Ever since Brangelina fractured into just Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie more than seven months ago, the former has remained a bit of a mystery.

Reports that a much slimmer Pitt has been hiding out in an art studio making sculptures painted a picture that the actor was in the midst of a personal crisis of sorts, as his private life was splashed on every tabloid across the country.

For the first time since his split with Jolie last September , Pitt is opening up about his life post-divorce for GQ Style s Summer issue, with three covers shot by celebrity photographer Ryan McGinley.

I hit the lottery, and I still would waste my time on those hollow pursuits.
