Per foxnews.com via GQ, Pitt reportedly said he is "just trying to work less." Seems as though he is striving for the work / life balance that lots of people are seeking in our hectic, non-stop world. The film industry, particularly for an A-list star like Pitt, is especially demanding.
He explained his stance by saying, "I'm still kind of on the same trajectory. I feel the same. I'm really just trying to enjoy the people that I love around me and just living."
In 2022, according to foxnews.com, also when speaking to GQ, Pitt said, "I consider myself on my last leg, this last semester or trimester. What is this section gonna be? And how do I wanna design that?"

Pitt has been acting since he was in his early 20s. The recipient of two Academy Awards, an Emmy, and two Golden Globes, among other industry accolades, he made an impact in Thelma and Louise in 1991. Pitt achieved more success in films like the Ocean's Eleven caper franchise alongside another movie heartthrob, George Clooney. He and his ex, Angelina Jolie, kindled their headline-making, off-screen romance on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005.
