Brad Pitt will turn 59 in December. One step away from becoming a 60-year-old, the actor can pride himself on continuing to maintain that Hollywood star status that always wins audiences, no matter what he does. His age reflects a long career with historical roles such as ‘Twelve Monkeys’, ‘Seven,’ Troy ‘,’ Inglourious Basterds ‘,’ Fight Club ‘,’ Snatch. Pigs and Diamonds’ or, more recently, ‘Once upon a time in … Hollywood’, for which he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor at the 2020 gala. Pitt was on the cover of GQ magazine where he reviewed his career and predicted a future retirement that may be closer than we think..
Despite finding himself on the crest of the wave starring in what appears to be one of the comedic thrillers of the year (“Bullet Train”), it seems the actor doesn’t share that vision and sees the end of his career closer each time. “For some time now I have seen myself in my last stage”Pitt commented. “What will this new phase be like? How will I deal with it?”. In this regard, Quentin Tarantino, who has directed the actor on several occasions, spoke of a future retirement of Pitt, arguing that, when the time comes, “The industry will lose one of the last big screen players”. The director of “Pulp Fiction” spared no praise for his partner and friend. “It is made of another paste. And to be honest, I don’t think you can explain exactly what it is because it would be like describing the brightness of stars. I realized this when we made “Inglourious Basterds”. When Brad entered the scene, he didn’t look like he was looking through the camera viewfinder, he was watching a movie directly.. Its very presence in the frame created that impression “.
Many projects before retiring
Although the actor himself believes that he has little left to finish his career, the truth is that he still has many open projects that will soon see the light. The closest thing is ‘Bullet Train’, directed by David Leitch (director of ‘Deadpool 2’), but Pitt is also in the stellar cast of “Babylon”, the new Damien Chazelle (director of “Whiplash” and “The City of Stars: La La Land”), who will make the rounds of the American film industry in the 1920s and who has completed his cast with names such as Margot Robbie, Tobey Maguire, Olivia Wilde , Phoebe Tonkin or director Spike Jonze, among many others. With high expectations for next year’s Oscars, “Babylon” will hit theaters this Christmas.
In addition to his acting work, Brad Pitt is also quite involved in his role as a producer. His company, Plan B, has a busy year like is behind ‘Blonde’, the new film by Andrew Dominik in which Ana de Armas will play Marilyn Monroe and Sarah Polley’s long-awaited drama ‘Women Talking’, which adapts Miriam Toews’ novel and has Frances McDormand and Rooney Mara among its ranks.
