Brad Pitt announced he is planning on leaving his career sooner than you think.

In an interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes,” Pitt said he is ready to leave acting when he turns 50.

The 47-year-old said he didn’t have definitive plans for the future, but only knew he wanted to leave acting in “three years.”

“Hell if I know,” he joked when asked for exact plans. “I’ve really enjoyed the producerial side,” he added. “Getting stories to the plate that may have had a harder time otherwise.”

“I think happiness is overrated. Sometimes you’re happy, sometimes you’re not,” he said. “There’s too much pressure to be happy. I don’t give a sh*t. I know I will be happy sometimes and I won’t be at times. Being at peace is more of a goal for myself.”
