Brad Pitt has opened up about making mistakes in his life following the recent finalization of his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
Speaking during an interview at the premiere of his adrenaline-fueled car action film, the Hollywood star admitted that he has also learned to quickly move on, no matter the mistake.
Brad Pitt had previously shared that he was relieved about finalizing his divorce, although he also noted at the time that it wasn't much of a big deal.
During the premiere of his "F1" movie in Mexico City, Brad Pitt shared a thoughtful message about the importance of learning from one's mistakes.
"No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from [it] and move on," the actor told Entertainment Tonight. "It'll lead to the next success."
Pitt had issued the response after he was asked about what had helped him "feel grounded" amid the challenges and achievements in his life.
And while he gave no details about some of the mistakes he has made in his own life, the actor hinted that family was also part of what has helped him navigate these moments.
"At my age, I see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back," the 61-year-old shared further. "Friends, family, and that's it. From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation."
The inspiring remarks from Pitt came after he broke his silence about finalizing his divorce from Jolie during a chat with GQ Magazine.
The two had been feuding in court over their separation for the last decade, with the actor seemingly feeling "relief" now that it is all over.
However, despite how long the battle dragged on and the legal costs he likely incurred, Pitt said the finalization wasn't a huge deal to him, just something that was bound to happen eventually.
"No, I don't think it was that major of a thing," the father of six told the outlet. "Just something coming to fruition. Legally."
As the superstar he is, whose two attempts at marriage were to two high-profile actresses, Pitt's personal life has long been a fixture in the headlines.
Navigating this part of the spotlight media has been a constant "annoyance" to him, and he has made a conscious effort to keep it from consuming him.
"It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way," the "Bullet Train" star said elsewhere in his interview with GQ. "It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do."
"So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know," Pitt added.
Despite it all, the actor thinks his life is "fairly contained," and he "feels pretty warm and secure" with his friends and family as well as his "knowledge" of himself.
Following his split from Jolie, Pitt found new love with jewelry executive Ines de Ramon, who was previously married to actor Paul Wesley.
The pair began dating in 2022, three years after Pitt's legal separation from Jolie. For a while, they kept their romance under wraps, but later took it public by attending high-profile events together. Since then, their love has continued to blossom, with the duo even recently moving in.
Jolie, on the other hand, has seemingly steered clear of romance since her split from Pitt.
A source who spoke with Radar Online claimed the trauma from the divorce has left her with trust issues, even though she has moved on from Pitt.
Echoing the same sentiments, another insider shared that the actress keeps all of her suitors "at a distance because she's terrified of getting hurt again the way she did with Brad."
Jolie initially filed for divorce on September 19, 2016. However, while she and Pitt were declared single in 2019, their legal disputes over custody, assets, and their French estate, Château Miraval, dragged on for years.
After intense negotiations, the actors officially signed their divorce papers in December 2024, marking the end of an eight-year battle.
A source close to the actor revealed to Page Six in December that de Ramon may have played a role in Pitt's decision to settle his divorce.
"He was influenced by Ines to finally settle," the source said. "Ines wants to have a life together — with possibly children in the future — without the albatross that was the eight-year War of the Roses."
They added, "She has made [it known that] her opinion is that life would be much more enjoyable with this settled."
