Brad Pitt Opens Up About Angelina Jolie Divorce and Decades of Media Scrutiny

Brad Pitt doesn’t flinch when talking about the past. In recent interviews promoting his new film “F1,” the “Fight Club” star, 61, downplayed the final chapter of his long divorce from Angelina Jolie.

Brad Pitt described the December 2024 end to his divorce case as just a “legal” thing wrapping up. He said it didn’t feel major and framed it more as paperwork than drama. That is not how Angelina Jolie’s team saw it. The lawyer of the “Maria” actress, 50, called it a hard-fought relief after years of emotional strain.

Back in 2016, Jolie filed for divorce after an alleged incident on a private flight. Pitt denied all accusations, and no charges were filed. But the moment triggered a legal mess that stretched nearly eight years, including disputes about custody and assets.

Jolie’s camp says Pitt tried to block her and control her with NDAs. The legal tension has not cooled off yet.

Pitt Compares Media Attention to a ‘Buzzing Fly’

In a sharp moment, Brad Pitt called public interest in his personal life a “nagging time suck.” He likened it to a fly that won’t go away, something he has learned to ignore over the decades. Still, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t left marks.

Despite everything, Pitt says he feels “warm and secure” these days. He credits his work, close friends, and family. At 60, he seems to focus more on peace than public image. Whether that peace is real or just what he tells the press is another matter.

Pitt admitted there is “estrangement” between him and the kids, suggesting that time has not fully healed the divide yet.

Jolie’s legal team framed the end of the divorce as the start of healing for her and their six kids. They have painted a picture of long-term stress, conflict, and recovery. Their public tone stands in clear contrast to Pitt’s more laid-back version.

 

Pitt / IG / Multiple reports say some of Brad Pitt’s children are dropping “Pitt” from their last names.

Some observers have called out Pitt for claiming to move on while still filing lawsuits. The continued legal fights don’t exactly match his “that is all behind me” vibe. It raises questions about whether he is truly detached or just done talking.

In 2022, rumors swirled that Pitt was retiring. He now shrugs that off. “F1” has him energized, and there is buzz about a follow-up to “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

Pitt says he is at the stage of life where he values “people who love you back.” It is a telling phrase, especially given the reported distance from some of his kids.

Even when the questions get personal, Brad Pitt keeps the tone breezy. He laughs off past drama, talks about art, and turns his focus to his films. It is a way to manage the story, though critics say it sometimes comes off as avoidance.
