Inside Brad's Lonely New Life ...But It's George To The Rescue!

As the actor seeks refuge in a sober house, his best mate’s swooping in to pull him out of his rut...

It’s the, er, pits being Brad Pitt right now. Holed up in an LA art studio for up to 15 hours a day, painting, sculpting, smoking and listening to sad ballads, it’s clear the actor’s still struggling to find his feet following his split from Angelina Jolie. 

“He arrives [at the studio] in the morning along with [studio owner UK artist Thomas Houseago] and his assistants, but when everyone else leaves, Brad stays behind,” reveals an insider. “He spends all night working on his art and listening to emotional songs.”

Oh Brad, we love you, but this is breaking out hearts!

But so lonely is he without his house full of kids, Brad’s been basically living at the art studio, while also spending loads of time at a “sober house” up the coast in Santa Barbara, where he’s working to pick up the pieces and prove he’s serious about giving booze and ciggies the flick.

“It’s been a huge lifestyle change,” says a source close to the actor, who even had a Mountain Dew dispenser installed at the property so he can down soft drinks instead of shots!
