I was on my knees, smoking bongs for breakfast in midst of drug & booze addiction after Angelina split, admits Brad Pitt
WHEN Brad Pitt sat down with Hollywood podcaster Dax Shepard, he no doubt hoped to polish his gilded image and keep the chat on track about his new movie, F1. But as he opened up on his issues with drugs, booze and addiction, and how his life spun out of control after his bitter split from actress Angelina Jolie, a darker picture emerged. 8 Brad Pitt, who is now dating glamorous Ines de Ramon, has opened up on his issues with drugs, booze and addiction Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 8 The Hollywood star reveals his life spun out of control following his bitter split from actress Angelina Jolie Credit: Getty 8 Brad says he was 'on his knees' when he sought treatment for alcoholism Credit: WENN 8 The actor admitted getting high on marijuana before breakfast during one 'bugged out' year Credit: WENN Brad was, in his own words, 'on his knees' when he sought treatment for alcoholism following the end of his once perfect marriage. And as he admitted he once started his day with a bong and four fizzy drinks, fans were given a startling insight into his past. Brad, 61, said: 'You know, I was pretty much on my knees and I was really open. 'I was trying anything and everyone. READ MORE IN SHOWBIZ 'Anything anyone threw at me. 'It was a difficult time. 'I needed rebooting. 'I needed to wake the f*** up in some areas.' Most read in Celebrity Brad admitted getting high on marijuana before breakfast during one 'bugged out' year as he discussed how close he came to quitting On smoking, he said: 'I'm done. Inside Brangelina's bitter fight over £150million paradise vineyard as she cuts him out of couple's dream home 'Couple of years now. 'None — 30 years of smoking . . . I've had enough.' He met Dax at a 30-strong, all-male 'It gives you permission to say, 'I'm going to step out on this ledge and see what happens'. And I really grew to love it. 'Anything could go, because some guys would be like, 'Do you know what, I didn't have such a bad week' and (they would) talk about their wins, little failures, little successes. 'A lot of insecurity' 'There's always one guy, though, that just loves to hear himself talk. But it was really moving.' The actor is now attempting to get his career back on track with the release of Formula One movie F1, which is out today, at the same time as he enjoys a blossoming romance with glamorous Ines de Ramon, 32. In his new flick, he plays veteran driver Sonny Hayes, who comes out of retirement to rescue buddy Ruben Cervantes' (Javier Bardem) ailing race team, years after a near-fatal crash. British F1 ace Lewis Hamilton is a producer and the film, which has garnered mixed reviews, is directed by Joseph Kosinski and the rest of the team behind Top Gun: Maverick, except Tom Cruise. Fans will note the parallels in what could be a case of art imitating life. Sonny is shown as a washed-up 'old man' who has fallen into gambling and only rediscovers his love for the sport when he faces competition from a younger driver. I needed rebooting. I needed to wake the f*** up in some areas Brad Pitt Brad now admits he was similarly lost after Angelina, 50, filed for divorce in September 2016. She cited irreconcilable differences around the same time as the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services investigated Brad for alleged child abuse after an incident on the family private jet. It was reported that the star had lost his temper when their son One source claimed the actor 'was drunk' and the situation quickly 'escalated'. During the probe, Brad voluntarily completed drug testing. Meanwhile, two of his kids stopped using his last name. Brad, who was raised in Springfield, Missouri, was cleared of all allegations. But his personal life was in turmoil, and led to him seeking professional help. However, he recently revealed he was rapped for discussing his enthusiasm for Alcoholics Anonymous in a New York Times interview. Explaining why he wanted to talk about the closed-door sessions, Brad told Dax's Armchair Expert podcast: 'It was a men's group, it was AA, it was when I was first getting sober. 'I just thought it was incredible, men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches and a lot of humour. 'I thought it was a really special experience. 'So I do this interview, and I got admonished by someone from the higher-ups, saying, 'It's anonymous'.' Few could have predicted that Brad would end up in AA when so-called Brangelina first went public two decades ago in 2005. The relationship was controversial from the start amid rumours they had fallen for each other on the set of Mr And Mrs Smith, at a time when he was still married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston. First half of the career was a lot of insecurity and you're always doubting Brad Pitt Meanwhile, Angelina was known for wearing a locket containing ex-partner Billy Bob Thornton's blood. She furiously denied an affair, saying: 'To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. 'I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. 'I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.' 8 The star is now attempting to get his career back on track with the release of Formula One movie F1, which is out today Credit: PA 8 In the flick, he plays veteran driver Sonny Hayes, who comes out of retirement to rescue buddy Ruben Cervantes' ailing race team Credit: Warner Bros Heartbroken Jen later made clear her feelings when she told Vanity Fair magazine: 'What happened to him after the separation — it's his life now. 'I've made a conscious effort not to add to the toxicity of this situation. 