Brad Pitt once confessed to being suicidal

At the age of 62, reports are rife that Brad Pitt got secretly married to Ines de Ramon. However, there was a time when Brad was shattered to the point that he briefly went through a suicidal phase. 

Brad Pitt once talked about the most difficult phase of his life. He shared that he had a period of suicidal ideation. In an interview, Brad revealed that he was never suicidal in any way, and he always preferred being positive. His ideology of staying optimistic helped him get through grief, as his forever-funny friend, David Fincher, would tell him that he always sees the glass as half full.

But there was a brief period in Brad's life where dark thoughts crept in. He tried to choose his words carefully and stated that there was a time when he couldn't find a way out. The pain had consumed him, and while he wouldn't have acted on it, he felt a relief at the thought of ending his life. He said:

"In that one little period, I just thought—I just couldn’t—just didn’t see a way out. The pain was so oppressive that—I wasn’t going to act on this, but I could feel—I could feel the cold steel of the bullet in my head, and it felt like relief."

Brad lost his mother in August 2025, and at that time he got the bigger perspective. And he thought that suicide was a way of relief. However, his suvival insticts creeped in, and he let the thought go, but it wasn't easy for him to get out of that state. Without sharing what led to his mental health struggles, Brad just admitted that it was due to the family stuff.

It is worth adding that Brad shared his thoughts on mental health at a time when his kids are trying to get rid of his last name. In July 2026, his daughter, Vivienne, filed to drop his name legally. Earlier, Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh filed the petition to officially drop the name earlier this year.
