You wouldn’t necessarily assume Hollywood star Brad Pitt and rocker, poet and all-’round ‘odd bean’ Nick Cave would be friends, but here we are.
Pitt, 58, has revealed the quirky way the Aussie musician and British artist Thomas Houseago got him through his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2017, admitting they were all in a state of “misery” at the time.
“Our mutual misery became comic,” Pitt said in an interview with The Financial Times
“And out of this misery came a flame of joy in my life. I always wanted to be a sculptor, I’d always wanted to try it.”

Last month, Pitt debuted a number of sculptures he worked on himself, and a few in collaboration with Cave and Houseago, at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere, Finland. They will be exhibited until January 15, 2023.
Per Architectural Digest, two of Pitt’s displayed works include two house-shaped sculptures – one made of silicon, is studded with bullets, while the other, called “House A Go Go”, is made up of tree bark and tape.
The “House A Go Go” sculpture is reportedly the first sculpture that he ever completed back in 2017.
In his interview with The Financial Times, the Bullet Train star got philosophical about what his work means to him.

“I was looking at my own life and really concentrating on owning my own s–t,” he said. “Where was I complicit in failures in my relationships, where have I misstepped.
“For me, it was born out of ownership of what I call a radical inventory of self, getting really brutally honest with me, and taking account of those I may have hurt.”
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016 after 12 years of marriage. The pair are currently in an ongoing legal battle over the French winery, Château Miraval, which they purchased together in 2008.
Amid the legal dispute, Jolie has also filed shocking allegations of physical abuse against Pitt, claiming he abused her and their children during a private flight they took in 2016. Pitt has denied the allegations.
In 2017, Pitt gushed about his “obsession” with sculpture to GQ.
The actor revealed that he had logged many hours at Houseago’s art studio experimenting.
“I’m making everything. I’m working with clay, plaster, rebar, wood. Just trying to learn the materials,” he said.
“I find vernacular in what you can make, rather than giving a speech. I find voice there, that I need.”
