Brad Pitt's Mid-Life Crisis?

Brad Pitt says that making a movie about ageing backwards made him think about life as an older man.

The actor - who turned 45 yesterday - says that playing a man with an ageing disorder in the Curious Case Of Benjamin Button was a tought-provoking experience.

Brad told The Los Angeles Times, "It just made me think about the ticking clock. Am I in mid-life? Am I halfway there? Do I have 10 years, five years?

"And so what are those moments going to be that I do know I have, which is now?"

And as for the film, Brad said he was immediately on board because of its unusual storyline: "I was actually quite intrigued to see where it might be heading."
