Brad Pitt revealed "family stuff" once put him in a very dark place.
The Fight Club actor spent roughly eight years embroiled in legal woes with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie trying to work out the terms of their divorce. Two years after they came to a settlement, he is speaking on the emotional toll he went through during this time.
During a recent interview with Esquire, he began, "I've never been suicidal except for one little period. And in that one little period, I just thought — I just couldn't — just didn't see a way out.
"I thought, 'Oh, okay, now I understand' — I understand suicide, in the sense that it's just relief. It's just looking for relief from the pain. But I also think we have incredible survival instincts. And for me, that immediately kicked in, but it was just …," he said. "This s–t ain't easy. And you're talking to a guy who won the lottery."
When he was asked if the dark time had to deal with "kid stuff," the actor responded, "Family stuff."
