Brad Pitt Feels Limited Time Left for Hollywood Acting Career
During an interview with Hello, Brad Pitt shared what he used to feel during his initial days at Hollywood where the Bullet Train star gained a decent popularity and was getting good projects to work on.
Even after having good projects in his hands, the actor used to feel that he has reached the so-called “peak” of his acting and the star power in the industry.
“On one hand, I’m hitting my stride now. On the other hand, I’ll tell you truthfully, I’m completely bored with myself in films. I am still at a viable age, but I’m hitting the cusp”
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star was just in his 30s when he was already losing interest in acting and in fact, he used to believe that he would last in the industry for the next five years only.
“I have other interests that I want to pursue that mean more to me,” Pitt said. “I think there’s room to go away from it for a while and then you can come back and reinvent.”
The lead star of Babylon shared him having many different interests other than acting and he wanted to figure out things beyond acting, and if things didn’t work well, we could make a reentry to the world of acting.
