Don’t worry,Brad Pittisn’t done making movies quite yet, despite his “last legs” comment. Soon, fans will see the Oscar winner teaming up with his friend and colleagueGeorge Clooneyin directorJon Watts’upcoming film,Wolfs.However, back in June of 2022, the A-list actor referred to himself as being on the “last legs” of his career (perGQ), but it hardly seems that is the case.
After all, the 60-year-old thespian is still extremely active in Hollywood as both a performer and a producer. And in a brand-new cover story, Pitt clears up what he meant by his “last legs” quote, and he elaborates on his approach to working in Tinseltown moving forward. Pitt said (viaGQ):
“I meant that as seasons.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.”
Pitt continued:
“It’s: What are these last years going to be?Because I see my parents are very — I see just what George [Clooney] was explaining.In your 80s, the body becomes more frail. And yet I look at Frank Gehry [architect and designer].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.”
Wolfswas tailor-made for stars Brad Pittand George Clooney, whose undeniable on-screen chemistry can’t be denied in the casino crime caper films, which began withOcean’s Eleven(2001) over 20 years ago. And while the acting duo currently tries to infuse the closeness and uniqueness of their real-life friendship intoWolfs,neither A-lister has any plans of slowing down in their careers — well, not too much, at least. Pitt elaborated in the same interview, which he took part in alongside Clooney:
“Well, now I’m doing one movie in a year and a half [laughter].No, I’m still kind of on the same trajectory.I feel the same.I’m really just trying to enjoy the people that I love around me and just living. [He gestures out at the vineyard].
I don’t know how to not sound cheesy about it,but just the air is fresh, and grass is green.And I’ve just kind of become that guy a little bit.You start to understand this idea of mortality [Clooney laughs knowingly] and that it is something we all have to deal with.You just become more aware of it.”
