Brad Pitt has credited fellow actor, Bradley Cooper for helping with his journey to sobriety.
Pitt acknowledged Cooper’s influence on his journey during an acceptance speech.
And people are loving it. Scroll on to find out what he said…
Now, we all know Brad Pitt is an extraordinary actor…
But, that’s not all he’s known for as the actor is also known famously for being married to Angelina Jolie.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were a Hollywood dream team.
Brad and Angelina famously met while filming Mr and Mrs Smith. They quickly hit it off and, despite the fact that Brad was still married, they couldn’t fight their feelings.
The pair quickly became the power couple.
Many commented that Jen and Angelina couldn’t really look (or be) any more different – which fueled a lot of drama at the time.
They were loved for their adorable family, too.
Because they quickly amassed a huge brood of children, some through adoption and some through birth.
Angelina adopted Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt from Cambodia in 2002 when he was just 7 months old.
And she then adopted Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt in 2005 in Ethiopia. Her mother had become sick from salmonella, and subsequently, left her.
Some suspect that the relationship between Angelina and Brad may have been a little strained at the time, hence bringing children into their lives.
But, this didn’t stop them welcoming Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, their first biological child, into the world in 2006.
Their first biological child garnered a lot of press coverage when she was born.
The pair were already parents to adopted children Maddox and Zahara when news surrounding Angelina’s pregnancy shook the world.
It was so intense for the couple that they traveled to Namibia specifically for the baby’s birth.
After their daughter was born, the first photos of the baby sold for millions of dollars, which Brad and Angelina then gave to charity.
Everyone was excited to see what Shiloh would grow up to look like, having such stunning parents.
And the public believed that another star was born.
But, Angelina didn’t stop there when it came to growing her heard.
In 2007, the couple adopted Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, from Vietnam, when he was just 3 years old.
And then, to complete the herd, Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, were welcomed into the world in 2008.
But, problems continued to rise for the couple.
And though not all details have been released to the public… It’s clear that there are a lot of ill-feelings between the pair.
Some even believed that the kids were part of the couple’s issues.
Many thought that Brad never wanted to be a father to such a large brood, but went along with it because of his love for Angelina.
And it seemed like the kids were stuck in the middle.
Although they remained pretty tight-lipped about the goings-on in the divorce.
Divorce is never easy on the kids.
But Brad and Angelina are trying their best to co-parent.
And in spite of some dramas, the family seemed to be working through it.
And have fully supported their kids throughout it all.
Angelina and Brad also share 3 biological children.
Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox.
Since their divorce, the pair have tried to remain as civil as possible.
And each has gone on to work on many different movies.
Angelina has recently appeared in Marvel’s Eternals, as the immortal alien being, Thena.
While Brad’s latest venture has only just hit theatres.
He has been working on the new movie Bullet Train, alongside fellow actors; Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Zazie Beetz, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
The movie is centered around 5 assassins, who are all aboard a train to complete separate missions, however, it turns out they’re all connected one way or another.
Sony’s synopsis reads: “In Bullet Train, Brad Pitt stars as Ladybug, an unlucky assassin determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails.
“Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug’s latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe – all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives – on the world’s fastest train.
“The end of the line is just the beginning in this non-stop thrill-ride through modern-day Japan from David Leitch, the director of Deadpool 2.”
Brad made an appearance at the premiere wearing a skirt.
In doing so, he revealed his leg tattoos.
The tattoos that could be seen on his shins were of a rhino and a human skull.
Little is known about the meaning behind them, but they look good nonetheless.
He recently responded to comments asking why he chose to wear a skirt…
When questioned on the red carpet, he had the best response.
But now, the FBI has revealed some records which could change the actor’s destiny for good…
You do not want to miss this.
It all started when his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, accused the actor of frightening the couple’s 6 children during a plane journey…
The Oscar-winning actress mentioned their children were 8 to fifteen at the time.
According to the paperwork from the case, when 1 of their kids called Pitt a “pr*ck,” he allegedly bolted up as if he was about to attack the minor.
It was at that point when Jolie “jumped in” to grab Pitt round his neck with her arms, “like in a choke hold.”
This, however, is Jolie’s take on the events.
The actress then went on and told the investigators that Pitt purportedly threw himself back, pushing Jolie into the seats behind them, causing injury to her back and elbow.
But that’s not all…
Pitt allegedly consumed multiple beverages of alcohol during the fight…
And according to the highly redacted paperwork, he “poured beer on [Jolie] and the blanket she was under.”
When the plane finally landed, there was already $25,000 worth of damage done from the spilled red wine, as per Jolie’s side of the story.
She then went on and said Pitt’s alleged behavior “didn’t feel real” and left her feeling “scared” and “like a hostage.”
Moreover, a source close to Pitt previously revealed that the actor also engaged in a verbal argument with his oldest son Maddox during the jet ride.
“He certainly could have behaved better, but there was no physical abuse [of the teen],” the source concluded.
