Actor Brad Pitt plans to focus on rebuilding New Orleans and extending his family, he told CNN’s Larry King — but acting may not be in his long-term future. Brad Pitt recently announced plans to build 150 eco-friendly houses in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“It’s become less and less a focus as I get older,” he said in the interview, scheduled to air Wednesday night on “Larry King Live.” “I think it’s really more of a younger man, younger woman’s game. It’s a… liquid art.”
He hasn’t ruled it out completely — “I’d like to drop in if I’m still invited every few years or so,” he told King — but he said he wants to pursue some other interests as well.
“At this point, I’d rather — it takes so much time, [and] there’s just other things I’d rather be doing,” said Pitt, who soon turns 44, during the course of a freewheeling interview.
Right now, Pitt’s primary goal is to help rebuild New Orleans. On Monday, the actor announced plans to build 150 eco-friendly homes in the Louisiana city’s Lower 9th Ward, an area devastated by Hurricane Katrina. In the storm’s aftermath, the community’s housing stock was largely demolished, leaving many of its residents living in trailers.
Pitt, who purchased a French Quarter mansion in New Orleans earlier this year with Angelina Jolie, said he’s met 9th Ward residents who “did everything right” — worked hard, bought homes, sent kids to college — but now feel abandoned.
