When asked about pain, and how he used to play emotionally distraught characters, Pitt responded by saying he’s “done playing those.”

“I just got R&B for the first time. R&B comes from great pain, but it’s a celebration. To me, it’s embracing what’s left,” he said.

Prodded further about what he’s been listening to for the pain, he said, “I’ve been listening to a lot of Frank Ocean. I find this young man so special. Talk about getting to the raw truth. He’s painfully honest. He’s very, very special. I can’t find a bad one. And of great irony to me: Marvin Gaye’s Here, My Dear (Gaye’s touchstone album about divorce). And that kind of sent me down a road.”

The road he speaks of is the road to recovery he’s on after going through two therapists to find the right one.
