Talking about his past, Brad Pitt told Esquire magazine that he has some regrets. The actor admitted that before he met Angelina Jolie he had experimented with drugs a lot. He said: “For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years … off. But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity.”
Brad says that he actually experienced an epiphany. ”About a decade ago I made a conscious change… It was an epiphany – a decision not to squander my opportunities. It was a feeling of, ‘Get up.’ Because otherwise, what’s the point?,” he explained. The 49-year-old star points out that he has never been happier than he is now.
