Brad's 'soul-searching' holiday
As he adjusts to life post-Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt has used his recent European vacation to do some "soul-searching".
After being spotted enjoying the sights and sounds at Glastonbury last weekend, Brad took off on a whirlwind trip around Europe, soaking in the ancient cities to gain a new perspective on life as a single man.
"Brad used his European vacation to do some serious soul searching and to try to find some meaning in his post-Ange life," an insider told HollywoodLife.com.
Since splitting with the 42-year-old actress, Brad has been embracing his inner-artist and working closely with friend Thomas Houseago, with the outlet adding the pair met up in Paris and found new artistic inspiration.
"He spent time with his friend artist Thomas Houseago who he met up with in Paris and whom he also shares studio space with in LA. The pair spent time together in the city of lights, soaking in the inspiration and chatting about life and art."
And it isn't just Thomas who is helping Brad adjust to this new phase in life, with HollywoodLife.com adding good pal Bradley Cooper dropped in on the War Machine star and has been "instrumental" in supporting Brad as he embarks on a new sober life.
