Hollywood actor Brad Pitt turned 56 on Wednesday. Over the years, Pitt has been very honest about his personal demons, his battles with alcoholism, his struggles with anger, and his attempts to become a better person, reports Hindustan Times.

“I just started therapy,” the actor told GQ Style in 2017, in his first interview post the split. “I love it. I love it. I went through two therapists to get to the right one.”

In 2019, the actor revealed some more details an interview with The New York Times,“I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privilege.” He said that he started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, where he shared the most personal parts of his life. He has delivered acclaimed performances in films such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Ad Astra, but the discourse around him invariably loops back around to his personal life, and his split from Angelina Jolie, reports Hindustan Times.

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016 after two years of marriage and nearly 12 years together. Pitt and Jolie share six children together: daughters Zahara (14), Shiloh (13), and Vivienne (11), and sons Maddox (18), Pax (15), and Knox (11).
