Brad Pitt Has More To Say On Retirement In Red Carpet Interview

Brad Pitt , who recently suggested he was nearing retirement, walked back his words a bit at the Bullet Train premiere in Los Angeles on Monday.

The 58-year-old cinema hunk told GQ in June , I consider myself on my last leg and called this the last semester or trimester of his career.

But when asked to elaborate as he walked the red carpet in Los Angeles, the Ad Astra star laughed hard. No, I know, I know ... I really have to work on my phrasing, he told Deadline .

I was just saying Im past middle age and I want to be specific about how I spend those last things, whatever they may be, he said.

When Deadline pushed further, Pitt said: Ive never been a five-year plan kind of guy. Im just, whatever feels right for the next. And I still operate that way.
