I read the interview last night and a lot of it's about aging.
George Clooney and Brad Pitt are Hollywood’s BFFs
They’ve spent three decades living intertwined lives at the inconceivably glamorous height of Hollywood. Now, having crossed the threshold of 60, they’re more comfortable than ever throwing bombs, dispensing hard-won wisdom, and, yes, arguing about who had the better mullet in the ’80s
Clooney: [Chuckles.] It makes me laugh. When I turned 60, my wife and I had a nice dinner. We were talking and I said, “Look, I’m 60.” Now I’m 63. And I said, “So here’s the thing, I can still play basketball with the boys. I can still hang, do a lot of shit. Physically, I’m in pretty good shape still.” I said, “But it doesn’t matter how many granola bars I eat. In 20 years, I’m 80. And that’s a different number.” That’s a real number where your bones are brittle and your muscle mass is gone. So shit changes.
[...]
Clooney: OK, but there’s two ways of doing this, right? The phone stops ringing if your decision is that you want to continue to be the character that you were when you were 35, and you want a softer lens. But if you’re willing to, say, move down the call sheet a little bit and do interesting character work, then you can kind of – you have to make peace with the idea that you’re going to die! I will walk up to people and they’ll be like, “Oh, you’re older than I thought.” And I’m like, “I’m 63, you dumb shit!”

This is interesting though
Pitt: What he’s talking about is the realisation of how much of it is on your back. And then you go, “OK, that’s all right. But I’m going to pick.” When you realise you’re responsible, then you step up and you start making calls. Like, I got in my contract when I did Seven, having had a bad experience on a movie before where they edited out scenes I thought were vital, in Seven I put it in my contract: the wife’s head stays in the box.
Clooney: I bet they tried to take it out, didn’t they?
Pitt: Absolutely. And the character kills John Doe. I got both in my contract. So sure enough, when it’s time, they come and they go, “You know, he’d be much more heroic if he didn’t.” And you go, “Yeah, he would. But he’s not.” And then: “It’s too much with the wife. What if we put the dogs’ heads in? It should be the dogs’ heads.” Nope.
