Brad Pitt has had an eventful year. The Academy Award winner headlined this year bullet trainwho was praised for his ensemble cast and will be the next star in Damien Chazelle’s Babylon opposite Margot Robbie and Diego Calva. Under his production banner, Plan B Entertainment, Pitt was involved in the Bride’s Father remake, Netflix’s highly anticipated blondand the two upcoming movies She said and women talk. He has also added a new business venture to his portfolio with the recent launch of his genderless skincare line Le Domaine.
While speaking with British Vogue On Le Domaine, Pitt was asked by journalist Kathleen Baird-Murray to discuss his skincare regimen without making it “too QVC,” citing the home shopping network. This prompted Pitt to share a movie idea he and Sandra Bullock once shared:
“Actually, Sandy [Sandra Bullock] and I once tried to develop a whole idea of a husband and wife team, who were QVC’s most successful salespeople, but we get divorced, we hate each other, and we air it while we sell stuff. We’ve come this far.”
The two collaborated on two films this year, with Pitt making a cameo appearance on the Bullock-led Lost Cityand Bullock later returned the favor with a performance on bullet train.
Brad Pitt’s view of aging
During his interview with the publication, the actor also discussed aging, saying:
“I don’t want to run away from the aging population. It’s a concept that we can’t escape, and I’d like to see our culture embrace it a bit more and talk about it in those terms. Something we discussed [in founding Le Domaine] was this headline from ‘anti-aging.’ It’s ridiculous. It’s a fairy tale. But what’s real is treating your skin in a healthy way. And it’s something I’ve learned to do for my business, but it makes you feel a little bit better. I grew up with a rural mentality, you know, call soap once a day and then move on. And I think we learn that if we love ourselves, if we treat ourselves a little bit better, there are long-lasting benefits. So just grow old healthy, grow old healthy.”
Aging and retirement are topics that seem to come up over and over in Pitt’s life. In bullet train, plays 58-year-old Ladybug, a hit man on the brink of retirement, and Pitt discussed the “last leg of his career” with GQ last August. Later, he kind of backtracked on those comments, explaining to Deadline that he wasn’t “a five-year plan type” and that he would continue to do what felt right.
Pitt will be the next star in Damien Chazelle’s drama Babylon, a period piece set in Hollywood during the roaring 20s. The film will premiere in select theaters on December 25.
