• The Six Feet Under actor, 61, runs a gym in Burn After Reading.

DID YOU PREPARE FOR THE ROLE?
They asked, "Could you really get into shape?" I said, "I'm a 60-year-old man, not Brad Pitt. My body isn't going to change." They laughed.

IN BURN, FRANCES MCDORMAND HAS NO IDEA YOU'RE SMITTEN WITH HER. COULD YOU RELATE?
My wife ignored me for two years. I have that effect on women. They want no part of me, so I'm lucky to have found my wife.

ANY PARENTING ADVICE FOR BRAD?
He doesn't need advice. He needs an extra pair of hands!
