Brad Pitt opens up on 'gay experience’. In a wide-ranging interview with fellow actor Dax Shepard, on his Armchair Expert podcast, the F1 star explained he believes he "missed the window" to be with a man. ”You know, I've never had a gay experience. I kind of missed that window.” Brad 61, who is currently dating Ines de Ramon, 32, jokingly added that Dax would not be his first choice for a same-sex partner. ”But if I did, it wouldn't be you”. Elsewhere in the interview, Brad reflected on growing up in 1980s Missouri, explaining the messaging and comments he received about masculinity were strongly homophobic. ”Don't cry, don't be gay, you fag, that kind of stuff," he explained. "It was that era”. The two men also discussed their friendship, which grew out of a chance meeting at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Los Angeles. ”I was really open to- I was trying anything and everything anyone threw at me," Brad recalled of his decision to enter into treatment for substance abuse adding he was "pretty much on my knees" and had realised he needed to "wake the f**k up in some areas”. ”It was a difficult time," Brad added. "I needed rebooting”.
