When the going gets tough, sometimes you just wanna sit in your room on your own with a bag of pot and smoke yourself senseless and guess what? That’s exactly how Brad Pitt used to feel as well.

In case you missed it, Brad Pitt is having somewhat of a renaissance at the moment earning rave reviews in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Ad Astra and so of course he decided to accompany this with a profile piece in The New York Times where he talks about masculinity, his future career and recently getting sober. He also talked about how he used to feel the need to ‘bong himself into oblivion’ when the pressure was getting too much:

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.

What a great way to put it. Who knew that Brad Pitt was a wordsmith as well as a killer actor hey? Shame he’s not good looking as well. Oh wait – some people just have it all I guess.

For more bongs, check out the timebomb – the most lethal bong ever. Jesus.
