  1. Idk man maybe try to make amends with your family

  2. Poor guy. There don’t seem to be any roles in Hollywood for aging former heartthrobs and their unusually young female love interests….

  3. Dudes been acting around for almost 40 years. Time to go

  4. Fight club 2, have him get killed in one punch. The end.

  6. A lot of famous actors had big roles when they were over 50 and had gray hair. Why would he say something so silly?

    He can work as much as he wants.

  7. Surely if he is a good actor he can continue to turn in great performances even as he ages

  8. He’s had a solid 30+ year run

    Nothing lasts forever

    I mean, he’s now older than Anthony Hopkins when they starred in Legends of the Fall together in 1994

  10. He physically abused his wife and children. He should rot

  11. Watch out, Nic Cage. Someone is coming for your movie career.

  12. I always wonder why it’s so hard to walk away with your hundreds of millions and enjoy the retirement years of your life living lavishly and possibly making amends?

  13. He still has a career after assaulting his wife and children. Jeez.

  14. Sheesh… enjoy life. With that kind of financial security follow your dreams….

  15. He carried a lot of fun youthful exuberance with Bullet Train and I loved the blend of comedy and action with his character in that film. I think he’s got quite a bit left in the tank, but is also aware that he can’t play the same characters from the last 10-20 years for the remainder of his 60’s.

    Talk to anyone in their 60’s, even those that are healthy and physically very active. It seems like they enter their 60’s and go “Oh, this isn’t so bad”, then about 62-63 things take a HARD turn and they start look and feel flat out old!

  16. We are going to need new “old” actors eventually because the old ones we got now are going to die.

  17. Yeah, no one wants to watch a Formula 1 movie when the main character is 60 years old.

  18. He’s not a great actor. He kind of just plays Brad Pitt most of the time

  19. Lol I guess sit around and remember how you fucked up your family and miss your kids.

  20. Fuck his career

    From Variety:

    > According to the countersuit, “Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her” during the 2016 altercation. Jolie’s lawyer states the dispute started when Pitt accused her of being “too deferential” to their kids. The two started fighting in the plane’s bathroom.

    > “Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall,” the countersuit reads. “Pitt then punched the ceiling of the plane numerous times, prompting Jolie to leave the bathroom.”

    > The countersuit states that Pitt attempted to get physical with one of their kids after the child came to Jolie’s defense.

    > “When one of the children verbally defended Jolie, Pitt lunged at his own child and Jolie grabbed him from behind to stop him,” the countersuit states. “To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backwards into the airplane’s seats injuring Jolie’s back and elbow. The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face. Some of the children pleaded with Pitt to stop. They were all frightened. Many were crying.”

    > Jolie “arranged for separate transportation at the airport” to bring her and the children to a hotel without Pitt, the suit continues. “She then went to wake Pitt up and told him that she and the children were going to a hotel. Pitt once again screamed at her, and pushed her down yet again.”

    This NPR article goes into more detail about him pouring alcohol on his wife and kids on the plane.

    > As reported in August, Jolie was behind an anonymous 2016 lawsuit in which the plaintiff alleged being assaulted by her “then-husband” on a private plane. The actor told an FBI agent that Pitt “physically and verbally assaulted” her and their children, and the agent went on to meet with the assistant U.S. attorney. The agent concluded they would not pursue criminal charges, causing Jolie to anonymously file a Freedom of Information Act suit against the FBI in order to obtain documents related to the federal investigation against Pitt.

    > In the new countersuit, Jolie’s lawyer states that the FBI agent who investigated the allegations had “concluded that the government had probable cause to charge Pitt with a federal crime for his conduct that day.”

  21. If he doesn’t get weird plastic surgery he can age into a different type of role

  22. He should probably just take a break for 5-10 years… maybe take a few unusual and secondary roles

  23. He’s an abusive pos so he can fuck off now if he wants.

  24. I remember a random episode of Cops filmed in Hollywood that had to be around the time Fight Club came out and the patrol woman and camera crew spotted Brad Pitt dressed basically like Tyler Durden in the movie and even from that 2 seconds you could tell he was the coolest guy in the universe at that time.

    Im sure it’s hard to move on

  26. Pretty bleak since he’s destroyed any relationships with his children!

  27. Actors get better with age.  He matured slowly.  His best role by far was once upon a time in Hollywood.   I’d say there’s more in the tank for him

  28. He needs to frame shift just like Robert Redford did as he aged.

  29. Sure, he’s on the downslope of his career, but he’s 60, not 70, 75, or 80. There’s still a lot of life in the career if that’s what he wants to do.

  32. I’ll be honest, if he can finish out his career with characters like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Bullet Train, and Lost City I would love it. He’s funny

  33. Some biopics or mob movies like Nicholson would be cool, Harrison ford esque movies maybe

  34. He should make Fight Club 2: This time Jared Leto is emo instead of bleach blonde

  35. I’d love to see a Spy Game reboot with him being the Redford – I loved that movie

  36. 5 more years of some movies that are a ton of fun to shoot in exotic locations followed by however long of retirement with sports cars, supermodels, and … that’s literally all you need.
