Brad Pitt has revealed that he is no longer sober after spending seven years without alcohol, saying he has returned to drinking but now approaches it with more restraint. Pitt’s decision to stop drinking followed a difficult period in his personal life. When Cooper presented Pitt with the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2020, Pitt publicly thanked him for helping him stop drinking. “I got sober because of this guy,” Pitt said during his acceptance speech. “I heard that and I went, ‘I’m going to stop feeling like there’s something wrong with that,'” Pitt said.
