In "Bullet Train", 58-year-old Brad Pitt showed his good skills at a young age. However, in addition to preempting enemies, his hands can also create meaningful works of pottery and sculpture. Currently, the first public exhibition of his artwork is taking place at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere, Finland, and they are based on Pitt’s “self-reflection.”
Brad Pitt posted the work for the exhibition on his social media account.
As early as three years ago, in an interview with The New York Times, Brad Pitt said that he would reduce the number of films and spend more time on things that interest him, such as sculpture, pottery, and architecture. It is reported that Pitt, who majored in advertising design at the university, really began to engage in the creation of plastic art after his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2017. He studied with British artist Thomas Houseago, where he often stayed for 15 hours in his Los Angeles studio, and even invited his friend Leonardo DiCaprio to join him.
This time at the Sarah Hilden Museum of Art is a large-scale solo exhibition of Thomas Houseago, which will continue until January 15, 2023. Brad Pitt participated as a guest artist with nine sculptures and ceramics on display. In addition to Pitt, House Young also invited another friend of his, Australian rock musician Nick Cave, to participate, and the three attended the opening ceremony together. "It's a whole new world for me, and I don't know what to say, but I'm going to do my best to create." "The museum is like a sanctuary, and it's great to be here." Pete at the opening ceremony.

In fact, in Hollywood, it is not uncommon for actors to engage in artistic creation across borders, including paintings by Jim Carrey, Stallone, Pierce Brosnan, Anthony Hopkins, Lucy Liu, Viggo Mortensen, etc. It is recognized by the world, and there are even people who can use this as a second livelihood.
Last year, Johnny Depp, who was exiled from Hollywood in a lawsuit with his ex-wife, sold 780 of his prints to the Castle Fine Art Gallery in London. As a result, more than $3.6 million was collected in just a few hours, with the price of a print reaching $3,973 and a set of four at $15,040. Obviously, even if he can't act, Depp can make a lot of money from selling paintings alone.
