For the last 30 years, Brad Pitt has solidified his status as a true renaissance man. He's an Oscar-winning actor, a certified sex symbol, and the absolute epitome of male beauty.
Recently, Brad sat down for an in-depth interview with GQ and brought to life a startling revelation. From where he stands, high on the proverbial mountaintop, Brad Pitt has confirmed that he's on the last leg of his career.
Brad left home at the ripe age of 22. Prior to that, he'd been studying journalism at the University of Missouri and abandoned his studies just two credits shy of graduating with a degree.
From 1987 until 1991, Brad made cameo appearances in 21 Jump Street, Growing Pains, and Dallas. His first starring feature film role was The Dark Side of the Sun released in 1988.
Brad's work in the classic crime drama serves as living proof that there is no such thing as small parts — there are only small actors.
Brad was able to secure starring roles in such decade-defining films as A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall, and Se7en.
Brad reunited with Se7en director, David Fincher, to bring Chuck Palahniuk's "Fight Club" to the big screen. Brad's work portraying Tyler Durden helped to make him a bonified movie star and simultaneously gave him the final word on the male physique.
Brad had become the biggest movie star on the planet. In the years that followed, he got married, divorced, remarried, started a family, divorced again, and in 2019 he finally chased down that which had eluded him for his entire career — an Academy Award.
"He’s one of the last remaining big-screen movie stars," Tarantino said. "It’s just a different breed of man. And frankly, I don’t think you can describe exactly what that is because it’s like describing starshine."
The short answer is — whatever the hell he wants. These days, Brad seems much more at peace with strumming his guitar and sipping wine from his vineyard than he does chasing down movie roles.
“This last semester or trimester. What is this section gonna be? And how do I wanna design that?" he asked introspectively.
The answer to Brad's conundrum boils down to one simple thing — creating art.
The kind of art Brad seems most intent on creating is channeled via Plan B Entertainment — his own production company.
Even if Brad is on the last leg of his acting career, it stands to reason that Brad Pitt the artist will be here for many years to come. As the saying goes, "art is never finished" — and neither is Brad Pitt.
