Simone Ashley's role cut from ‘F1'; Director clarifies- deets inside
Ashley is a well-known star after her series, 'Bridgeton.' Her character got praised and was admired by the fans for her acting skills. Even after such skills, her shot for an entire storyline for the project 'F1,' Brad Pitt 's upcoming film, got cut from the final movie. Director Joseph Kosinski explained the reason for this incident of removal as Ashley was set to appear in a large role alongside Brad Pitt in 'F1.' Her words about the movie before her role was cut Speaking to 'ELLE' earlier, Ashley said making 'F1' was a 'crazy' experience. "I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie," she said at the time. "I got to experience many Grands Prix. I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again." She had also previously told 'Who What Wear' in March that production on the film had been 'going for years,' as she revealed how long her role was in the works. Further, she said, "I met for this movie, I think, before Bridgerton even came out. It's been a long time, and you know, it's Damson and Brad's movie. I'm just so grateful that I can be part of it." She also expressed how the timings were tight for her. She said, "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." Further adding "It was amazing, the adrenaline," she continued. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...
