Brad Pitt wants to retire from acting in three years

Brad Pitt has revealed to Australian 60 Minutes his intention to retire from acting in three years time, coinciding with his fiftieth birthday.

Pitt delivered the deadline when he was asked how much longer he would want to do his “business” for.

When pressed for details on his post-retirement plans, Pitt responded thusly.

“Hell if I know. I am really enjoying the producing side and development of stories and putting those pieces together. And getting stories to the plate that might have had a tougher time otherwise.”

Like frequent cry-wolfer Steven Soderbergh, we’ll believe the retirement when we see it.
