Brad Pitt is expected to announce his retirement from his acting career as he has given a big hint that he may soon resign after spending more than 30 years in the entertainment industry. The 58-year-old actor began his journey in Hollywood in the late 1980s and rose to fame with 1991’s Thelma & Lewis. Over the years, he delivered critical and commercial hits such as Fight Club, Ocean Series, Troy, Mr and Mrs Smith, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Inglourious Bastards, Moneyball and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), for which he Won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
The Oscar-winning actor told GQ magazine in a profile interview that he is going through the “last semester or trimester” of his career. “I consider myself on my final stage. It’s the final semester or trimester. What will this section be? And how do I want to design it?” Pitt said.
Pitt most recently had a cameo role in Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum-starrer The Lost City and is now gearing up for Sony’s action film Bullet Train. He will also star in the Damien Chazelle-directed epic “Babylon”, co-starring Margot Robbie, and co-starring George Clooney in an Apple Original Films thriller for filmmaker Jon Watts.
Pitt is equally known for his work as a producer with his production company Plan B Entertainment, which has backed award-winning films such as 12 Years a Slave, The Departed, Moonlight and Minari.
In 2021, Plan B will release “Women Talking” based on the novel of the same title by Miriam Toes. Pitt said of the film, “It’s as deep a film as it has been made of this decade.”
The actor’s banner is also behind “Blonde”, the Ana de Armas-starrer adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ fictional biography of Marilyn Monroe.
Pitt described the production as “gratifying in new and different ways”, but said he is ready to appear in front of the camera when the time is right. His frequent collaborator Quentin Tarantino told the outlet that he considers Pitt to be “one of the last remaining movie stars of the big screen” of Hollywood.
The director compared Pitt to such iconic Hollywood stars as Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Steve McQueen.
