Brad Pitt opens up about suicidal thoughts amid family troubles

Brad Pitt is a very famous movie actor.

He used to be married to another famous actor named Angelina Jolie, but they are no longer together.

After their breakup, Brad went through a very sad and difficult time.

He talked about this in an interview with a magazine called Esquire.

During that hard time, he felt so much emotional pain that he could understand why some people might want to give up and stop hurting.

But Brad also said he was never actually going to hurt himself.

He says being a very positive person is part of who he is, and he calls himself a 'congenital optimist.'

That optimism has helped him many times in his life, even though it sometimes gets him into trouble.

Now he is speaking openly about his feelings.
