Monday, November 14, 2011 at 6:21PM Brad Pitt Announces Planned Retirement
Wow, this is one big surprise. Legendary 47-year-old actor Brad Pitt announced today on Australia's 60 Minutes that he's going to give acting another three years, and then quit it altogether. For the why, Pitt cites his discomfort with his current celebrity status and the reclusive behavior that resulted from it, summing up his feelings as “I don’t want to keep doing this...What’s the point? I’m not enjoying this. What’s the point?” To be frank, if he didn't want attention, maybe he shouldn't have gotten into a relationship with Angelina Jolie.
All snarkiness aside, this may actually be a good move for him. There are plenty of stars who stay in the business for so long their careers burn out, and most people just remember them for the last few mediocre movies they make. Brad Pitt's last two movies have been Terrence Malick's much praised arthouse flick Tree of Life, and serious Oscar contender Moneyball. It's definitely a good high note to end his career on.
Now, Pitt has another three years before he officially calls it quits, and this may just be the result of a current funk that he may work out before that happens. But if it isn't, then we will be losing one of my favorite actors. If you look at his career, it's actually quite surprising to see how few bad movies he actually made. Cool World is the only one I'd call horrible, and that was way back in 1992. The rest never dipped below mediocrity. His looks may have largely gotten him started in show business, but his talent was what kept him there.
Now, in his honor, I think that I should present what might just be the most entertaining moment of his 20+ year career:

Isn't it possible that maybe his relationship with Angelina Jolie isn't a publicity stunt?
Not that I buy in to the "Branjelina" brouhaha, but its a bit TMZ-esque, claiming the entire relationship is a farce.
