Brad Pitt on How He Relates to His Character in "Ad Astra"

Sci-fi epic “Ad Astra” sees Brad Pitt tackle a space odyssey for the first time, as he plays an astronaut sent to the outer edges of the solar system to find his long last father. But, as well as a space adventure, it’s also a profound meditation on masculinity and vulnerability, subjects that he tells Christiane are close to his heart.
