Brad Speaks

BRAD PITT has had a rough few months. Not only did his marriage to Angelina Jolie crumble, but he also had to fight for custody of his children and adjust to life as a single 53-year old man. Life as he knew it is over and now, for the first time, the actor speaks about one of his most turbulent times.

In an emotional tell-all interview, Brad shared details of his life the world has been dying to know in the most sincere way. Brad starts by admitting that the days after his divorce were the hardest and reveals that he was too sad to be alone at his Hollywood Hills home, so he slept on a friend’s floor. “I crashed over here a little bit, my friend [director David] Fincher lives right here. He’s always going to have an open door for me, and I was doing a lot of stuff on the Westside, so I stayed at my friend’s house on the floor for a month and a half — until I was out there one morning, 05h30, and this surveillance van pulls up,” he reveals. Starting to feel a little paranoid after this, he knew it was time to go back home. That’s when reality really hit. Instead of having six children running around, it was empty.

“This house was always chaotic and crazy, voices and bangs coming from everywhere,” he says. “And then, as you see, there are days like this: very, very solemn.”
