Hollywood heart-throb Brad Pitt signalled his intention Tuesday to move into film production after revealing that he plans to stop acting in three years after he turns 50. Pitt, 47, told a news conference during a visit to South Korea to promote his latest film ‘Moneyball’ that moving into the producer’s chair was something that appealed to him. “I do quite enjoy the producing side,” the star of ‘Fight Club’ said, adding that he would like producing films which are difficult to make under the current system or “getting behind talent that we believe in”. Pitt’s comments came just days after he said he intended to quit acting when he turns 50. During an interview with an Australian current affairs show in Tokyo broadcast on Sunday, the American actor was asked how much longer he would like to “do your business for”. “Three years,” he told the interviewer on ‘60 Minutes’. The actor, who played starring roles in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Inglourious Basterds’ and ‘Troy’ also told the programme he was content with life. “I think happiness is overrated, truthfully. I do. I think sometimes you’re happy, sometimes you’re not. There’s too much pressure to be happy,” he said. “Satisfied, at peace, those would be more goals for myself.”
