Chill Guy Gives Chill Comment on Chill Divorce

by

Brad Pitt’s fame essentially boils down to him going with the flow, maintaining a relaxed and easy-going demeanor. Essentially, he’s a simple guy from Missouri. The writers strike disrupting the F1 shoot? He just saw it as another year to race, according to his interview with GQ. If the production imposed speed limits on his training, he could easily outpace that at his own pace. Regarding his prolonged and contentious divorce from Angelina Jolie, he considers it more of a natural progression, legally speaking.

His modest reaction to a challenging question aligns with his long-standing, relaxed personality. During his conversation with GQ, he addressed the interviewer as “bro” and stated that parts of his personal life have been under public scrutiny for over three decades. Regarding his handling of the divorce since about 2019, it seems to involve accepting the situation while acknowledging potential misunderstandings. In a GQ profile for Ad Astra and Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, Pitt compared his relationship with fame to that of a gazelle among predators. He described it as feeling like being disconnected from the herd, losing privacy, and being hunted.

Instead of diving deep into the details of his divorce, which few celebrities are eager to discuss, Pitt’s tendency to divert attention and portray himself as the victim is one reason this topic keeps resurfacing. A significant aspect of his separation and prolonged legal battle with Jolie concerning their shared vineyard, Château Miraval, was Pitt feeling threatened when Jolie decided to sell her shares to Stoli Group. This move triggered years of litigation over the property, with Pitt’s lawyers accusing Jolie’s team of preventing him from selling his shares without signing a broad NDA about their relationship. In an attempt to keep things private, he ended up making it public.

As a fan, I can’t help but notice that Brad Pitt seems to be intentionally diverting attention from his recent divorce. However, it’s hard to ignore the fact that in a previous high-profile interview (also in GQ), he and his co-star George Clooney spoke candidly about their shared Château Miraval, even amidst ongoing legal disputes. They shared tales of the estate’s charm and Brad’s dedication to its upkeep. Intriguingly, Brad even undertook an extraordinary project – enlarging the lake on the property, a move that left George Clooney somewhat bemused. Time and again, he has chosen to spotlight this aspect of his life. It’s almost as if the gazelle is using a megaphone to draw attention to its own habitat.

Pitt’s most recent response to the divorce question appears lighthearted, which seems unusual considering the numerous legal filings over the years suggesting otherwise. Pitt’s description of his divorce finalization as “something coming to fruition” implies a sense of natural progression or seasonal change, but it’s hard not to see it as an attempt to downplay the emotional turmoil. When compared to Jolie’s emotional display at the Maria premiere in Venice and her admission about Bell’s palsy after their separation, Pitt’s lack of openness leaves both the reader and Jolie puzzled. The paradox of celebrity is evident – we’ve been conditioned to empathize, but his unemotional demeanor seems distant and unfeeling. However, we know he cares deeply about various aspects of life, as demonstrated by his numerous interviews since the divorce. He has highlighted his love for nature, potential retirement, new friendships with artists, and personal growth – a far cry from who he was before. His genuine concern was evident during the press tour for Once Upon a Time… and when he collaborated with ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow to sell t-shirts. Pitt has always been sincere about these matters. Despite the possibility of moving on peacefully after years of conflict, the aftermath paints a different picture.
