    You can use construction adhesive and some pressure against it till it dries.

    If you want to fur it out for some reason(ie running wires, or removal/maintenance if damaged in the future) anchor a furring strip or 2x4 to the brick and attaching drywall like normal.

    KBC is on the right track, you can also use 3/4 treated 1x3 and attach to the brick, and attach the sheetrock to that, keep in mind there are setbacks to keep combustable material away from the firebox
