"Three years," Pitt told Australia's "60 Minutes" of when he'll hang up his marquee letters.

"I am really enjoying the producing side and development of stories and putting those pieces together ... getting stories to the plate that might have had a tougher time otherwise," he said.

And though his days as a leading man might be numbered, his brood of adorable kids -- Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh and twins Knox and Viv -- could still expand.

"You know, I don't know that we're finished" adopting or conceiving more tots with Angelina Jolie. "Those late nights are so fun when one of them's up or those mornings when they get up and make pancakes or something. That's what it's about."

Pitt is still making the international rounds for his baseball flick "Moneyball," and will next be seen in the zombie epic "World War Z."  

"Yeah," Jay told GQ, envisioning strapping his offspring into the six-figure vehicle. "Wouldn't that be great? That would be a great picture."

Jay leads this year's crop of GQ Men of the Year, understandable thanks to his star-couple status and the groudswell around his and Kanye West's joint album, "Watch the Throne." Impending fatherhood got him reflective about his own experience as a child.

Other men making the cut include the recently blown away Justin Timberlake, and "Shame" actor and everyone's newest crush Michael Fassbender. The mag's traditional Woman of the Year honor will go this year to Mila Kunis.

GQ editor in chief Jim Nelson will host the annual Men of the Year bash Thursday at West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont. Stay tuned to the Ministry for party (and manly) coverage.
