Brad Pittis having one hot summer!

Earlier in the day, Pitt, 55, opened up about what the movie meant to him, revealing that he sees it as a commentary on masculinity.

“In retrospect, what [director James Gray] and I were digging at was that definition of masculinity,” Pitt said at a press conference alongside costar Liv Tyler and Gray. “We’ve both grown up in an era where we were asked to be strong…and there is a value in that, but [also a] barrier because you’re hiding some of those things you feel ashamed of. We all hide and carry individual pain and wounds.”

“We were asking the questions – is there a better definition [of masculinity] for us…a better relationship with loved ones, with your kids and with ourselves?” he continued.

Before the film’s release, Gray toldVanity Fairthat Pitt’s McBride has “schizoid tendencies,” which keep him from really bonding with the people in his life.