'I haven't retaliated.' Angelina, who had already adopted kids Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia when she met Brad, gave birth to their first child Shiloh in May 2006. Pax was adopted in Vietnam in March 2007, and twins Knox and Vivienne were delivered in France in July 2008. For years, the Pitt-Jolies were the image of the perfect rainbow family. Angelina balanced being a mum with shooting critically acclaimed films, including 2008's Changeling, and Brad continued to be box office gold, releasing hits such as The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Ocean's Thirteen and Inglourious Basterds, despite hitting middle age. He became Hollywood's biggest star off the back of a 'white trash' background in the Midwest, where he was raised as a Southern Baptist by his dad William, who ran a trucking company, and mum Jane, a teacher. His brother Doug 'was always getting in trouble', according to Brad, who added: 'Dad had me mowing the lawn at eight, you know. 'All my life I had a job. 'I remember he (my brother) got in fights before I did. 'I remember getting in a fight and grabbing a guy by the balls. 'It worked.' Brad quit a journalism degree at the University of Missouri to try to make it in LA when a friend offered him a month's stay in his dad's flat in the unfashionable suburb of Burbank in the mid-1980s. He had just $275 to his name and says: 'First half of the career was a lot of insecurity and you're always doubting.' I don't think about perception much anymore Brad Pitt After a long stint working as an extra, while struggling to get a Screen Actors Guild card, he almost quit acting, despite winning a breakout role on Thelma & Louise in 1991. He said: 'They would say, if you're not working in five years, go home. I got that at year four. I had hit a point — 1994 is such a bugged out year. 'I'd had not such great experiences coming off a couple of jobs and I just wasn't sure what I was doing. 'I had the weirdest summer. I had this girlfriend that was into reptiles, we bought 40 chameleons. I was living in Errol Flynn's old bachelor pad, our house was like a terrarium. 'It was the most unhealthy time. I would wake up and have a bong load and four coca colas on ice, no food.' Even today, Brad says his private persona is a world away from the actor you see on screen, explaining: 'I'm not that guy that can be out and about in public with people. 'I have always enjoyed my solitude. Not loneliness, but the solitude. That can be with loved ones and friends and family and I really need it.' Recently, he has been criticised for his fashion choices, even when out on the arm of his American jewellery worker girlfriend, Ines. But Brad hits back: 'I don't think about perception much any more. 'I believe in what I'm doing, I understand my craft, I feel like I elevate the jobs I'm in and I put the work in. I work hard.' 8 Brad won a breakout role on Thelma & Louise in 1991 Credit: MGM 8 Brad says his private persona is a world away from the actor you see on screen Credit: Getty

‘I'm getting the old Kevin back' reveals openly gay GAA star as he hails All-Ireland winner's gesture after coming out
KEVIN PENROSE was four days into his self-imposed isolation in a Thailand hotel room when he realised something had to give. For the better part of the previous decade, the 31-year-old had been locked in an internal struggle, striving to find his place in a confusing world.

While now one of the Advertisement He explained to SunSport: "I think the first moment was probably like my later teens, maybe like 17/18 years old. "It's already a time where you're trying to figure out yourself and where you want to go - if you want to go to college or go work or what you want to do with your life. "Ever since I came out, I think everything else in my life just sort of fell into place. "If you asked me three years ago if I'd be on the phone talking to yourself about my experience and how open and so freely about it, I would have called you mad!" Already a vulnerable place to be, a teenage Penrose's situation was not made any easier by growing up in a sporting arena. Advertisement He comes from fine stock, with his brother Martin having won Sam Maguire with While he did his GCSE exams in a mixed school, he moved to an all-boys' school for his A-levels. Tomas O'Se calls out GAA's mid-season rule change but fellow Sunday Game pundit disagrees It meant being surrounded by fellow teenage boys, some of whom would off-handedly use sensitive terms and slurs - less out of malice and more out of ignorance as to their impact. Penrose admitted: "You're trying to make new friends. You're starting fresh, essentially, and you do want to start off on the right foot to fit in. "That sort of resonated over to my club football, as well, like trying to break into the senior football team at the same time. Advertisement "Once you're not making it in there as well you're sort of, 'okay I'm not a good footballer anymore.' "Everyone's trying to get ahead and stand out and be the best in the room and if there's terms thrown around, and even it might be seen as banter to them, to me I got to the point where I actually took offence to that. "You're just thinking, 'okay I can't act or talk or I have to partake in this behaviour to sort of fit in so I don't draw attention to myself'. "If I react to it then they're gonna call me gay." ON HIS TRAVELS It wasn't until he went travelling that Penrose began to process the many questions he faced concerning his sexuality. Advertisement He went to In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, Kevin set off for Asia, admitting that he was trying to escape from his mental anguish. He added: "I used travel as a way to sort of run away and I thought the feelings will go