Pitt revealed he has an optimistic attitude toward life lately despite his personal and legal woes.

Pitt, 60, opened up about his friendship with Clooney, 63, in a recent interview for GQ.

As he took in the grounds of Château Miraval, the French winery where he and Jolie got married – and has since been at the center of their bitter court battle – he appeared optimistic despite his legal woes.

The 60-year-old said: "I really enjoy the people that I love around me and just living."

He continued: "I don't know how to not sound cheesy about it, but just the air is fresh and the grass is green and I've just kind of become that guy a little bit."

Pitt's outlook was surprising considering the ongoing drama since his split with Jolie. He's faced allegations of physical abuse from his ex-wife – which he denied – and four of his six children he shares with Jolie have dropped his last name, indicating their relationship with him is less than ideal.

Son Pax went as far as branding him a "world class a--hole" in an unearthed Instagram post.

Through it all, the Fight Club star has maintained a 20-year friendship with Clooney.

The 63-year-old said: "We've been friends for a long time. And it's fun because we also check in on each other every once in a while, which is an important part of this.

"Things get complicated in life and you always have to make sure everybody's OK."

While Clooney, who's married to human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, was referring to navigating the pressures of Hollywood, his statement could be applied to Pitt's personal fallout.

Their intimate banter during the chat made it clear they care for each other beyond their on-screen achievements.

Pitt added: "I'll call George on numerous occasions when things get bumpy. That's why there's a real comfort. I know he's got my back, I got his back."