And the tale doesn’t end here as further reports revealed a little twisted version of Jolie’s side of the story…
Pitt “grabbed her by her head, shook her, pushed her into the bathroom wall and repeatedly punched the ceiling of the plane during an initial outburst about 90 minutes,” as per reports in Rolling Stone.
The private jet flight departed France and made a pitstop in Minnesota before eventually landing in Los Angeles on Sept. 14, 2016.
Jolie also claimed Pitt pushed her again when she suggested taking the couple’s children to a hotel to get some much-needed sleep after landing.
“You’re not taking my f****** kids,” Pitt allegedly yelled in response.
While the actress detailed her injuries to the FBI investigators, which included a rug-burn type wound on her right hand, it was the scratch on Pitt’s hand that got the investigators itching their heads.
Jolie told them it could have been from her.
According to reports by Rolling Stone, Jolie was personally conflicted on whether or not to be supportive of the charges…
The FBI then released a statement.
“After reviewing the document, representative(s) of the United States Attorney’s Office discussed the merits of this investigation with the case agent. It was agreed by all parties that criminal charges, in this case, would not be pursued due to several factors,” the FBI case agent wrote in a report in November 2016.
However, in December 2016 the actress’ lawyer expressed in a call with investigators, weeks after prosecutors made their initial decision to decline charges.
And rumors of their divorce were already circulating…
Jolie then filed for divorce within days of the jet confrontation.
The actress was later declared legally single, but their custody arrangement still remained in dispute.
While the FBI files obtained by Rolling Stone were the results of a FOIA request…
The actress’ next move was quick as she sued the Justice Department as a Jane Doe plaintiff in March.
The FBI later shed light on why Pitt wasn’t charged in the jet incident…
Dramatic new details have shown investigative records which included an interview summary of her side of the story.
Now because both actors had apparent injuries…
It became a complicated matter for the investigators to come to a decision, and therefore the FBI came to a conclusion when they released a statement on the matter.
“In response to allegations made following a flight within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States which landed in Los Angeles carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation.
“No charges have been filed in this matter,” said Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles.
Since the report came out, new shocking information about what Pitt called their kids during the infamous plane fight has been revealed.
According to the FBI, Jolie shared that Pitt said one of their kids “looked like a f**king Columbine kid.”
His comments seemed to reference the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, which saw Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murder twelve students and a teacher.
He also allegedly said she was “ruining the family.”
Pitt still denies all of Jolie’s claims against him.
And now, sources suggest the same…
A source close to Pitt has spoken out against his ex-wife…
And things are getting pretty nasty now!
According to The Independent, a source close to the actor blamed Jolie’s team for leaking the private documents.
“Both parties have had this information for nearly six years.”
“So to file an anonymous FOIA request for information you already have, and that’s been used in previous legal proceedings,” said the source.
The source further revealed that the leaking of the documents “serves no purpose other than to inflict pain.”
Pictures of Jolie’s injuries from the fight with Pitt in the jet incident have since been revealed.
Jolie said she suffered multiple injuries over her body.
She claimed that as a result of her fight, she sustained injuries on her back and elbow as well as a “rug-burn type wound on her hand.”
Black and white images that were part of the FBI report show the injuries sustained on Jolie’s hand.
You can see the images here.
Despite these claims, it has been reported that Pitt believes Jolie wants to get back at him by “inflicting the most pain” on him.
A source alleged to PEOPLE that Jolie supposedly had access to the FBI documents for years before the filing…
“What are the motivations of a person to take up court time and public resources in filing an anonymous FOIA request for material they have had for years?” they claimed.
“There’s only one: to inflict the most amount of pain on her ex. There is no benefit to this. It is harmful to the children and the entire family for this to be made public,” the source said.
They also noted that the incident was investigated at the time and no charges were made.
In addition, another source told a very similar story to Radar Online…
“At this point, it would be lovely to say Brad had made peace with the fact that the harassment from his ex will never end, but the truth is he lives in fear of what she is going to do next,” they said.
The source further stated that Jolie is spreading false claims about what happened in the jet that day to make Pitt look like the villain.
“Angelina seems to be obsessed with destroying him. Whenever there is a new negative story in the press, Brad knows who is behind it,” they said.
An insider spoke positively of Pitt, and said: “The only thing Brad can do is rise above it and live his life. Could he fight back, after all, he knows everything about her, yes, but that’s not who he is.”
It clear that things have been very difficult between Pitt and Jolie over the past few years.
But, it appears that Pitt’s had a good friend to lean on during that time…
Pitt has spoken openly about the encouragement that Cooper offered while helping Pitt to become sober.
Pitt acknowledged Cooper’s influence during an acceptance speech at the National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala back in 2020.
Accepting the award for Best Supporting Actor, Pitt took to the stage where he mentioned Cooper in his speech.
According to Harpers Bazaar, Pitt said: “Thank you, Bradley. Bradley just put his daughter to bed and then rushed over to do this.”
“I got sober because of this guy, and every day’s been happier ever since,” Pitt continued in his speech.
“I love you, and I thank you.”
What a great friend Bradley Cooper is!
