"It seems that might have been taken as a statement of retirement," said Bard Pitt
Brad Pitt scotched talk of imminent retirement as he travelled to Paris for the premiere of his Jackie Chan-inspired action caper Bullet Train. The 58-year-old had worried fans that his acting days may be numbered after a GQ interview last month in which he said he was in the "last semester" of his career. But Pitt told AFP: "I'm not getting out by any means.' "It seems that might have been taken as a statement of retirement. That's not what I was saying," he said.
"I'm over that hump of middle age and so I'm looking at that last leg... How do I want to spend that time? At my age, you've made enough mistakes... now there's a comfort in applying that kind of wisdom."
Bullet Train, which is being released around the world over the next two weeks, sees Pitt trying something new in an action comedy from the director of John Wick, David Leitch.
Pitt plays a reluctant hit-man fighting off rivals on a Japanese train. "It's much more fun than the regular punch-up. It's infused with humour and character," he said.
