Brad Pitt: "Devastated" By Deaths of Chris Cornell, Brad Grey
It’s been a rough year for Brad Pitt.
The actor admits that in the wake of his high-profile divorce from Angelina Jolie, he fell into a deep depression, and began self-medicating heavily.
After seeking treatment, Pitt recently revealed that he’s sober and working again but just days after assuring fans that he’s back on his feet, the beloved screen icon was struck by a pair of devastating blows.
Two major figures in the world of entertainment passed away in the past week, and while one was much a more recognized name than the other, both were close friends of Pitt’s, who is reportedly devastated by their loss.
The first was producer Brad Grey, a former business partner of Brad’s, who passed on Monday at he age of 59.
As Pitt was reportedly still reeling from the loss of a man he considered one of his closest friends, he got news that Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell had been found dead in a Detroit hotel room.
Pitt has spoken at length about what a huge fan he is of Cornell’s music:
“I’m a big Chris Cornell addict, anything he does,” Brad told Cinema Confidential magazine when asked about his favorite music.
More importantly, however, Cornell and Pitt were friends.
Their kids attended one another’s birthday parties, and Pitt joined Cornell on stage during a benefit concert in January.
“I get to introduce a very, very good friend of mine and someone I’ve known for quite a while, and I’m a huge fan of, Mr. Chris Cornell,” Pitt told the crowd.
The back-to-back deaths of two of his best friends has reportedly shaken Pitt to his core.
“He is devastated and in shock,” a source tells E! News.
“He is trying to process the loss of two great friends. This has hit him very hard.”
In the case of Grey, Pitt was reportedly one of a select view who was aware of the Paramount mogul’s illness.
The knowledge of his friend’s health issues, reportedly did little to soften the blow for Brad:
“With Brad Grey, Brad Pitt was one of the few people who knew he was sick. Grey was told he had a few weeks to live, but he didn’t even get that long. He was gone way too soon,” says one insider.
Sources say Brad will continue to use therapy and the emotional he gained in rehab to get through this extraordinarily difficult time.

Brad Grey Dies; Famed Producer Was 59
You may not know the name Brad Grey, but if you’re a fan of TV and movies, you’re almost certainly familiar with his work.
Grey passed away Sunday night after 12 years as head of Paramount Studios and several decades in Hollywood at the helm of some of the true classics of the modern era.
He was 59 years old.
News of Grey’s death was confirmed by reps for the mogul.
Sources say he passed away at home surrounded by friends and family after a long battle with cancer.
Despite his illness, Grey stayed on at Paramount until earlier this year, when his condition forced him to step down.
After starting out as a gofer for Harvey Weinstein and concert promoter in Buffalo, NY, Grey made the jump to Hollywood in
Grey made the leap to Hollywood in the early ’80s, partnering with Bernie Brillstein to found the Brillstein-Grey production company.
Together, Brillstein and Grey produced such film hits as The Wedding Singer, and such and TV classics as The Sopranos, The Larry Sanders Show and Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher.
Prior to assuming the role of chairman/CEO at Paramount, Grey partnered with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to form Plan B Productions.
The short-lived company helped to green-light a pair of Warner Bros. hits: Martin Scorsese’s The Departed and Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The list of commercial and critical hits overseen by Grey during his time at Paramount is too lengthy to reproduce here, but highlights include:
How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek the Third, Mission: Impossible III, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, An Inconvenient Truth, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Babel, Shutter Island, Up in the Air, The Fighter, True Grit, and Hugo.
As a studio chief who delivered record profits while maintaining a commitment to artistic integrity, Grey was viewed by many of his colleagues as a refreshing throwback to a bygone Hollywood era, when producers cared about more than just the bottom line.
As a philanthropist and human being, those who knew Grey best say his kindness was unmatched.
He is survived by his wife, Cassandra Huysentruyt, and three children, Sam, Max, and Emily.

50 Shades Of Cristiano Ronaldo! Soccer Star Reportedly Starring In Martin Scorsese"s Film About The Real Life Christian Grey!
This sounds WAY too good to be true!
According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo is making the jump from athlete to movie star — and his acting resume is already accumulating stellar credentials!
The Real Madrid star has reportedly been offered a part in Martin Scorsese‘s new film The Manipulator, based on the life of the elusive millionaire Alessandro Proto!
This Italian real estate mogul is supposedly the real life inspiration for Christian Grey, the titular character in E.L. James‘s 50 Shades Of Grey series!
Video: Dakota Johnson Does Jimmy Fallon’s Accent Challenge!
Rumor has it that Ronaldo’s involvement with the project is due to the fact that he recently bought an apartment located in the Trump Tower, which used to belong to Proto.
And Scorsese is ALL about authenticity in his films, so much so that he allegedly promised the goalscorer screen time in exchange for a filming location!
This may seem more far-fetched than the entire premise of 50 Shades, but we’re okay with suspending our disbelief if it means we can fantasise about the hunky soccer star on the big screen!
What do YOU think?
