Brad Pitt Recalls 1st AA Meeting After Angelina Jolie Split: ‘Needed To Wake The F**k Up’

Brad Pitt is reflecting on his journey in Alcoholics Anonymous. The Oscar winner was the latest guest on “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard” and looked back at his first meeting, admitting it helped him through a difficult time. “I was pretty much on my knees, and I was really open,” he said. “I was trying anything and everyone. Anything anyone threw at me. It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting. I needed to wake the f**k up in some areas.” This isn’t the first time Brad has talked about pursuing recovery. He first opened up about his time in AA while speaking with the New York Times in 2019, revealing he entered the program three years earlier after his ex-wife Angelina Jolie filed for divorce. During the podcast, Dax commended the 61-year-old for attending AA and being vulnerable while he was navigating personal challenges in the public eye.
