Brad PittBrad Pitt has said he and Angelina Jolie no longer fight or squabble - because working on his new film The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button - about a man who ages backwards - reminded him that life’s too short to argue.

The actor, who has six children with Angelina, told Rolling Stone magazine recently: “Angie and I do not fight anymore.

“What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother [Marcheline Bertrand in January 2007], is that there’s going to come a time when I’m not going to get to be with this person anymore.

“I’m not going to get to be with my children anymore. Or friends, people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.”

With his 45th birthday just around the corner (on 18th December), he added that he’s also beginning to plan his retirement from Hollywood: “I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things.

“I have this fantasy of a bike trip to Chile. I have this fantasy of flying into Morocco. But right now, more and more, it’s about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up.”
