• Brad Pitt lauded his ex-fiancee, Gwyneth Paltrow
• Admitted that it was her who motivated him to start his own skincare company.

Brad Pitt lauded his ex-fiancee Gwyneth Paltrow and admitted that it was her who motivated him to start his own skincare company.

During an interview with British Vogue, the Bullet Train actor was asked about his thoughts on celebrity-backed businesses. He recalled how at one point it “seemed disgusting to do a commercial.”

The Hollywood heartthrob remarked that although it used to be “considered a sell-out” for celebrities to start their own businesses, times have changed.

“I really think the hip-hop guys changed all of that. They made it okay—even cool—to spread your wings a bit, to try some other things,” Pitt said.

He added, “And now it’s really exciting that you can, you know, explore other corners [of your creativity] like the old Renaissance artists in a way.”

Pitt went on to gush over the Iron Man actor as he threw praises on her for running her own lifestyle brand Goop so successfully.

“I love what Gwyneth’s done,” the actor said. “She is still a really dear friend, and she has built this empire.”

“She has always had that in her as a curator, and it’s been a lovely creative outlet for her,” Pitt shared while crediting her for helping him with his genderless skincare brand, Le Domaine.

“In fact, come to think about it, she was probably the first one who got me to even wash my face twice a day… maybe,” Pitt added.
