Brad Pitt calls his 8-year spanning divorce from Angelina Jolie not 'that major of a thing'
Brad Pitt is turning up the heat on the cover of GQ this month. But what's gotten everybody really hot and bothered is his dismissive comment regarding his and partner of over a decade, Angelina Jolie's divorce being finalised.
A post shared by GQ (@gq)
When asked if the actor felt "relief" now that the 8-year long legal battle was finally done, Brad very matter of factly stated, "No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally".
Well that was cold.
Brad and Angelina became romantically involved in the mid-2000s, their relationship eventually blooming into a full-fledged family life with 6 adopted children — Maddox, currently 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, Knox, 16, and Vivienne, also 16. They tied the knot much later on, in 2014, though the marriage per se lasted less than 2 years with Angelina filing for divorce in September 2016, days after a private plane flight on which she claimed Brad was abusive to her and the kids. Untangling their real estate portfolio and joint assets took a sum total of 8 years, with the divorce being finalised on December 30, 2024. The GQ interview marks the first time that Brad has acknowledged the divorce.
The actor is currently awaiting the release of his passion project F1, which has been in the making since July 2023. When asked if the film acted as a bit of a "refuge" for him amid the ongoing drama, Brad was quick to clarify, "Um, I don't see it that way", adding, "It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know. Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained. It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit".
As far as his personal life goes, Brad and his girlfriend of over 2 years, Ines de Ramon, are "in a great place", as per a source-based report on PEOPLE.

When George Clooney gifted 14 of his friends $1M each for their support over the decades
A friend in need is a friend indeed. While once upon a time it was Hollywood's hall of fame veteran George Clooney who was the friend in need, the actor, despite tripling down on the success and the accolades, hasn't forgotten the people who were there for him through thick and thin, before his name became an institution in itself. Back in 2013, far long ahead of his days of struggle, George decided to pay it all back — and quite literally at that. He purchased 14 posh Tumi suitcases and filled each of them with a million dollars each. He then got down to planning a dinner party with the 14 recipients — his closest friends over 35 years — and surprised them on the spot. And if you happen to be wondering, George made sure to pay the required taxes on the bounty amounts, making sure that the million-dollar gifts, were not a penny less than that. What pushed him to work out this big, little gesture but? In an interview with GQ, George reflected, "I've slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I've helped them over the years". He continued, "I just held up a map and I just pointed to all the places I got to go in the world and all the things I've gotten to see because of them. And I said, 'How do you repay people like that?'. And I said, 'Oh well, how about a million bucks?'. Randy Gerber, one among George's 14 comrades, had shared with MSNBC back in 2017 how the gesture, "pretty much sums up who George is". Randy recalls George saying, "I know we've all been through some hard times, some of you are still going through it. You don't have to worry about your kids; you don't have to worry about school; you don't have to worry about paying your mortgage". What do you think about George's grand gesture for his friends?
