Mexico City on Monday, June 9. The 61-year-old actor, who has been a constant subject of media attention throughout his career, spoke candidly about the importance of surrounding oneself with loved ones.
According to People, during a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, Pitt emphasized the value of learning from mistakes and moving forward. The Academy Award-winning actor expressed his belief that challenges often lead to future successes, suggesting a more mature perspective on life’s obstacles.
In a recent GQ interview, Pitt addressed the constant media coverage of his personal life, describing it as a “nagging time suck.” He remarked, “It’s been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let’s put it that way.” The actor dismissed the attention as “like this fly buzzing around,” while emphasizing that his life feels “contained” and “secure” with his close circle of friends and family.
How Pitt found personal stability after years of public scrutiny
The actor’s journey to finding peace comes after a lengthy divorce process with Angelina Jolie, which concluded in December 2024. The former couple, who split in 2016 and became legally single in 2019, share six children together. The resolution of their divorce marked the end of years of legal proceedings between the two Hollywood stars.
Currently, Pitt has found happiness in his relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, whom he began dating in late 2022. Sources close to the actor revealed to People magazine that he is content with both his personal life and his relationship, describing the couple as being “in a great place.”
At the F1 premiere, Pitt reflected on the wisdom that comes with age, stating that surrounding himself with people who genuinely care about him has become increasingly important. He emphasized the significance of maintaining connections with friends and family, describing it as a “simple equation” for living a fulfilling life.
The actor’s latest project, ‘F1,’ which features costars Damson Idris and producer Lewis Hamilton, is set to release in theaters on June 27, 2025. The film, produced by Apple Original Films, will debut just days before the Austrian Grand Prix, combining Pitt’s acting career with the high-stakes world of Formula 1 racing.
