Brad Pitt is once again making headlines—not just for his role in the upcoming film F1, but for his candid reflections on personal experiences and missed opportunities. In a recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast, the Hollywood icon opened up about never having had a gay experience, jokingly acknowledging that he “missed the window” for one. While sharing this with light humor, Pitt clarified that if such a moment ever were to happen, Shepard wouldn’t exactly top the list, teasing that the podcast host would be “maybe 14th or 15th.” His relaxed tone and self-aware delivery added a dash of humor, but the admission also tapped into ongoing conversations about sexuality and openness in the industry.
This revelation comes as Pitt continues to draw public attention for his relationship with Ines de Ramon. The two made a high-profile appearance together at the F1 premiere, fueling speculation about the seriousness of their romance. Sources close to the couple describe de Ramon as a grounding presence in Pitt’s life—someone seen as “perfect” for the actor as he navigates a new chapter, both professionally and personally.
The podcast conversation also shifted to more serious territory when Pitt reflected on his post-divorce struggles, particularly his decision to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings following his separation from Angelina Jolie. He described being emotionally and mentally at a breaking point—“pretty much on [his] knees”—and shared that he was open to anything that could help him find clarity. “It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting,” he said, acknowledging that he sought out every tool and support available during that period. While Pitt didn’t confirm the timeline in full detail, it aligns with his earlier admission of attending AA meetings in 2016, in the immediate aftermath of the Jolie split.
These rare, honest insights from Pitt have only added depth to his public persona, offering fans a glimpse of vulnerability behind the Hollywood polish. Whether discussing identity, personal growth, or emotional recovery, the F1 actor is showing that he’s more than willing to step into the spotlight with a little more of himself than ever before.
