Brad Pitt has corrected his recent comments about being on the "last leg" of his acting career, emphasizing that he meant seasons rather than a physical conclusion.
Pitt expanded in a joint interview with George Clooney for GQ, saying, "I meant that as seasons... You know, there was moving out of the safety of the Ozarks." You start this thing, and it's all about discovery, which is wonderful, intriguing, horrible, dreadful, and everything else."
"And then, if you're promoted to the major leagues, it's a whole other set of obligations and accountability. But also opportunity, joy, and working with people you genuinely admire."
The 60-year-old actor went on to describe his current life season, saying, "And then it's this moment now. It's about what these latter years will be like. I consider my parents as extremely... I see exactly what George was describing. In your 80s, your body gets increasingly fragile. And yet, I look at Frank Gehry. He's really the sweetest dude. And at 95, he's still creating excellent paintings and has a lovely family. And I believe that is the key to remaining creative and enjoying your life.
The Moneyball actor-producer previously told GQ in 2022 that, since he is on his "last leg," he is considering what his career's next phase would be.
Clooney went on to explain that they are both "lucky" to be able to prepare for the future and that their business "doesn't force you into retirement."
When questioned about the fear that at a certain age, the phone won't ring with job offers, Clooney said that there are "two ways" actors might handle the situation.
"The phone stops ringing if you decide to keep being the character you were when you were 35, but with a softer lens," the Ticket to Paradise actor remarked.
"But if you're willing to, say, move down the call sheet a little bit and do interesting character work, then you can kind of… you have to make peace with the idea that you're going to die!"
