Brad Pitt reveals he was ‘wasting’ his life while married to Jennifer Aniston

Brad Pitt has once again dissed his marriage to Jennifer Aniston, revealing he felt he was “wasting his life” while married to the Friends actress.

In yet another blow to his ex, he makes it clear that before he met Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, his life had little meaning.

The 49-year-old actor, who was married to Jennifer for seven years, revealed how he spent too much time on drugs during his marriage.

In an interview with the new US issue of Esquire magazine, he says: ‘For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter.

“A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years f***ing off.

“But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change.

“This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany.”

The magazine also quotes Jean Black, Brad’s make up artist since 1990, who says Angelina was able to “unleash” the star’s full potential.

Black told the magazine: “I think Brad was ready to soar when he met Angie.

“This is not to say anything negative about Jennifer. I was part of that and I know that he and Jen are very good friends and he cared deeply for her.

“But in Angie he saw a very adventurous person who was grabbing onto life and taking it to it’s nth degree. It was intriguing as I felt Brad had that in him and wanted to unleash it.”
