In an interview to US magazine Parade Pitt said that he pretended to make his marriage to Aniston "something that it wasn't".
The 47-year-old actor, who was married to Aniston for five years, said in the interview that his life before his relationship with current partner, Angelina Jolie, was "pathetic" because he spent a lot of time smoking marijuana and hiding.
"I think that my marriage (to Aniston) had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn't.

I spent the '90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic.

It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself," said the actor adding that marrying Jolie was one of the "smartest" things he ever did.
However, in just a few hours after the social media uproar Brad came out issuing an an apology over his Parade quotes. In the new statement he praises Aniston saying that she was 'giving, loving, and hilarious'.
