Brad Pitt's alcoholism suspicions (55) have been confirmed by the actor himself, who in an interview with The New York Times has confirmed that his addiction precipitated the breakup of his marriage to Angelina Jolie (44), three years ago. It is not the first time that Pitt refers to alcohol as the cause of his divorce, but in the interview given to the American newspaper during the promotion of his new film, Ad Astra , he has given new details about his addiction and has revealed that he had to go to therapy to overcome it and he was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for a year and a half.
