Brad Pitt confesses the constant fame turned him into a hermit

Brad Pitt is one of the leading names in all of Hollywood as he enjoys a superstar status that hardly any other A-lister can match up to.

However, it looks like our golden boy is not too happy about the fame and constant attention that comes his way as he admitted in the past to enjoying a life of a ‘hermit’ instead.

During an interview with The New York Times earlier, he revealed why he took a step back from acting and decided to take on production instead.
“Producing just means you don’t have to get up really early and put on makeup. I’m curious to see if movies last, if movies stick around,” he said.
“It’ll be fewer and farther in between for me, just because I have other things I want to do now. When you feel like you’ve finally got your arms around something, then it’s time to go get your arms around something else,” he added.

“In the ’90s, all that attention really threw me. It was really uncomfortable for me, the cacophony of expectations and judgments. I really became a bit of a hermit and just bonged myself into oblivion,” he recalled.

He explained further how he is now shifting his focus entirely on authenticity both in his real and reel life.

“The ultimate place for my style of acting, as I understand it, is to get to a place of just absolute truth,” he said.
