Brad Pitt loves being a "farmer".

The actor and his fiancee Angelina Jolie bought French winery Miraval in 2012 and the 50 year old hunk loves learning more about the vineyard and the winemaking process as he finds it so relaxing.

He said: "I'm a farmer now. I love learning about the land and which field is most suitable for which grape, the drama of September and October...I enjoy cleaning the forest and walking the land. [It is] the antithesis of the drive, the want, the need to get ahead indicative of life in Hollywood."

Brad and Angelina paid $60 million for the winery and, after deciding to tackle their new business venture "like a film", have seen production grow from 5,800 cases in 2011 to 16,000 now.

Speaking to Wine Spectator magazine, Brad said: "The business model didn't make sense to me...Let's approach it like a film...let's make something we can be proud of and all people can enjoy."
