Brad Pitt credits Gwyneth Paltrow for this personal milestone

Once upon a time in Hollywood…Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow dated

And even though it’s been 25 years since their divorce, the actor recently reminded fans that exes can still be friends.

While promoting his new skin care line, Le Domaine, Pitt gave Paltrow a shout-out during an interview with Vogue. When asked how he felt about star-studded business ventures, Moneyball Alum recalled how at one point “it seemed shameful to do publicity” and that celebrities “were called sold-out”. However, according to him, times have changed.

“I really think hip-hop guys changed everything,” he told the publication in an interview published on September 21. – They made it normal – even cool – to spread their wings a little, try something different. now it’s really exciting that you can explore other corners [of your creativity] like the old Renaissance artists.”

Pitt then expressed his admiration for Paltrow’s handling of her Goop lifestyle brand.

“And I love that Gwyneth [Paltrow]done [with Goop]”, he continued. “She’s still a very dear friend, and she built this empire. She always had that in her as a curator, and it was a wonderful creative outlet for her.”
