in an interview with Financial Times The 58-year-old actor, published this Wednesday, October 12, returned to his new hobby and, above all, to the fact that he was able to rely on his two friends during his separation from Angelina Jolie. He says about his complicity with Thomas Hausago. “Our mutual misery has become comical. And from this misery, a flame of joy was born in my life. I always wanted to be a sculptor. I’ve always wanted to try it.”

The meeting of the two men began in 2016, during a New Year’s party. Brad Pitt just broke up with Angelina Jolie. Thomas Hausago has fragile mental health. Their vulnerability brings them together, and the two artists spend a lot of time together afterwards. It was during this same period that Brad Pitt introduced the British sculptor to his friend, Nick Cave, who was also going through a difficult period. A year ago, he lost his fifteen-year-old son, Arthur, who accidentally fell off a cliff in Brighton after taking LSD. A tragedy that has recently been repeated. On May 9, 2022, Nick Cave announced that he had lost his other son, Jethro, refraining from revealing the cause of death.
