Thanks to Damson Idris, Lewis Hamilton, and Brad Pitt, eye candy was in overdrive in New York City. And we loved all the flavors.
The stylish trio hit the carpet for the premiere of F1: The Movie on Monday, June 16—and if you thought the need for speed was just about race cars, think again. These men gave drama, presence, and serious 'leading man energy.'

The seven-time World Champion showed up in a crisp, soft, blush double-breasted jacket tailored to perfection and cinched at the waist for a regal silhouette. Lewis paired his blazer with black trousers, diamond studs, and a statement brooch.
In other words, the 2025 Met Gala chair oozed power and quiet luxury.

Whew, Damson Idris was not playing either. Damson stepped onto the carpet in a three-piece black suit with a deep V-neckline, no tie, and all that signature swag we love from him.
He added gold jewelry, a gold watch, and the confidence of a 'man who knows how fine he is' to his look. The suit's precise tailoring was modern and easy, and the way he smiled as he posed. We are swooning.
Brad Pitt, who stars in the film as veteran F1 driver Sonny Hayes, stayed true to his understated, confident style. He wore a midnight navy double-breasted suit with peak lapels, styled with a slightly unbuttoned white shirt underneath.
The F1 movie premieres later this month, and if this screening is any indication, it looks like the film has it all. Whether you're here for the fashion, the film, or the fine men behind the wheel, F1 is giving us something to root for.

Damson Idris addresses Black Panther 3 casting rumours
Damson Idris has addressed speculation that he could become the next Black Panther. During an appearance on the Today show on Wednesday, the F1 actor was asked if he had had any conversations with Marvel Studios about becoming the next iteration of the superhero in the third Black Panther movie. When presenter Craig Melvin encouraged him to give a "yes or no" answer, Idris playfully replied, "Yes-no." Melvin asserted his response meant a "yes," and the British actor responded, "It could mean no." When asked if he'd accept the role if it was offered to him, Idris confirmed that he would. T'Challa/Black Panther was played by Chadwick Boseman in 2016's Captain America: Civil War, followed by 2018's Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War and 2019's Avengers: Endgame. After Boseman died in August 2020, aged 43, director and co-writer Ryan Coogler decided not to recast the character for the planned sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In the 2022 film, T'Challa dies, and his sister Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, takes over the Black Panther mantle. During a radio interview on Sway in the Morning, Idris opened up about what the Black Panther role would mean to him. "It would mean everything, of course. Again, it's all about responsibility. But either way, whoever plays that part, if that part even happens, I'm going to be in the theatres supporting it," he shared. "I knew Chad(wick) well. He was an icon to us. Someone like Chad and what he represented, I think it's important that that essence carries on. I think that's what he would want." However, Black Panther producer Nate Moore previously insisted in February that there was "no truth" to the T'Challa recasting rumours. "We'll get into it later this year, but everything you read online is not true, if for no other reason than we just haven't started (working on it yet)," he told

F1 Movie Director Addresses Cutting Actress' Role
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Movie director Joseph Kosinski made the shocking decision to cut an actress from "F1," the summer blockbuster hitting the theaters in late June. The movie staff announced Simone Ashley, known for her role in Bridgerton, as part of the movie's cast, along with Brad Pitt and Damson Idris. She joined the filming of the movie, though her role was omitted from the picture. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Kosinski explained why he cut her role from the final product that will be released in theaters on June 27. "It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use. There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make into the final cut," he said. "But Simone, she's an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer, and I would love to work with her again." The director didn't explain what her storyline was. Ashley hasn't spoken about the filmmakers cutting her part from the movie. Brad Pitt, Joseph Kosinski, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Jerry Bruckheimer pose for photo, on the F1 movie Red Carpet at Parque Toreo on June 9, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Photo by MediosShe previously shared her excitement over the filming of "F1," describing the exhilarating process: "You had to work as a team. Sometimes we literally had one take for certain shots. Like, you'd see on the call sheet eight minutes to get this one thing because we were shooting alongside the races," Ashley told Who What Wear back in March. "It was amazing, the adrenaline. It was kind of like theater. It felt so live." Kosinski is an accomplished director, having created the famous Top Gun franchise. Movie critics and fans acclaim both air-bound military movies for their action scenes and thrills, making Kosinski the ideal pick for an action-packed racing film. "F1" tells the story of a retired F1 driver, Sonny Hayes, returning to the grid after retiring from the sport. He left following a tragic accident, but his former teammate, Ruben, needs help with his F1 team - APXGP. The racing outfit is struggling to survive. Ruben needs Hayes to help mentor Joshua Pearce, the team's young racing talent, who is fast but still rough around the edges. Brad Pitt assumes the role of Hayes, while Damson Idris plays Pearce in the film. Apple Films produced the movie, sparing no expense in its development. They captured scenes at actual racetracks, featuring current-day drivers and teams, to create a modern depiction of the sport. Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton serves as an executive producer on the film, providing an experienced voice in the movie's development.

Javier Bardem Calls Out Lack of International Action in Gaza: ‘I Believe It's a Genocide'
Javier Bardem stopped by 'The View' on Monday morning and used his time at the table to call out the 'lack of action' from multiple governments — including the United States — for fostering a genocide in Gaza. As his interview wrapped up, host Ana Navarro ended things by asking the actor why it's so important for him to use his voice and platform to speak up on issues like immigration. According to Bardem, it's more about 'decency' and encouraging people to remember their humanity. A prime example, he noted, is the ongoing war in Gaza. 'The situation in Gaza has come to a term now where I cannot express the pain that I, along with many millions of people there, suffer on a daily basis watching those horrible images of children being murdered and starving to death,' he said. 'Being absolutely blocked the aid of medicines, water, medical material.' The 'F1' actor then noted that experts in international law, amnesty and human rights have all dubbed the crisis in Gaza a genocide, and he fully agreed with that label. 'Why is that? First of all, because the impunity that is taking Israel in doing these actions, and the lack of action on any government,' Bardem said. 'Of course, the back-up of the United States with all those weapons and the economics, and also the silence of Europe, is creating a scenario where there is such impunity that if we really don't do something about that, we are going towards, well, what is happening now.' Later on Monday evening, Bardem echoed his sentiments on the red carpet for 'F1,' telling Variety that 'it's a genocide, taking place in front of our eyes in 4K.' You can watch Javier Bardem's full thoughts on Gaza from 'The View' in the video above.
