Brad Pitt is no stranger to navigating life’s ups and downs.

The actor made a cryptic comment about his “struggles” during the latest episode of Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.

The 61-year-old actor known for his role in “F1” expressed his admiration for the Kansas City Chiefs, his favorite NFL team. During a conversation, the 35-year-old Travis offered an apology for the team’s defeat in the February Super Bowl.

“We got you this year. I let you down,” the athlete quipped.

Pitt brushed off the apology, noting that hardships are “what make sports movies so special.”

Reflecting on life’s ups and downs, he remarked, “That’s what I mean about life. Life throws struggles your way. Sometimes everything goes quiet, it’s perfection, it’s sublime. Other periods, life throws these struggles at you and it’s how you deal with those and how you come back from those.”

The Oscar winner did not divulge any of his low moments in Wednesday’s episode.

He did, however, speak to his sobriety last week as a guest on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.

In the June interview, Pitt told listeners that he went to AA meetings while “pretty much on [his] knees” and needing to “wake the f–k up.”

The Golden Globe winner recalled, “I was trying anything and everything, anything anyone threw at me. … It was a difficult time.

He further shared, “I needed rebooting,” alluding to his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2016 and the subsequent strained relationships with their six children.

By the time Pitt and Jolie, 50, settled their contentious divorce last year, he had moved on with girlfriend Ines de Ramon.

The jewelry executive, 32, also was not mentioned in the “New Heights” episode — and Travis, 35, admitted that he was too starstruck to “figure out how to ask questions.”

He told Jason, “I was just sitting here like, ‘He’s gonna think I’m stupid.’ [Asking], ‘Remember when you were in fight club? … I loved that part.”

He joked, “I’m a f–king idiot, dude.”
