Brad Pitt has been appearing in movies for nearly four decades and starred in iconic films like Interview with the Vampire, Fight Club, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. At 60 years old, the Oscar-winning actor is moving into a new phase of his career—one that he’s been anticipating for some time.

Pitt made headlines back in 2022 for saying he was on his “last leg” or “last semester or trimester” of his career. In an Aug. 13 with GQ, Pitt clarified the sentiment behind that statement.

“I meant that as seasons,” he explained. “You know, there was moving out from the safety of the Ozarks. You embark on this thing and it’s all about discovery and 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?”

“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,” he added.

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