Brad Pitt is getting candid about his life behind the scenes, opening up about sobriety and his mental health. In a wide-ranging interview with Esquire published on Monday, the Academy Award winner said he’s no longer sober and that he had felt suicidal at one point over “family stuff.” Elsewhere in the interview, Pitt opened up about the death of his mother in August 2025. “I’ve never been suicidal except for one little period. And in that one little period, I just thought – I just couldn’t – just didn’t see a way out,” he said, describing the pain he felt at the time as “oppressive.”
