Brad Pitt - I Spent The '90s Hiding

The Hollywood favourite opens up about his struggles after he suddendly became a megastar

He’s been thrust back into the spotlight this year with stellar roles in the critically acclaimed films Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood and Ad Astra, but Brad Pitt admitted last week for the first time that at the height of his fame, he couldn’t cope with all the attention and pressure and became dependent on drugs and alcohol.

“I’ve seen pictures of myself from years ago and gone, ‘That kid looks all right’. But I didn’t feel that way inside,” Pitt told The New York Times last week.

“I spent most of the ’90s hiding out and smoking pot. I was too uncomfortable with all the attention.”