away because I'm travelling. "I'm not in those environments any more and I'm away from Gaelic football. "I was still feeling all those feelings and bottling it up with myself just in a different environment, if it was in Liverpool or in America or in Asia. Advertisement "I still just assumed it's the football environment that's making me feel this way but, in reality, it's myself. "The feelings and everything just kept following me around until I got to Asia and just got to a point where I was like something's got to give." "A lot of people would still be hesitant to talk about my sexuality. Not that they don't want to, they just don't know how to go about it or they just don't feel comfortable yet talking about it." Penrose is a content creator and regularly documents his extensive travels. Even now, telling his story over the phone, he is back in Meath having spent a couple of days in Mayo, Connemara, and But four months into his Asian expedition, the motivation dwindled as he was staying in a hostel in Phuket, Advertisement Penrose called his mum under the guise of a general catch-up but with the ultimate intention of telling her what he had always known but was afraid to admit. He likened the reaction, which he had catastrophised in his own head, to being typically Irish in the best way. Penrose revealed: "I was still like shooting my content and trying to make posts online and the love for that wasn't really there anymore. "I remember the hotel room very specifically; it was just a dark hotel room with a tiny window and, to me, it was like, 'okay is this my rock bottom.' "I didn't leave that room for about four or five days, just me and my thoughts. Advertisement "It was one of them conversations where you kept asking silly questions just to keep the conversation going as long as possible. "I know my mum would be sensing something's wrong or something's not right if he's staying on the phone for this long "It just got to the point where I told her and it was just so normalized and everything I thought would go wrong didn't happen and it was just such a normal Irish response. "With dad, as well, it was like, 'all right very good, well done. How's the weather over there?'" 4 Ronan McNamee encouraged Kevin Penrose to return to gaelic football Credit: David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile Advertisement With that weight off his shoulders, Penrose told his extended family, and then the world via When he came home to While he considered a return to gaelic football, Penrose was nervous to take the plunge, unsure as to how he would be received. That was until Ronan McNamee - a fellow Aghyaran clubman who is an All-Ireland champion, three-time Ulster winner, and former All-Star - reached out to his fellow Tyrone native. Thanks to his words of encouragement, Penrose returned to club football and still plays for Aghyaran to this day. Advertisement Kevin said: "We've grown up together in the same school, he's a couple of years older than me but we're always around the same social circles. "We played football together growing up and I'm really good friends with his wife Clara. "Ronan was just the one that was sort of, 'oh, you'll come back to football' sort of thing. "It made me realise that my club doesn't have a problem with that sort of thing. "A lot of people would still be hesitant to talk about my sexuality. Not that they don't want to, they just don't know how to go about it or they just don't feel comfortable yet talking about it. Advertisement "I think having the likes of Ronan, a top senior footballer within our club and county at the time, it speaks volumes that he's willing to have the conversations." 'AUTHENTIC SELF' Penrose has relived all of the above repeatedly over the three years since he came out. Earlier this year, he explained the process on an episode of the BBC's GAA Social podcast. He has been doing so again over the last week in conjunction Pride Month and with the launch of SuperValu's new limited-edition Pride themed Bag for Life. Earlier this month, he took part in the Gaelic Players' Association Pride brunch alongside Conor Meyler and Mark Shields, the latter of whom is also gay. Advertisement It is a story that he finds easier and more enjoyable to tell now, while he has been an active LGBTQ+ rights advocate. And he is hopeful that the GAA is in a better position for members of the LGBTQ+ community. He said: "I'm sort of getting the old Kevin back and a better version of myself and I really am just everyday being my authentic self. "I feel like my story is no longer my story in a sense. I feel like it's someone else's story now that they can take something from it. "Thinking back to whenever I was going through all those feelings at that time, I didn't really see any footballer who has gone through the same thing as me. Advertisement "You had the likes of Donal Og Cusack who come out and it was highlighted but sort of forgotten about in a sense and you think back that was such a long time ago. "Even the likes of Mark Shields, for example, who had recently just spoken about his experiences playing for Armagh and how well they have welcomed him in. "If my club can do it and if Armagh can do it, then why can't this be replicated throughout all of Ireland and throughout all the county teams. "With the GAA and their motto 'where we all belong', I think it's there's no better time to really push it." SuperValu's limited edition rainbow tote is designed to be carried with pride and is available to purchase for €3. Profits from the sale of the bags will go to Belong To, the national LGBTQ+ youth organisation. 4 Martin Penrose, brother of Kevin Penrose, won an All-Ireland with Tyrone Credit: Michael Cullen / SPORTSFILE Advertisement
