Brad Pitt saw his struggle with alcohol as a “disservice” to himself, but is learning to “value” the mistakes he’s made because of what they’ve taught him.<\/p>\n

The “Ad Astra” actor has previously spoken of hitting the bottle after he split from Angelina Jolie in 2016 and admitted he viewed drinking as an “escape” from his life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking to Sir Anthony Hopkins for Interview magazine, his “Meet Joe Black” co-star asked about Brad’s “struggle with booze”, and he replied: “Well, I just saw it as a disservice to myself, as an escape.”<\/p>\n

The “Two Popes” star then said: “It’s a gift. I myself needed to hide it, years ago… But I look at it, and I think, ‘What a great blessing that was, because it was painful.’<\/p>\n
