That fateful flight from France to Hollywood was a wake-up call to Brad Pitt. He eliminated all the emotional crutches he’d previously relied on to bury his emotions. And he leaned on his fellow A-list pal Bradley Cooper for help.
Cooper and Pitt’s friendship spans way back. They’ve been spotted together several times, including chilling in London in 2015 when Pitt watched his buddy perform in “The Elephant Man,” per Just Jared. Cooper told the “Smartless” podcast that he’d leaned on Will Arnett for support when he got sober. So, it was a no-brainer to pay it forward and help Pitt in his time of need. Still, when you’re one of the most famous men in the world, it’s hard to get around the Anonymous part of AA. However, Pitt finally found a group free from prying eyes and tabloid sources. “I had a really cool men’s group here that was really private and selective, so it was safe,” Pitt told GQ. “Because I’d seen things of other people who had been recorded while they were spilling their guts, and that’s just atrocious to me.”
Pitt thanked his “Hangover” buddy for being there in his time of need during his National Board of Review acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” in 2020. “I got sober because of this guy, and every day has been happier ever since,” Pitt said to Cooper. “I love you, and I thank you.”
