Brad Pitt not worried about old age

21/01/2009 01:12

BERLIN (Reuters) - Actor Brad Pitt says he is not afraid of growing old, but is worried about how he will die.

Pitt, who turned 45 last month, was in Berlin for the European premier of 'The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button', in which he plays a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards.

"I'm not so afraid of getting old, I'm more afraid of how I'll go," he told a news conference on Monday. "Fire and tight spaces don't appeal. A shark would be interesting."

The tear-jerking film tracks the love story between Benjamin Button and a woman named Daisy, played by Cate Blanchett, and it looks at the joys and losses they face as one gets younger and the other older.

The movie debuted in the United States over the Christmas Holiday and has taken in $103 million (£71.5 million) in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales to date.

Asked what would make him cry, Pitt replied: "I don't cry, I'm as hard as nails."
