The News Of …

Ace Hollywood actor Brad Pitt talked about his previous marriage with Jennifer Aniston, and his current partner Angelina Jolie, in an interview with the Parade magazine.
Brad Pitt called his life before meeting Angelina Jolie pathetic, owing to the fact that he spent a lot of time smoking drugs and hiding! Brad said – “I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic.”
The 47-year-old actor added – “I think my marriage (with Aniston) had something to do with it: trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
After discussing his previous relationship, Brad also revealed how happy he is with his current partner, Angelina Jolie – “One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie (Jolie) as their mum. She is such a great mum. Oh man, I’m so happy to have her.”
Brad added – “With a partner like Angie, I know that when I’m working, the kids are happy, safe and prospering. And when Angie’s working, she knows she has the same.”
Well, one thing is for sure; this interview is as candid as it gets!

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.

Things had been going really well for Brad Pitt this fall, with glamorous film festival appearances, Oscar buzz and even some real-life heroics in Scotland. So, leave it to that never-ending thorn in his side – his former marriage to Jennifer Aniston – to complicate things.
Appearing on the cover of the upcoming Parade Magazine, he seems less than positive about his ex-wife in a number of quotes made available ahead of time from the article.
“I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out” – he tells the magazine. “It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
Before the magazine even hits newsstands, Pitt has released a statement to try to pre-empt the controversy, saying that he was taken out of context, and that his career was truly the issue.
“It grieves me that this was interpreted this way” – he says. “Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself – and that, I am responsible for.”
Pitt discussed his past unhappiness with Entertainment Weekly in their latest cover story, too, though he was speaking about his career with that magazine.
“I am miserable. Six months in the f*cking dark. Contact lenses, makeup, I’m playing the bitch role…” he said about the “Interview with a Vampire” shoot. “One day, it broke me… I called David Geffen, who was a producer… I said, ‘David, I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do it. How much will it take to get me out?’ And he goes, very calmly, ‘Forty million dollars.’”

“I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic” – said Pitt on an interview with a magazine. “I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it” – He added. “Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
Those words coming out straight from Brad’s mouth made it controversial and indeed made people think of other reasons why couples turned their backs to their married life. After all, Divorce is something that happens to most couples. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston aren’t only the perfect couple who put an end to their married life.
Top Ten Reasons Why Happily Married Couples Opted To Go Solo
1 – Abuse.
Emotional, physical, and sexual abuses are among the reasons why most marriage ends. However, it doesn’t mean that only men can do harm and women are the victims. In some cases, it can happen the other way around. Whatever the reason may be, abuse can not only lead to divorce but the abusers can also be end up in jail.
2 – Infidelity.
Infidelity is the most common cause of divorce all over the world. In fact, surveys have shown that some married men or women even commit adultery because of a failed marriage. Some reasons of infidelity include sexual boredom, resentment or anger, and many more. Regardless if it is an affair or just a one night stand, most cases of unfaithfulness end up in divorce.
3 – Financial Issues.
At times, money can be the cause of arguments that lead to divorce. There are different types of financial issues that a married couple can encounter. For instance, the wife may be earning more than her husband causing him to hurt his ego. It can also be a fight over properties or lack of capabilities to meet the family’s financial needs.
4 – Communication Problems.
Even if the couple is living inside the same house, that doesn’t mean that they are happy and have a good communication. Neglect is also an issue that commonly leads to marital separation. When the issues aren’t addressed properly, misunderstanding can happen.
5 – Incompatibility.
Love can’t conquer the world alone. Compatibility is also needed. However, the main issue is that people do not see those differences until they get married. Therefore, most couples end up realizing that they’re not meant for each other.
6 – Child Rearing.
Couples may have different ways of raising their children. And most of the time, differences in disciplining their child can be a problem for married couples. This may eventually lead to divorce especially if there are also other causes.
7 – Sexual Differences.
Married couple can also have sexual problems like inability to bear a child, inability to provide sexual fulfillment and many more. To some couples, sexual issues are essential for marriage to work and are important enough to give up everything they have.
8 – Drug Addiction.
A happy family can be ruined by drug addiction and other vices like alcohol and any types of gambling. Drug addiction is also the leading cause of physical abuse worldwide.
9 – Different Priorities.
Business can also damage marital relationships. When either the man or the woman is too busy to work, the other might feel that he or she is neglected. Aside from work, there are also other issues that are related with this problem such as going out with friends, shopping, and many more.
10 – Boredom.
Boredom can also be a cause of marital separation. Just like Brad Pitt, other men and women also experience boredom or can feel something that they don’t really like. After months and years of being together, couples may grow distant, disinterested, and can be bored with each other. This may lead to a realization that they’re not just meant to be together.
