Brad Pitt has had an eventful year. The Academy Award winner headlined this year’s Bullet Train, which has been praised for its ensemble cast and will next star in Damien Chazelle’s Babylon opposite Margot Robbie and Diego Calva. Under his production banner, Plan B Entertainment, Pitt was involved with the Father of the Bride remake, Netflix’s highly anticipated Blonde, and the two upcoming films She Said and Women Talking. He’s also added a new business venture to his portfolio with the recent launch of his genderless skincare line Le Domaine.
While speaking to British Vogue about Le Domaine, Pitt was prompted by journalist Kathleen Baird-Murray to discuss his skincare regimen without making it “too QVC,” referencing the home shopping network. This prompted Pitt to share a film idea he and Sandra Bullock once shared:

The two collaborated on two films this year, with Pitt making a cameo appearance on the Bullock-led Lost City, and Bullock later returning the favor with an appearance on Bullet Train.
“Actually, Sandy [Sandra Bullock] and I did once try to develop a whole idea of a husband and wife team, who were QVC’s most successful salespeople, but we’re getting a divorce, we hate each other, and we’re taking it out on air as we sell things. That’s as far as we got.”
Brad Pitt’s Take on Aging

During his interview with the publication, the actor also discussed aging, saying:
Aging and retirement are topics that seem to keep coming up in Pitt’s life. In Bullet Train, the 58-year-old plays Ladybug, an assassin on the verge of retirement, and Pitt discussed being on the “last leg of his career” with GQ this past August. He later backtracked a bit on those comments, explaining to Deadline that he wasn’t “a five-year plan kind of guy” and that he would continue to do what felt right.
“I don’t want to be running from aging. It’s a concept we can’t escape, and I would like to see our culture embracing it a bit more, talking about it in those terms. Something we discussed [in founding Le Domaine] was this headline of ‘anti-aging.’ It’s ridiculous. It’s a fairytale. But what is real is treating your skin in a healthy manner. And it’s something I’ve learnt to do for my business, but it kinda makes you feel better. I grew up with a country mentality, kind of you know, Dial Soap once a day and then move on. And I think that we’re learning that if we love ourselves, if we treat ourselves a little better, then there are long-lasting benefits to that. So just age healthy, age in a healthy manner.”
Pitt will next star in Damien Chazelle’s drama Babylon, a period piece set in Hollywood during the roaring 20s. It will open in select theaters on December 25.
