Brad Pitt needs to 'try and be calm' on the road
Brad Pitt has admitted he needs to "chill" while driving.
The Hollywood star - who plays racer Sonny Hayes in new blockbuster F1 - got to speed around racetracks for the movie, but he acknowledged he should learn to slow down when he's out and about.
Noting he is "trying to be calm in traffic", Brad told Extra: "I'm one of those that feels like I'm always on the racetrack and I need to, like, chill.
"I just need to chill. So that's this year, just trying to chill. Enjoy the sights, don't sweat the traffic.
"I'm not doing very well, by the way."
The AGe-year-old actor's character in the movie is a retired driver making his return to the sport, and Brad has seen parellels with the film world.
He said: "It's nice... It's a funny thing because I see the new generations coming in and it's really exciting what they're doing, and the movies are about a place in time, in our time, and they reflect our time…
"I really enjoy it, but I so enjoy what other people are doing, so it's less of a hunt and more of an appreciation, you know, as the natural evolution happens."
Brad recently opened up about having to learn from his mistakes, as he appeared to reflect on lessons learned following his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
He told Entertainment Tonight: "o matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from (it) and move on.'
Brad added about making an error: 'It'll lead to the next success.'
The A-lister and and Angelina concluded their divorce in December 2024, more than eight years after the actress, 50, first filed to dissolve their marriage in September 2016.
The couple, who starred together in Mr and Mrs Smith, share six children – Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
Speaking about what keeps him grounded at this point in life, Brad said: 'At this age, you see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back.'
He continued: 'Friends, family, and that's it. From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation.'

In ‘Not My Type,' E. Jean Carroll Gets the Last Gab About the Trump Trials
NOT MY TYPE: One Woman vs. a President, by E. Jean Carroll We already know that E. Jean Carroll looked smashing when she went to court versus Donald J. Trump. But her irrepressible voice was, necessarily, repressed. For 27 years, with countless exclamation points and emphatic italics, Carroll wrote the 'Ask E. Jean' column for Elle magazine, focusing on the perils of modern dating. Advice columns, a quaint holdover from the heyday of print you'd think ChatGPT would make redundant, remain curiously ubiquitous. Yet even in a crowded field, this adrenalized agony aunt, currently on Substack, stands out, with her giddy feminism (her tuxedo cat is named Vagina T. Fireball); literary references (the Great Pyrenees dog: Miss Havisham); and runaway retro expressions like 'egads!' and 'twitpiffle.' Testifying in depositions and two trials, however, Carroll was instructed by her lawyers to keep her answers short. 'Very, very short,' she writes in 'Not My Type,' a delightful full-gallop account of the experience, and sequel of sorts to 'What Do We Need Men For?' (2019), in which she first accused Trump of assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. 'I receive the impression that saying nothing at all would be best,' she adds. Now she is saying pretty much everything, including a few evidentiary morsels not introduced at trial. Like that Jeffrey Epstein, Trump's friend, had heard and gossiped about what had happened. And a 1987 'Spy 100' issue listed Bergdorf dressing rooms in an article about places for 'lunchtime adultery.' The man the magazine called a 'short-fingered vulgarian' was among those on the cover. Trump has plenty of his own insults at hand, of course. Indeed the title 'Not My Type' is taken from one about why he never would have advanced on the unconsenting Carroll: 'No. 1, she's not my type.' (He did, however, mistake her in an old photo for one of his exes, Marla Maples.) 'No. 2, it never happened,' he added. 'It never happened, OK?' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

A Huge Update On ‘The Pitt' Season 2's Unusual Release Date On HBO Max
The Pitt The Pitt is on course to land a bunch of Emmys, most likely, after its stellar run on Max (soon to be HBO Max). Now, WB wants to take advantage of this lightning in a bottle, and use it to create an entire thunderstorm on its service with rapid-fire, lengthy seasons like broadcast TV of old (I am told broadcast TV still exists). We have a big update about The Pitt season 2 from Max itself. They released a 'filming has begun' video on social media that confirms season 2 is not just written, it's already in motion. And yes, it's confirmed that The Pitt season 2's release date will be in January of 2026, one year after the January 9, 2025 release of the stunning 15-episode season 1. Stunning because the show was good, but also stunning because of the fact it was 15 episodes. And it's likely that season 2 will match that as it continues its 'single shift' concept, channeling 24 and Jack Bauer from years past. We know more than just the date, and here's a roundup of the information that we have about season 2: The Pitt More information will emerge in time, but it's crazy to think that with this announcement, we are already seven months away from a new season of the show. I cannot think of a single streaming show that produces 15, 45+ minute episodes once a year. Even ones that manage yearly releases are things like six-episode seasons of Slow Horses or shorter, fewer episodes like The Bear or Only Murders in the Building. The Pitt is something special, and hopefully, season 2 will retain season 1's quality. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
