“I got sober because of this guy,” Pitt said about Cooper. “And every day’s been happier ever since,” Pitt continued. E! News further reported that Pitt then gave Cooper a thumbs up sign and gratefully said “I love you, and I thank you.” How sweet is that?!
Pitt has been vocal about his struggles with addiction and how beneficial it was for him to attend AA meetings following his separation from Jolie. In an interview with The New York Times, Pitt explained how he was moved by his AA meeting group’s vulnerability.
“You had all these men sitting around being open and honest in a way I have never heard,” Pitt said during the interview. “It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself.” Pitt further explained how liberating the experience was. “It was actually really freeing just to expose the ugly side of yourself,” he said. “There’s great value in that.”
