Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are no longer the "Golden Couple of Hollywood," but fans would be shocked to know that the sexiest actor no longer looks like his earlier handsome self. He was recently seen in Los Angeles and looked extremely gaunt and crestfallen. He seems to have shed much weight and it is said that he has been spending fifteen hours in an art studio working on a project.

Brad Pitt, who was often described as the "sexiest man alive," does not look like his older self anymore. According to Mail Online, the 53-year-old-actor was recently spotted arriving at the creative bolthole on Thursday and looked very thin and dejected. He was wearing a black bomber jacket, blue jeans, white t-shirt and suede Chelsea Boots and it was clear that the split from Angelina Jolie and the ensuing legal battle has taken a toll on his health.

Brad Pitt appeared extremely lean and the brooding expression on his face indicated that he was upset. Well, if insiders are to be believed the "Allied" actor has turned reclusive and spends around fifteen hours a day working on an art project in a Los Angeles art studio. He is said to be working under the direction of his friend and artist Thomas Houseago and works till wee hours in the morning.

What is more, he listens to sad songs and his playlist includes tracks by Bon Iver and Waylon Jennings. Sources close to the actor say that art is a way for him to find solace in these tough times. In fact, his art project is said to have started after he was said to be going a little crazy in Santa Barbara. Well, fans just hope that Brad Pitt comes out a better person out of this tragedy.

It is worth mentioning here that Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016.
