During the interview, the conversation turned to aging as Clooney said, “When I turned 60, my wife and I had a nice dinner. We were talking and I said, ‘Look, I’m 60.' Now I’m 63. And I said, 'So here’s the thing, I can still play basketball with the boys. I can still hang out, do a lot of s**t. Physically, I’m in pretty good shape still.’"

"But it doesn’t matter how many granola bars I eat. In 20 years, I’m 80. And that’s a different number," he added.

To which Pitt added, “You start to understand this idea of mortality and that it is something we all have to deal with. You just become more aware of it.”
