After seven years of sobriety, Brad Pitt admits he’s drinking again… “in moderation.”
“No, I got—I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon,” Pitt told Esquire with a “little laugh.”
“In a more restrained manner. I got overconfident a couple times, went, Yep, nope, not good for me. Not in big quantities.”
He added that he can “have a few” glasses of wine, saying, “But I can’t have a lot. I have to be professional about it.”
Oh, that will end well.
In that same interview, Pitt showed his support for AI. “There’s a lot of pushback against AI, but AI is going to be the very thing that, if used as a tool, is going to help these mid-budget films, forty- to ninety-million-dollar budgeted films, get made,” he said.
