Why Brad Pitt quit smoking and drinking altogether during the pandemic: ‘I don’t have that ability to do just one or two a day’

It’s Brad Pitt’s world and we’re all just living in it!

The superstar actor and producer, 58, recently opened up about life, art and everything in between in a new interview with GQ, during which he explained how he’s “been pretty much hiding out” in his Los Angeles home for much of the pandemic — and how he’s used that time to quit smoking and drinking altogether.

While chewing a nicotine mint, Pitt explained that he quit smoking cigarettes during the pandemic after realizing he didn’t have it in him to simply “cut back.”

“I don’t have that ability to do just one or two a day,” he explained. “It’s not in my makeup. I’m all in. And I’m going to drive into the ground. I’ve lost my privileges.”

The actor went on to explain that after his ex, Angelina Jolie, filed for divorce in 2016, he got sober and spent a year and a half attending Alcoholics Anonymous — though, given his star status, has had to make adjustments for the sake of maintaining his privacy.

“I had a really cool men’s group here that was really private and selective, so it was safe,” he said. “Because I’d seen things of other people who had been recorded while they were spilling their guts, and that’s just atrocious to me.” – Source
