'I wanted to be a singer since I was a kid and my dad bought me my first guitar,' says Warren. 'Funnily enough, I didn't start writing until he passed. Music became an outlet for me to process my trauma,' Warren said in an interview with Variety in May. When he was 18 years old, Warren's mother kicked him out of the house, forcing him to sleep in friends' cars but never their houses because his mum had convinced their parents that Warren was a troublemaker, per an interview he gave the BBC in March.

F1: The Movie review – Brad Pitt in fun but clichéd motor-racing drama
3/5 stars Watching F1: The Movie is like being hurled back into 1980s Hollywood, for better and for worse. The film, about a veteran driver and a rookie in a failing F1 team, sees producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Days of Thunder) and director Joseph Kosinski reunited after Top Gun: Maverick , starring Tom Cruise. But instead of Cruise, this new film stars Brad Pitt. Play Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver who disappeared from the circuit following a crash at the 1993 Spanish Grand Prix. In the years since, he has scraped by as a New York cabby, developed a gambling habit and had numerous failed marriages. He gets another shot at the big time when his former teammate Ruben (Javier Bardem) invites him to drive for his failing F1 team, APX GP. Sonny, it turns out, has retained his skill and proves to be a fantastic driver who plays by his own rules.
