Brad Pitt Opens Up About His 'Missed Window' on Gay Experience in Candid Interview

Brad Pitt Spills the Tea: Opens Up About His Sexuality and Sobriety

In his most candid interview yet, Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt is spilling the tea on everything from his sexuality to his struggles with sobriety. The 61-year-old Oscar winner, who's currently dating jewelry executive Ines de Ramon, 32, got real with pal Dax Shepard during a juicy chat on Monday's episode of Armchair Expert.

The father-of-six revealed that he's never had a "gay experience" and jokingly shut down Dax when the host asked if it made him nervous. Brad quipped, "Sexually, you mean?" before sharing his own experiences with homophobic abuse as a kid. He recalled being called "gay" and subjected to vile insults along with his brother.

But that's not all - Brad also opened up about his journey with sobriety, revealing that he "missed the window" for exploring his sexuality but would have been willing to take the leap if the opportunity arose. When Dax asked who he'd want to share it with, Brad quipped, "You're maybe 14th or 15th. I don't want to brag, but you're going to need to build up to me." Talk about a saucy response!

The A-lister also dished about his struggles with addiction, revealing that he turned to marijuana in the wake of his meteoric Hollywood success. He confessed, "In the '90s, all that attention really threw me. I became a bit of a hermit and just bonged myself into oblivion." Yikes!

But it's not all doom and gloom - Brad also credited Bradley Cooper with helping him overcome his addiction. During an acceptance speech at the National Board Of Review gala, he revealed that Bradley had been instrumental in getting him sober.

When asked about his decision to join AA, Brad shared, "It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself. It was actually really freeing just to expose the ugly sides of yourself." Ah, who can't relate to that?

The actor also reflected on his experience meeting Dax at an AA meeting, revealing that it had been a game-changer for him. "It gives you permission to go, 'OK, I'm gonna step out on this edge and see what happens,'" he shared.

As the conversation came full circle, Brad praised Dax for being so open and honest about his own struggles with addiction. He quipped, "Dax was usually near the end because he's been there awhile... He's like an elder statesman who fuses humor into his wisdom." Talk about a glowing endorsement!

In related news, Brad has been spotted getting cozy with Ines de Ramon, 32, and is currently residing in Los Angeles. The couple has been going strong since their whirlwind romance began.
