Brad Pitt is reportedly experiencing a midlife crisis, driven by a desire to maintain a cool and relevant public image. Following a conversation with GQ, where the reporter praised his “really cool outfits” and Pitt responded with, “you gotta have fun,” insiders have revealed that the F1 actor is currently “devastated.”
Speaking about Pitt’s strained relationship with his six children from his previous marriage to Angelina Jolie, a source disclosed to RadarOnline, “It’s widely known how devastated Brad is to be estranged from his kids right now, and there’s considerable pressure on him for this movie to succeed.” The source added, “Many people believe he’s simply doing everything he can to appear cool and relevant.”
As the actor has recently garnered attention for his stylish public appearances, the tipster remarked, “Brad feels younger and more hip wearing these things.” However, regarding his fashion choices, they added, “To a lot of people, though, this smacks of a midlife crisis, like he’s trying to overcompensate, and he’s making himself look pretty lame in the process.”
Notably, Pitt also commented on his closely shorn hair, stating it was for a role he played. Yet, the source countered, “Brad is obsessed with keeping his hair in its best possible condition. His hair was put through the wringer and he wanted a fresh start.” It’s also worth mentioning that the source indicated while Brad Pitt is distant from Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, and Pax, he has a “last real chance to rebuild a connection” with his minor children: the 16-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox.
