Brad Pitt says letting public scrutiny of his personal life get to him is a ‘waste of time'

Brad Pitt says letting public scrutiny of his personal life get to him is a ‘waste of time'

CNNa day ago

Brad Pitt isn't paying attention to what is being said about him publicly.
The actor spoke with GQ in an interview published Wednesday about his new race car film 'F1,' and touched on how he deals with his personal life often being a point of public discussion.
'My personal life is always in the news. It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way,' Pitt said, later adding that '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.'
The Oscar-winner said that paying any mind to the chatter has 'always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that,' and that overall his '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,' he said, likening inevitable gossip about him to 'this fly buzzing around a little bit.'
Much of Pitt's personal life has made headlines throughout his career, notably his relationship with Angelina Jolie.
Pitt and Jolie's divorce was settled last year after an eight-year legal battle, following Jolie's 2016 divorce filing. The former couple, who were once one of Hollywood's most glamorous pairings, were together for about a decade and became parents of six before they married in 2014.
Regarding the culmination of their years-long legal dispute related to their divorce, Pitt told GQ this week that he thought it wasn't 'that major of a thing' and that it was 'just something coming to fruition. Legally.'
Jolie and Pitt are still engaged in a complicated legal battle relating to Jolie's sale of her stake in Château Miraval, the French winery they once co-owned and the property where they were married. The case remains ongoing.

And we have a run

Eight teams remain in the chase for a college softball national title. Follow our coverage of the WCWS from Oklahoma City Imagn Images There it is!!! Alana Johnson ripped a ball down the line that was then bobbled by Jaden Pone, allowing Lauren Allred to score from first. Ole Miss is challenging to see if Allred left early on the pitch, but upon further review, it's clear that Allred not only didn't leave early, but her lead was actually incredibly late. Imagn Images B4 - Ole Miss 0, Texas Tech 0 And we have our first hit of the night! Texas Tech's Lauren Allred let an outside pitch get deep and took it the other way down the left-field line to break up Aliyah Binford's no-hitter. With just one out so far in the bottom of the fourth, let's see if the Red Raiders can capitalize. I had an interesting conversation a couple of weeks ago with another reporter, who brought up a really interesting question: Is there any position in sports where a single player can be more impactful than pitchers in softball? I think the answer is no. Even without Nijaree Canady's offense, her ability to impact a game is astonishing. Many people argue that quarterbacks are the "most important position" in sports but even with a great QB, teams need WRs who can catch the ball and score touchdowns. When Canady is throwing 70-plus into the zone, you don't need much from your catcher. Her individual ability to stop the other team from scoring -- or even being in position to score -- is crazy. That was such a wild play by freshman Hailey Toney on a hard-hit ball by Ole Miss' Aliyah Binford to keep Nijaree Canady's (whispers) perfect game intact. Toney bounced the ball up in the air off her glove, caught it and threw it to first in time to get Binford out. Some strong plays from the Red Raiders' left side of the infield so far tonight. That was a pretty down spin pitch from Aliyah Binford to strike out Hailey Toney looking. As Jessica Mendoza and Michelle Smith like to say on the broadcasts, she really "pulled the string" on that one and totally froze Toney in the batter's box. We're still hitless in this one, folks ... Oregon was the No. 16 seed for the NCAA Tournament: Coach: Melyssa Lombardi Record: 53-8, 19-3 in the Big Ten Players to watch: Kedre Luschar, .444 average, 7, 61 RBIs Kai Luschar, .421, 24 RBIs, 59 SB Rylee McCoy, .399, 19 HR, 58 RBIs Paige Sinicki, .374, 8 HR, 50 RBIs, 30 SB Elise Sokolsky, 17-4, 2.00 ERA, 134 K Lyndsey Grein, 29-2, 2.08 ERA, 222 K Seeing lots of grounders from this Texas Tech offense so far the first time through the order. Against a drop/change pitcher like Aliyah Binford, it's vital for hitters to over-emphasize getting under the ball. We'll see if they can make the adjustment this second time through. B3 - Ole Miss 0, Texas Tech 0 NiJaree Canady has worked three innings without allowing a baserunner, and she has four strikeouts in the nine batters she has faced. That was a nice snag by Rebels third baseman Ashton Landsell, and she leads off the top of the third. So far, this one has gone by quickly in OKC and it already feels like it's getting late in the game, somehow. But when it's a pitchers duel, that's just how it goes. T3 - Ole Miss 0, Texas Tech 0 Still no hits for either team. Texas Tech has had a couple of runners via walks, but it hasn't been able to do anything with them. Headed to the third. Let's see some offense! For as much praise as Nijaree Canady gets in the circle, her offense is no joke. The fact that she also leads this Red Raiders team in homers with 11 this season is just remarkable. I can't imagine how crazy some fans would go if she hit one out at Devon Park today. Aliyah Binford sits down the Red Raiders after hitting Alexa Langeliers with a pitch, stranding her at first. While Nijaree Canady is definitely the big name in this pitching matchup, Binford has put together a strong season in the SEC, with a 3.58 ERA, an 11-3 record and an 80-50 strikeout-to-walk ratio. T2 - Ole Miss 0, Texas Tech 0 Ole Miss went down in order with three strikeouts. Texas Tech got a runner on via walk, but there's nothing going for the Red Raiders. And we're going to the second inning scoreless. Imagn Images OK here's a fun stat to keep an eye on: Entering the WCWS, Karlyn Pickens. had 280 strikeouts this season, and NiJaree Canady had 279. Pickens had eight earlier today, bringing her season total to 288. Don't be surprised if Canady passes her by the end of this game. Nijaree Canady makes it look SO easy. Her 56 mph changeup paired with a rise up, and it is a wicked combo. Three up, three down, all via strikeouts. And we have our first NiJa stomp of the night. She is mesmerizing to watch. $1 million (very) well spent. For as much hype as Tennessee's Karlyn Pickens gets for the speed on the radar gun, NiJaree Canady just hit 75 mph and struck out Ole Miss' Jaden Pone on a 74 mph rise ball. Absolutely nasty stuff. The weather delay is done, and Nijaree Canady is in the circle. Let's go. According to the broadcast, this is the first meeting between Texas Tech and Ole Miss since 2001. In that matchup, the Rebels took down the Red Raiders, 1-0.
