Brad Pitt is reportedly stepping back from all of his Hollywood ventures as he strives towards a ‘relaxed life’ after 30 years in the spotlight.

The actor, 59, is thought to be trying out ‘semi-retirement’ after selling a massive stake of his production company Plan B.

But despite taking a step away, he still plans to continue acting – with sources claiming ‘he just wants to live in peace’.

Brad co-owns the Château Miraval wine estate with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, and runs businesses out of the property.

Back in September, it was announced that Angelina’s former company was suing the actor for $250million for allegedly stealing their wine business from her.

The cross-complaint by Nouvel LLC is a legal clap-back after Pitt sued Jolie claiming she illegally sold her stake in Chateau Miraval, a French castle and wine brand.

And the reports of stepping down comes weeks after Brad sold 60% of his company Plan B to French media conglomerate Mediawan.

He founded Plan B in 2001 with his now ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and his then-manager Brad Grey, who died in 2017. With Brad becoming the sole owner after he and Aniston divorced. 

But amid the many reports from various sources, they all remain clear that he is committed to his 30-year-long acting career.
