Brad Pitt has finally broken his silence on his ugly eight-year Angelina Jolie divorce battle that ended in December after she filed in 2016.

The Oscar-winning actor was not venting, however, as he seemed to try to downplay the legal boxing match that made headlines for almost a decade.

His comments were made in the June issue of GQ magazine as he promoted his new F1 movie. 

The 61-year-old said finally seeing the end of their battle was not ‘major.’

‘No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing,’ Pitt said. ‘Just something coming to fruition. Legally.’

Pitt had a scruffy look for his GQ cover

The actors, who share six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, Knox, 16, and Vivienne, also 16 — married in 2014. 

Pitt did acknowledge how his love life is ‘always in the news.’

‘It’s been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let’s put it that way,’ he told GQ.   

Pitt was interviewed for his new racing movie F1 which comes out June 27.

When the GQ writer asked if making the film was ‘a refuge from all the attention’ he said, ‘Um, I don’t see it that way.’

‘It’s been an annoyance I’ve had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do,’ he said of fame.

‘So, it’s always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don’t know. I don’t know. 

‘Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained. 

‘It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it’s like this fly buzzing around a little bit.’

F1 releases in theaters June 27.
