Brad Pitt revealed in an interview that he had suicidal thoughts and started drinking again.

Brad Pitt, at the age of 62, made emotional confessions about a difficult period in his life, during which family problems led him to have suicidal thoughts.

In an interview with Esquire magazine, the actor explained that the emotional pain became overwhelming, even feeling "the cold barrel of a gun in my head" as a form of relief.

Although he did not intend to take his life, he understood why some people consider suicide as a release from suffering. Pitt mentioned that the survival instinct prevented him from acting.

The actor acknowledged that he was sober for seven years but relapsed, later realizing that alcohol does not do him any good. In the interview, he reflected on the passage of time and encouraged everyone to follow their desires without delay. His confessions come against the backdrop of his divorce from Angelina Jolie and the conflicts related to the custody of their children.
