In an interview with GQ, he said: 'Man, I've been doing this for a while and was wondering: Do I have more stories to tell? Do I have anything to add to this? Is there still any excitement I can find from this? '('F1') just reinvigorated the whole thing again for me."

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.

Home Improvement Episode Goes Viral For Being Woke
It's no exaggeration to say that there's an entire section of society who are quick to diminish any display of equality or morality as 'woke' or 'leftist' these days, with much of their disdain for these things seemingly stemming from the misconception that being 'politically correct' is a new and unwarranted phenomenon. Which is why a resurfaced clip from the '90s sitcom Home Improvement has caused quite a stir, with viewers pointing out that the overriding message of the episode would spark outrage from this particular group of people if it were to air on our TVs today. For reference, Home Improvement followed the life of DIY TV show host Tim Taylor, played by Tim Allen, his wife Jill, and their three sons. It originally aired on ABC between 1991 and 1999. And earlier this week, scenes from the Season 6 episode 'The Feminine Mistake" went viral on TikTok for the lesson Tim teaches his son Brad, played by Zachery Ty Bryan. The episode initially aired in May 1997, and shows Brad telling his girlfriend Angela to make him a sandwich — also suggesting that she make one for his dad, too. 'I don't need Angela to make me a sandwich,' Tim tells Brad, who insists: 'She doesn't mind,' which Angela echoes. Tim reiterates: 'I don't need you to make me a sandwich, thanks.' 'Very smooth, Brad,' Tim says to his son when they are alone in the next scene. 'I'm talking about you and Angela; the way you snapped your fingers, and she just jumped into action… You ever wonder why she does stuff like that?' 'She enjoys it,' Brad responds, but Tim argues: 'I'm not so sure. Sometimes girls do that because they're afraid if they don't do stuff like that, men won't like them.' 'You're just saying that because you ended up marrying someone like Mom,' Brad says, prompting a furious 'excuse me?!' from his father. 'I didn't 'end up' with Mom, I love her. I love her because she's a strong woman,' Tim asserts, to which Brad asks: 'You like that she gives you a hard time? When Tim says that he does, Brad asks: 'And you think that's good?' and Tim reasons: 'Well, I don't know, it works for me… But maybe having Angela as your sandwich girl works for you, your whole life is sandwiches!' Later, Brad stops Angela from making him a sandwich, and when she insists that she doesn't mind, he says: 'Well, I do,' later adding: 'I like you… I don't think a girl should do stuff for a guy when he can do it on his own.' Since being posted to TikTok, this clip has been liked almost 200k times, and racked up thousands of comments — with many of them saying the same thing.'this would be called woke today,' a popular comment reads. Somebody else echoed: 'They tried to do a story like this these days MAGA would call it 'woke' and call for a boycott of everyone involved.''Funny how back then the audience would have perceived the dad as a 'good man', whereas now the same audience would call him 'woke/soft/leftist,'' another user added.'now you would have 300 guys complaining it's woke,' one more agreed, while somebody else observed: 'It's almost like 'wokeness' that people keep referring to has always been there, it just wasn't wrapped up in inflated egos fueled by political rhetoric.'And one more concluded: 'I got so many of my lessons in being a man from 90s sitcoms. Just human lessons, not activists lessons.'

Brad Pitt Comments On Ines De Ramon Relationship
Since his split from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt has been incredibly private about his personal life. And, for that reason, you may not even know that he's been in a relationship for over two and a half years. For context, Brad was first linked with Ines de Ramon in 2022, shortly after she separated from her ex-husband, The Vampire Diaries star, Paul Wesley. Ines is 32 and is believed to work in the jewelry industry. Ines and Brad made their big red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival last September, but other than that, we haven't really seen or heard a huge amount about them. It's been reported that Brad is 'serious' about the relationship and that they moved in together last year, so, yeah. Fast forward to today, and the Oscar-winner made an incredibly rare comment about the romance — and whether or not their first public appearance together at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix in 2024 was strategically planned. For context, Brad is currently promoting the upcoming F1 movie, which was shot at actual Formula 1 races over the past two years. During a brand new profile with GQ, Brad was asked whether it was a deliberate choice for him and Ines to make their first joint appearance at an F1 race to generate buzz around the movie. 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' the 61-year-old replied, before giving his honest thoughts on orchestrated PR moves in relationships. 'If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be?' he said. 'If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' Well, there you have it. I wonder if we'll see these two take to the red carpet again as the F1 promo tour continues.

Brad Pitt speaks out for first time after eight-year divorce from Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt has opened up on his long-running divorce from ex-wife Angelina Jolie for the first time, after ending the dispute with an agreement earlier this year Brad Pitt has finally broken his silence on the end of his tumultuous divorce saga with Angelina Jolie. The Hollywood actor, 61, tied the knot with Angelina, now 49, in 2014 after a whirlwind romance that began on the set of 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' back in 2005. The pair parted ways in 2016, sparking a high-profile split that saw Angelina file for divorce in the same year, leading to a series of bitter disputes over custody and business interests, some of which remain unresolved. Discussing the closure of his divorce proceedings, the 'F1' actor downplayed the event, telling reporters: "No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally." The ex-couple's legal wrangles have included battles over their six children and the division of their shared assets, such as the Château Miraval winery located in France. Brad and Angelina share a brood of six: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16. In a candid GQ interview, Brad touched upon the relentless media attention he's faced, remarking: "It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way." Currently, Brad is living in Los Angeles with his partner, 32-year-old jewellery executive Ines de Ramon. When quizzed about whether their glamorous appearance at the 2024 British Grand Prix was a strategic move to promote F1, Brad dismissed the suggestion of any promotional intent. He remarked: "No, dude, it's not that calculated. If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve." When quizzed by the publication on whether Formula 1 was a sanctuary from the limelight, Brad Pitt replied: "Um, I don't see it that way." He continued: "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." Reflecting on his personal life, Brad shared: "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." The actor, who was once married to Jennifer Aniston until their split in 2005, seems to have found a sense of peace amidst the chaos of fame. When Brad and Angelina's divorce was finalised, her lawyer released a statement saying: "Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.' Lawyer James Simon added to the Associated Press: "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. 'This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago.'
