When Tara Brown, a journalist for 60 Minutes in Australia, asked Brad Pitt how much longer he was going to be acting, he answered flatly, “Three years.” She repeated for confirmation, he confirmed, and when she asked him what he’d do after his acting career was over, he said, “Hell if I know.

He has worked with a great many top-tier directors and has been able to straddle the line between making commercially appealing movies and serious art-house fare. But it sounds as if he's taking cues from his friend Steven Soderbergh, who has a similar career. Pitt says that he expects to be done with acting in three years.
