Brad Pitt has said he’s on the “last legs” of his career.
The actor, who will co-star in upcoming Prime Video series Wolfs alongside George Clooney, opened up to GQ about a phrase he commonly says in interviews: “I’m on my last leg”.
“I meant that as seasons,” he shared. “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 went on to say that “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.”
In the same interview, Clooney branded director David O. Russell a “miserable fuck”, saying no film was “worth” working with him. The pair worked together in 1999, when Clooney starred in the Russell-directed movie Three Kings.
He went on to tell GQ that at the time, the director was “making my life hell. Making every person in the crew’s life hell.”
