If Brad Pitt Is Depressed, Then…
…what hope is there for the rest of us? Pitt, nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for “Moneyball,” said he got “really sick” of himself in the 1990s, when he was smoking too much marijuana. “I was hiding out from the celebrity thing, I was smoking way too much dope, I was sitting on the couch and just turning into a doughnut and I really got irritated with myself,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. The dope admission isn’t exactly news. Every time I went to L.A. in the nineties, some show-biz friend would tell me what a pothead Brad was. What is news in the interview is what pulled Brad out of his funk: seeing extreme poverty while on a trip to Casablanca.
