Jennifer and Brad |
Things that make you go hmm...
In a new, revealing Esquire magazine interview, Brad Pitt admits that his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was full of "drug damage."
The 49-year-old actor, who has been with partner Angelina Jolie since 2005, told the mag he was "wasting his life" while married to the beloved "Friends" actress.
"For a long time I thought I did too much damage — drug damage," Pitt, 49, said. "I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years f--king off.
But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity," he added. "It was a conscious change."
"This was about a decade ago," he said, about the decision to change his life. "It was an epiphany."
Pitt and Jolie, 37, started their romance in 2005 after meeting on set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," while he was in the middle of divorcing Aniston, 44. The two had been together for seven years.
The "World War Z" star says life with Jolie and their brood of six kids is exactly what he wanted.
"I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big," he said.
I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven't known life to be any happier. I'm making things. I just haven't known life to be any happier."
