Brad Pitt’s Shocking Revelation to F1 Drivers Before ‘F1’ Movie Filming
Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt dropped a bombshell on the F1 world when he made a jaw-dropping appearance at the British Grand Prix before commencing filming for the highly anticipated ‘F1′ movie. Pitt stunned everyone by joining the closed drivers’ briefing at Silverstone in 2023, where he delivered a bold message to the racers.
In an exclusive interview with GQ, Pitt disclosed that he advised the F1 drivers, “if we’re ever in the way, just tell us to f**k off.” This unexpected move came after Pitt and his co-star, Damson Idris, had undergone rigorous training at Le Castellet in France and various tracks in the UK.
The Hollywood duo caused a stir when they casually walked out onto the grid alongside real F1 drivers and stood beside them during the national anthem. However, just five days later, filming was abruptly halted due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, leaving Pitt and the crew in limbo.
Despite the setback, Pitt reminisced about the thrilling experience of being on the Silverstone grid, surrounded by the roaring engines and adrenaline-pumped crowd. He expressed his disappointment when the strike put a sudden stop to the production, but he found a silver lining in the extended time spent behind the wheel of the modified Formula 2 cars used in the film.
After the strike concluded, Pitt returned to Silverstone the following year with renewed vigor and confidence. He described the transition from feeling like an outsider in 2023 to feeling at home in 2024 as a remarkable shift in perspective.
Now, as the release of the F1 movie draws near, fans are eagerly anticipating the on-screen magic that Pitt and Idris have brought to life. With Pitt’s bold message to the F1 drivers setting the stage for an electrifying behind-the-scenes story, the ‘F1’ movie promises to be a blockbuster hit that will captivate audiences worldwide.
