After Divorce With Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt Was Left Paranoid With One Incident While He Took Help From David Fincher
Brad Pitt is the official blue-eyed heartthrob of Hollywood. The diversity of roles played by the actor over the years evidently proves his remarkable acting prowess. From playing the character of fiery and feisty Tyler Durden in David Fincher’s Fight Club to portraying the role of Lt. Aldo Raine in one of the most popular projects Inglorious Basterds– the 59-year-old actor has been associated with almost every movie genre.
Apart from his movies, his personal life has always made headlines. His dating history includes A-listers from Hollywood like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie. His much-hyped legal separation from Angelina Jolie left him in a bad state emotionally. The Seven actor confessed how David Fincher helped him during the lowest phase in his life.
How David Fincher Helped Brad Pitt During One Of The Lowest Phases In His Life?
During an interview with the reputed media outlet GQ in 2017, Brad Pitt spoke about his much-publicized divorce, addiction to alcohol, and becoming a better person. While talking about staying in the same house where he used to live with his kids and ex-wife Angelina Jolie, the actor mentioned that he went on to stay at his friend’s place in Santa Monica where he stumbled upon David Fincher. He said-
” It was too sad to be here at first, so I went and stayed on a friend’s floor, a little bungalow in Santa Monica. I crashed over here a little bit, my friend [David] Fincher lives right here. He’s always going to have an open door for me, and I was doing a lot of stuff on the Westside, so I stayed at my friend’s house on the floor for a month and a half—until I was out there one morning, 5:30, and this surveillance van pulls up.”
He even mentioned feeling paranoid. He added-
“They don’t know that I’m up behind a wall, and they pull up—and it’s a long story—but it was something more than TMZ because they got into my friend’s computer. The stuff they can do these days… So I got a little paranoid being there. I decided I had to pick up and come here.”
He was very grateful to his director friend David Fincher who always had his door open for the actor. The actor-director duo have collaborated for critically acclaimed projects like Seven, Fight Club, and The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
Brad Pitt Tals About How He Wants To Keep His Kids Away From His Celebrity Status
During the interview for the cover story of GQ in 2017, Brad Pitt was asked about how he has evolved as a person with respect to the celebrity status attached to him. he said-
“But so little of it is accurate, and I avoid so much of it. I just let it go. It’s always been a long-run game for me. As far as out there, I hope my intentions and work will speak for themselves. But, yes, at the same time, it is a drag to have certain things drug out in public and misconstrued.”
While talking about how he would always want to protect his kids from the media limelight, he said-
“I worry about it more for my kids, being subjected to it, and their friends getting ideas from it. And of course, it’s not done with any kind of delicacy or insight—it’s done to sell. And so you know the most sensational sells and that’s what they’ll be subjected to, and that pains me.”
