Incredible shrinking man: Brad Pitt looks thinner than ever in oversized suit as he poses next to Netflix exec at War Machine premiere in NYC

It's been a rough eight months for Brad Pitt, ever since his split from wife Angelina Jolie was announced back in September, and the strain of the break up still continues to seemingly to take a toll on his weight.

The 53-year-old actor looked thinner than ever when he stepped out in New York City on Tuesday for the premiere of his new Netflix movie, War Machine.

Dressed in an ill-fitting black suit, the fabric appeared to swamp Brad's extremely slender frame.

His pants appeared to have been several sizes too big, and were being held up by a black leather belt.

Meanwhile, his jacket looked baggy on his lean physique, with the actor having to roll up the cuffs on his sleeves.

Despite his gaunt appearance though, the Hollywood hunk managed to muster a smile as he greeted fans while out promoting the new movie.

The Allied actor seemed to be in great spirits as he posed for photos alongside the film's cast and introduced the movie before the screening.

And for anyone who may be concerned about his diet after splitting with Angelina, 41, his wife of three years, Brad was seen munching on leftover popcorn as he left the premiere.

The actor admitted the divorce had been difficult for him and his family - including kids Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, eight - during a candid interview with GQ Style magazine earlier this month. 

'I heard one lawyer say, "No one wins in court - it's just a matter of who gets hurt worse,"' he confessed. 'And it seems to be true, you spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point and why you're right and why they're wrong, and it's just an investment in vitriolic hatred. I just refuse.'

Rough times: 'It's just very, very jarring for the kids, to suddenly have their family ripped apart,' he told GQ of his divorce

'Fortunately my partner in this agrees. It's just very, very jarring for the kids, to suddenly have their family ripped apart.' 

War Machine is a comedy which follows an overly confident army general, played by Brad, who charges into Afghanistan on a mission to win the war, as a journalist threatens to take him down.

The film screens on Netflix from May 26.
