Today, he wants to leave the wounds of the past far behind him. “Brad just wants to live in peace, again report the source to Page Six. Brad has decided to live a peaceful life and move on and wants to decide what his semi-retirement is going to be like.” But out of the question, however, to stop the cinema. “He decided to continue acting”, assures the source.

Brad Pitt and Miraval: the actor gets involved
It must be said that the star began to create a little cocoon on French territory. This summer, Brad Pitt was doing work to open Miraval Studios, a legendary place for music: this is where AC/DC, Wham!, Muse, Pink Floyd and the French Alain Bashung and Maxime Le Forestier recorded their hits. . With the French producer Damien Quintard, they redesigned everything for a year and a half.
The idea? Create a haven of peace in the heart of a gigantic 500-hectare estate in the heart of nature, surrounded by vineyards. “We wanted to create a space where you are free and it was with this in mind that we created the estate – ‘Let’s make a sanctuary’”, explains Brad Pitt on the studios website. A sanctuary for artists that could very soon become its own.
Brad Pitt has owned the Miraval wine estate since 2011. He acquired it with Angelina Jolie, who had chosen to sell his shares in divorce.
