“While Brad has put a lot of time into the various [businesses based out of the French estate, Chateau Miraval, he bought with Angelina Jolie], and his other interests like architecture, he is absolutely committed to his film career,” an insider shared. “He is not leaving Hollywood.”
Another source went on to tell Page Six, “He is considering leaving Hollywood and moving to France and doing his vineyard and art and making furniture … He just wants to live in peace.”
The actor currently has a film on the big screen opposite Margot Robbie in Babylon which is currently in theaters. Although the 59-year-old has several other projects in line as a producer, he is starring in an unnamed Formula1 film Project which has yet to have a release date.
