At 62, #BradPitt has hit a new stride.

The last year has been one the most prolific in his career: there was “F1” and its extended international press tour, followed by three shoots: #HeartoftheBeast, a new film written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by David Fincher, in which Pitt picks up his Oscar-winning role as Hollywood stuntman Cliff Booth, and “The Riders,” not to mention his extensive work behind the scenes as a producer.

Still, he can’t help but notice there used to be a lot of guys who were older than him—Redford, Hackman, Duvall. “It’s a strange passing,” he says. “There was a comforting buffer over us, and now with them gone it’s like losing parents in that way. You’re the last stop.”

At the link in our bio, Pitt reflects on the figures who helped shape his career and why he’d do anything to get his fifties back. Swipe to see more.
