Brad Pitt is never not working.
Not only does the 48-year-old actor have a new movie, Killing Them Softly, set to release on November 30th, he is also currently the first male to endorse Chanel’s No.5 fragrance.
Now, for the November issue of Interview Magazine, Brad has channeled several different characters for the Steven Klein-photographed spread.

Brad was then interviewed by movie director, screenwriter and producer Guy Ritchie for the lifestyle magazine and he touched on topics ranging from his acting career, to his passion to be behind the camera. Some of the stand out pieces from the interview are below!
On choosing his films:
“Yeah. I mean, as you know, so much of making movies is about discovery on the day, what you’re figuring out. If you know everything going in, then it’s not worth doing—it’s already done. So I’m interested in finding people who I think have a voice—and a very specific voice. It’s hard to be surprised by a film. It’s hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when you’ve seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that I’m watching someone’s movie, or when I don’t know how someone made a certain turn that I didn’t expect . . . You know, I’m in.”
On using different dialects in his work:
“Well, you know, I like a bit of song, and dialect is a song. I’m most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It’s easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we’ve got Irish heritage where I come from. We also have some German heritage. The Upper East Coast, though, is a little bit more connected to a British heritage.”
On his producing career:
“Yeah. I’d rather be behind the camera. As a producer, obviously, you’re part of a team that brings the story to the screen. It wouldn’t be there if you didn’t champion it or if you and a group of people weren’t championing it. I like that.”
