Guests at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s NYC wedding were surprised to see Brad Pitt tipping back drinks before he publicly admitted he was no longer sober.
A source told Page Six last month that the “Ocean’s Eleven” actor had been seen imbibing at the star-studded affair at Madison Square Garden on July 3.
The source noted at the time that guests were shocked to see Pitt, who has been vocal about his sobriety, drinking at the high-profile event that brought out Adam Sandler, Paul McCartney, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Tom Cruise and more.
Pitt attended Swift and Kelce’s wedding with girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
In an Esquire interview published Monday, the Oscar winner confirmed he had made the decision to drink again.
“I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon,” Pitt confessed in the interview. “In a more restrained manner. I got overconfident a couple times, went, ‘Yep, nope, not good for me.’ Not in big quantities.”
Pitt explained he “can have a few” glasses of wine, but he “can’t have a lot.”
“I have to be professional about it,” he said.
Pitt first revealed he was sober and joined a 12-step program in a 2019 New York Times interview.
“I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privilege,” he said at the time.
Pitt quit drinking after an alleged 2016 drunken incident on a plane that is said to have contributed to the disintegration of his marriage to Angelina Jolie.
