Brad Pitt's new film has 'reinvigorated" his love for acting. The 61-year-old star will be back on the big screen in 'F1' when it gets its cinema release on 28 June and he's said it reignited his passion for movie-making.
In an interview with GQ, he said: 'Man, I've been doing this for a while and was wondering: Do I have more stories to tell? Do I have anything to add to this? Is there still any excitement I can find from this? '('F1') just reinvigorated the whole thing again for me."
'F1' is a sports drama directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Lewis Hamilton and Brad. He plays as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula One driver who returns to the sport to mentor a young prodigy, played by Damson Idris. The cast also includes Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Javier Bardem. Filming for 'F1' took place at various Grand Prix events, including the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, to capture authentic racing scenes. The production involved collaboration with all ten Formula One teams and their drivers, aiming to provide a realistic portrayal of the sport.
In addition to 'F1', Brad has been working on 'Heart of the Beast', an action-adventure film directed by David Ayer. Filming occurred in Queenstown, New Zealand, with Pitt portraying a former Navy SEAL stranded in the Alaskan wilderness. The film also stars J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe. During the production of 'Heart of the Beast', Brad spent nearly three months in New Zealand. Reflecting on his personal life in his GQ chat, Brad also acknowledged the persistent media scrutiny he has faced over the years.
But he expressed contentment with his current circumstances, saying his life now feels 'warm and secure" as he's being grounded by a solid group of loved ones.
The New York City premiere of 'F1' is set for 16 June 2025, followed by the London premiere at Leicester Square on 23 June 2025. Its release aligns with the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix.

When George Clooney gifted 14 of his friends $1M each for their support over the decades
A friend in need is a friend indeed. While once upon a time it was Hollywood's hall of fame veteran George Clooney who was the friend in need, the actor, despite tripling down on the success and the accolades, hasn't forgotten the people who were there for him through thick and thin, before his name became an institution in itself. Back in 2013, far long ahead of his days of struggle, George decided to pay it all back — and quite literally at that. He purchased 14 posh Tumi suitcases and filled each of them with a million dollars each. He then got down to planning a dinner party with the 14 recipients — his closest friends over 35 years — and surprised them on the spot. And if you happen to be wondering, George made sure to pay the required taxes on the bounty amounts, making sure that the million-dollar gifts, were not a penny less than that. What pushed him to work out this big, little gesture but? In an interview with GQ, George reflected, "I've slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I've helped them over the years". He continued, "I just held up a map and I just pointed to all the places I got to go in the world and all the things I've gotten to see because of them. And I said, 'How do you repay people like that?'. And I said, 'Oh well, how about a million bucks?'. Randy Gerber, one among George's 14 comrades, had shared with MSNBC back in 2017 how the gesture, "pretty much sums up who George is". Randy recalls George saying, "I know we've all been through some hard times, some of you are still going through it. You don't have to worry about your kids; you don't have to worry about school; you don't have to worry about paying your mortgage". What do you think about George's grand gesture for his friends?

Letting her outfit speak for itself, she kept accessories minimal with cool sunglasses and styled her hair into a sleek bun, with front strands softly framing her face. 2. Disha Patani Bold fashion and Disha Patani always go hand in hand. At the F1 race in Monaco, Europe, the actress wore a wrap top from Jaded London worth Rs 7,050, featuring a deep neckline that showcased her cleavage. The criss-cross pattern around her waist became the real showstopper of her look. She paired it with forest camo colossus jeans worth Rs 11,000. Completing her style, trendy sunglasses perched on her nose and a brown bag hung from her shoulder. She looked absolutely sizzling. 3. Mira Kapoor A successful entrepreneur and the beautiful wife of Shahid Kapoor, Mira Kapoor attended an event in an off-shoulder long white gown by Simkhai, priced at Rs 57,300. The off-shoulder design highlighted her collarbones and shoulders, while the ruched pattern added a fresh feel and cascaded into a flare. The back was the real charmer with a stylish cut-out design. Keeping the styling simple, she opted for golden earrings, a watch, and a bracelet. Her hair was left open with a side partition. 4. Sara Ali Khan Exuding a fairytale vibe, Sara Ali Khan's bold look in a mini blue dress had us completely hooked. She wore a strapless, body-hugging blue outfit that perfectly accentuated her figure. But the real showstopper was her bag, featuring an oversized bow design that stole the spotlight. She beautifully enhanced her look with statement stud earrings and a ponytail hairstyle, leaving some strands loose for a soft touch. 5. Kajol Inspired by the look of Goddess Kali, Kajol donned a custom Torani saree for the trailer launch of her upcoming movie Maa.

Brad Pitt Feels ‘Easy And Natural' In His Relationship With Ines de Ramon
Last Updated: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were among the 'it' couples in the 2000s. Following his divorce from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt is reportedly at a 'solid place" with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon. The two, who have been together for over two years now, are continuing to grow stronger in their relationship and moving forward with a deep sense of happiness and ease. While both Brad and Ines have preferred to keep their romance under wraps, insiders close to them have often shared details about their relationship. One such source told People that Brad's 32-year-old girlfriend has been a 'calming and supportive presence" in his life after his highly publicised divorce from former wife Angelina. The insider shared that there is 'no pressure" between the couple, and Ines, who is a jewellery designer, gives the Fight Club 'space when he needs it, but is always there when it counts." Sharing how Ines changed the 61-year-old actor's life, the source explained, 'Ines has brought a lot of peace into Brad's life. Their relationship has been easy and natural." Furthermore, it was also revealed that the jewellery designer encouraged Brad to move forward, leaving all the things that happened in the past. 'Ines encouraged Brad to move forward and focus on the future. She's grounded, drama-free, and just really good for him, which is exactly what he needs at this stage," said the source. FYI, Brad and Angelina were among the 'it' couples in the 2000s. The duo, who met in 2005 while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith, were in a relationship for almost a decade before they got married in 2014 at Château Miraval in France. Unfortunately, their marriage ended within two years. Angelina filed for divorce in 2016. The two, who shared six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne, were involved in an ugly legal battle for 8 years. In December 2024, Brad and Angelina's divorce was finalised. Speaking about his divorce from Angelina, Brad recently told GQ, 'My personal life is always in the news." He added, 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that… My life is fairly contained. It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit." Brad Pitt will be next seen on-screen in F1 – The Movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski. It will hit the theatres on June 27. First Published: May 30, 2025, 17:43 IST
