Brad Pitt says he has resumed drinking alcohol after seven years of sobriety, revealing the change in an Esquire interview published Monday.
“I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon,” Mr. Pitt said, according to a report from TMZ.
The 62-year-old actor said the return to drinking has come with limits.
“I can have a few,” he added. “But I can’t have a lot. I have to be professional about it.”
Mr. Pitt first gave up alcohol in 2016 after his split from ex-wife Angelina Jolie, spending nearly two years in recovery with Alcoholics Anonymous, according to NBC News. He has spoken about the experience in several interviews since, including a 2020 awards-show speech in which he credited fellow actor Bradley Cooper with helping him get sober, the outlet reported at the time.
