Brad Pitt is owning his s**t… and trying to come out the other side stronger!
The Fight Club actor was down in Mexico City this week to appear at the F1 red carpet premiere. But of course, everybody’s thoughts related to Pitt and his life in the public eye — especially of late — center on the divorce he just recently (finally!) finalized with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. So, naturally, media outlets pounced on the opportunity to ask Brad about it when he walked the carpet at the F1 shindig. And he didn’t disappoint!!

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the actor was asked about going through life’s inevitable ups and downs, and how he stays “grounded” through it. To that, he replied:
“No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from [it] and move on.”
Not wrong!
What mistakes would those be, Brad?? Like, some pretty steep financial losses related to splitting from Angelina, or…?
Then, the 61-year-old father of six kids with the Maleficent star — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — tried to turn it positive! He quickly added:
“It’ll lead to the next success.”
Sure, Jan Brad!
Pitt — who is currently dating Ines de Ramon — did go on to add commentary about the bigger picture. Reflecting on his age, and the supposed wisdom he’s gleaned in those years, he said he know realizes what matters in life:
“How important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back.”
And those people would be??? He said:
“Friends, family, and that’s it. From there, we get to go make things. It’s a pretty simple, I think, equation.”
No question about that! Of course, in Brad’s case, we are a little skeptical about the family part. To put it, uh, very mildly.
Reactions, y’all?? Share ’em below…
