Brad Pitt claims that he never had a drink problem, he had an Angelina problem

A source tells Daily Mail, "Pitt never had a drink problem, he had an Angelina problem. He's worked hard on himself and he's now, finally, in a really good place."

"Brad lost his way for a period in his life and he struggled but he did the work and came through".

"The divorce from Angelina was bad but the alienation from his children was the worst thing that ever happened to him. Now he's gone from pain and hurt to acceptance".

Another source said, "Brad's fundamentally a mid-western boy at heart. He's a good guy. He is very close to his family and is still friends with people he met right at the start of his career. But after he married Angie (in 2014) his life spiraled down a rabbit hole. They were happy for a while but when things went bad they went very, very bad."

Angelina Jolie is grateful to have met Salma Hayek at a later stage in her life

During an interview with People, Angelina Jolie tells that she is grateful to have met Salma Hayek at a later stage in her life.

She shared, "I think it’s so nice we met at this later stage in our life. Because we’ve been through so many similar things, experienced different things, and somehow have landed as older women in a very similar place."

Hayek then responded, "Even though I’m much older than her, by the way".

Jolie laughed, "Not that much older!. To appreciate that friendship and that bond and that understanding — I haven’t had that kind of a connection in my life."

Hayek agrees with her, "It’s hard to find that connection. And I think that’s what part of the movie is also about, how difficult it is to communicate, to connect."

"I penned the screenplay just to kind of sit with it, be with it and never really thought the film would get made. I didn’t do it to ever share it."

Reasons Angelina Jolie remained silent about her divorce from Brad Pitt

Reasons Angelina Jolie remained silent about her divorce from Brad Pitt. 

Source told People, "There has never been any real understanding of what happened that caused her to file for divorce, or the years that followed".

"For a decade she has kept silent, so not to disparage the father of her children. She has kept a dignified silence even while she was being attacked with misinformation."

"If people knew the whole truth, they would have more sympathy for the children and respect them. The fact they aren’t speaking ill or sharing things publicly only shows their decency."

Salma Hayek felt so free as an actress under Angelina Jolie's direction

Angelina Jolie interviewed Salma Hayek for The Cut magazine, where Salma shared that she felt “so free” as an actress working under Jolie’s direction.

Salma shared, "I don’t think I could have done it with anyone else. I’ve never felt so free in my life as an actress. You gave me everything I ever needed. I was spoiled by the process. My co-star, Demián Bichir, felt the same way. This was also the first time that I was given the choice of the actor I played opposite — the first time I was involved or consulted or asked about it. And I didn’t even ask for it."

Jolie responded, "That’s crazy considering your career and your life. Also, it’s not about having the power to be consulted; it’s that when things are so intimate, it’s really important that the actors have at least a say as to why they might connect to someone else."
