Brad Pitt Discourages Young Actors From Taking On Franchises, Says His Generation “Didn’t Sell Out”

Brad Pitt Discourages Young Actors From Taking On Franchises, Says His Generation “Didn’t Sell Out”

Although Brad Pitt has one of the biggest movies of the summer, he seems reluctant to embrace a new era of Hollywood.

The 2x Oscar winner recently shared some sage wisdom as he admitted his generation of actors was “a little more uptight” than today’s young franchise-minded talents, explaining actors were less likely to “sell out” in the early days of his career.

“I like watching what the new generations are coming in with. I like to see what they’re up against and also the way they negotiate their way through it. I feel they enjoy it more,” he explained on the New Heights podcast.

“We were a little more uptight—and had to be—about acting. You didn’t sell out,” added Pitt. “And now it’s this thing of, ‘Hey, man, we can be artists in many different arenas. So let’s do it, and let’s enjoy it.’ But this idea they also get caught up in, they have to have a franchise or have to [be] a superhero or something… I keep going, ‘Don’t, don’t.’ You’ll die.”

Pitt’s comments come after his latest movie, F1, premiered in theaters last weekend, grossing $57 million ($146.3M global). The actor said he took “a lot of old man jokes” from his young co-star Damson Idris, who has been rumored to be in talks for a role in Black Panther 3.

Despite Pitt’s anti-franchise stance, he previously told The National he “would want to drive again, selfishly speaking” for a potential sequel to the Joseph Kosinski-helmed racing movie. “F1 is still the focus. It needs to be on Joshua Pierce – Damson Idris’s character – and the rest of the team fighting for a championship,” he clarified.

Meanwhile, Pitt set to reprise his role as stuntman Cliff Booth from Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019) for the upcoming Netflix movie off-shoot The Adventures of Cliff Booth, directed by David Fincher.
