SEOUL — Brad Pitt on Tuesday clarified comments he made about his upcoming retirement from acting, saying he has not put “an exact deadline” on his time in front of the camera.
In an interview broadcast on the Australian version of “60 Minutes,” Pitt was asked by correspondent Tara Brown, “How much longer would you like to do your business for?”
“Three years,” the 47-year-old actor replied, saying he hoped to switch his focus to producing movies.
In Seoul on Tuesday to promote his new film “Moneyball,” Pitt said his retirement plans were not as definite as they were perceived to be, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“I wasn’t putting an exact deadline on my expiration date, but I just see it coming and I do have an interest in the producing side,” he explained.
He said his movie-star clout could allow him to tell “complex stories that might have difficulty getting made in the current system” as a producer.
