Instead of taking up a familiar sport like golf or practising a therapeutic exercise such as yoga – like most of his Hollywood chums – the ‘Fury’ star has been spotted heading into an art studio in Los Angeles and spending up to 15 hours a day there sculpting.

Brad is being tutored by his friend and British artist Thomas Houseago and reportedly spends the long hours practicing his art and “listening to emotional songs” to distract his mind from his personal troubles.

“He spends all night working on his art and listening to emotional songs. Everybody knows it’s related to what’s going on with him personally, but nobody says anything.

“He’s a quiet guy, and very humble. He’s learning at a fast pace. Art is a way for him to concentrate on one thing, taking his mind off everything else. He’d rather do that and be constructive than go out partying,” a source told the DailyMail.com.

The publication reports Brad’s soundtrack features songs by indie singer Bon Iver (good choice) and includes the heart-breaking track Just To Satisfy You by Waylon Jennings.

Last week, Angelina was in London to deliver her first lecture at LSE university and before that, she took the couple’s children – including Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – to Cambodia and was filmed cooking and eating crickets and tarantulas with her brood.

However, Brad is said to be “spending more time” with the kids following their messy divorce and is said to be missing them terribly and is willing to do anything to keep the “peace” and see them more.

A source shared: “He seems to have a more positive outlook. Things seem much better now … He can spend more time with them … He seems much happier. He has missed his kids terribly. The kids are his whole world. It’s all he cares about.

“Brad is willing to work with Angie so they can have peace for the kids. What it ultimately comes down to is that he just wants to be with the kids.”

It comes after Angelina filed for divorce from Brad citing conflict over their children, but the couple later agreed to resolve their divorce and custody dispute in private.

They said in a joint statement at the time: “The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues. The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.”
