes that he says ripped his family apart.
The 53-year-old actor opened up to GQ about the last six months after splitting from wife Angelina Jolie, battling over visitation with his six children and dealing with a drinking problem.
“For me this period has been about looking at my weakness and failures and owning my side of the street,” he told the magazine.
Pitt’s life started to unravel in Sept. 2016 after someone called authorities about an alleged altercation between him and his eldest son Maddox, 15, while on an airplane that led to an FBI investigation. No charges were made, but the very public scrutiny left him feeling “chained.” Jolie filed for divorce days later.
“I was boozing too much,” he told GQ. “It’s just become a problem. And I’m really happy it’s been half a year now, which is bittersweet,” said the father of six, who revealed he is now sober.
