Famous actor Brad Pitt has decided not to hide his problems anymore. From alcohol abuse to smoking cessation, the 58-year-old actor tells it all in a new interview for "GQ". He talked about the difficult times in his past, including the long journey to sobriety and the rediscovery of a "new life".

The Oscar winner said he has spent years with mild depression that no one knew about, adding that he has always felt lonely in life.

"I have always felt very lonely in life. I only grew up as a child and I was also the only one in life here. I recently discovered what it means to be surrounded by friends and family. I was very fed up with myself in the late ’90s: I was hiding from the fame of being a celebrity. "I smoked a lot and used drugs constantly," said Brad Pitt.

"I did the same thing every night and I fell asleep. Always the same routine, I could hardly wait to go home and hide. "But that uncomfortable feeling was growing and one night I just said, 'This is a waste of my life,'" he continued.

In addition to drug use, Pitt was found to suffer from depression.

"I faced depression, but thankfully I went through it many years ago. But it also helped me realize who I am. For me, it was a moment of great education ", the actor explained.

Brad Pitt closed the interview by saying: “There is a lot of talk about being honest with yourself and being an authentic version of yourself. "But I always wondered: what does authentic mean?"

"For me it was to get to the point of recognizing those deep wounds we carry with us and overcoming them to start a new life."
