Hollywood actor Brad Pitt seems set to welcome a new era in his life. He is preparing for the release of his new film F1, and recently finalized his divorce with Angelina Jolie after a drawn-out court case. The actor spoke about the ‘frustration’ of having his private life in the headlines during a recent interview with GQ, discussing the collapse of his marriage for the first time.

Brad Pitt Opens Up About Life in the Public Eye

During the interview, Brad said, “My personal life is always in the news. It’s been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let’s put it that way. It’s been an annoyance I’ve had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. So, it’s always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don’t know. I don’t know. Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained. It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it’s like this fly buzzing around a little bit.”

When quizzed if the resolution of his divorce was something that came as a relief to him, the actor said, “No, I don’t think it was that big of an ordeal. Just something coming to pass. Legally.”
