Brad Pitt has opened up about experiencing suicidal thoughts during a period of intense emotional pain, saying he came to understand suicide as an attempt to find relief, as four of his six children have taken legal steps to remove his famous surname.
The 62-year-old actor discussed the difficult period in a new Esquire interview published on 10 August, saying he experienced suicidal thoughts while dealing with what he described only as 'family stuff.' Pitt said he never intended to act on those thoughts and credited his survival instinct and optimism with helping him through the crisis.
