Hopkins asked Pitt about his struggles with alcohol, which was reportedly one of the reasons he got into an alleged brawl with his son, Maddox, aboard a flight, which subsequently prompted Jolie to seek separation.

"I hadn't cried in like, 20 years", he continued. "Just moved", the 55-year-old actor said.

In the chat, Pitt talked about his past struggles, telling Hopkins that he saw alcohol as an "escape". Moved by my kids, moved by my friends, moved by the news.

Now, the father of six children who he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, finds himself becoming more emotional than ever, which means a lot for someone who counted himself a "not-crier".

The Ad Astra star believes "it's a good sign" that he's been able to reconnect with his emotions.

Hopkins, 81, said he cries "at the drop of a hat, because everything moves me".

"I would be exploring it whether there was a script that allowed that or not."
