Brad Pitt Admits He’s Entering the ‘Final Years’ of His Career

Brad Pitt has been a staple in the movie industry for nearly four decades, starring in iconic films like Interview with the Vampire, Fight Club, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Now at 60 years old, the Oscar-winning actor is moving into a new phase of his career—one that he’s been contemplating for a while.

In 2022, Pitt made headlines when he mentioned he was on his “last leg” or in the “last semester or trimester” of his career. He recently clarified this sentiment in an Aug. 13 interview with GQ.

“I meant that as seasons,” he explained in the interview. “You know, there was moving out from the safety of the Ozarks. You embark on this thing and it’s all about discovery—it’s really exciting and interesting and painful and awful and all of it. And then when you’re allowed into the big leagues, it becomes another game of responsibilities and things to answer to. But also opportunity and delight and working with people you really respect. And then it’s this time now. It’s: What are these last years going to be?”

Pitt elaborated on his thoughts about aging and creativity, adding, “In your 80s, the body becomes more frail. And yet I look at Frank Gehry. He’s just the loveliest man. And he’s 95 and still making great art and he’s got a beautiful family. And I think that’s kind of the formula to stay creative and keep loving your life.”

Pitt stars alongside George Clooney in the upcoming film Wolfs, set for release on Sept. 20.
