During the interview, Brad said, "My personal life is always in the news. It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way. 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, I don't know. I don't know. Mostly I feel pretty…. 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.'
When asked whether the settlement of his divorce came as a relief to him, the actor added, 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally.'
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie first met and fell in love on the set of their 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. They married in 2014 at their French estate, Château Miraval. However, their marriage ultimately ended in divorce.
Brad's upcoming film F1- The Movie is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who helmed Top Gun: Maverick. The film releases only in Cinemas & IMAX on June 27 in English, Hindi, Tamil & Telugu.

Will Tom Cruise Ever Replace Brad Pitt in F1? Director Says 'We'd Have Had a Crash' With Mission Impossible Star
If Tom Cruise had taken the lead role in the upcoming racing film F1, the production would have been a lot more intense, according to director Joseph Kosinski. In a recent interview with GQ magazine, Kosinski said Cruise's approach to filming action scenes would have made the set environment more nerve-wracking compared to Brad Pitt's style. 'Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled,' Kosinski said. The F1 director and producer Jerry Bruckheimer began working on the Pitt-led racing film during post-production on Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise's blockbuster hit that grossed USD 1.4 billion. The idea of Cruise leading F1 was floated during this time, but it didn't go forward. Reflecting on that possibility, Kosinski said, 'They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more.' Many crew members on F1 had previously worked with Cruise on Mission: Impossible films, and they know how far he's willing to go. Graham Kelly, the action-vehicle supervisor, had a strong opinion. 'We'd have had a crash,' he joked when asked about Tom Cruise starring in F1 instead of Brad Pitt. 'Tom pushes it to the limit. I mean, really to the limit. That terrifies me,' Kelly said. 'I've done loads of Mission: Impossibles with Tom, and it's the most stressful experience for someone like me building cars for him, doing stunts with him.' In contrast, Kelly said Pitt is more aware of his limits. He added that Brad listens and he knows his abilities and believes he'd be the first to say that he is not going to do it. Before Top Gun: Maverick, Kosinski was developing a racing film similar to Ford v Ferrari, with both Cruise and Pitt interested. However, the studio passed on the project due to the high budget. That film was eventually made by James Mangold and starred Christian Bale and Matt Damon. Cruise is currently in theaters with Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which opened to USD 200 million globally. Pitt's F1 is scheduled to hit theaters on June 27. With Pitt behind the wheel, the team says they can expect a smoother ride, at least behind the scenes.

Disha Patani rocks in Monaco with Rs 18,397 blue maxi and white backless mini—her hotness is limitless
When it's about a hot fashion game, Disha Patani has been unbeatable. The actress recently attended the F1 race in Monaco, Europe, and her latest Instagram dump has left us dreaming of having a wardrobe just like hers. Apart from the wrap top, the style icon also stunned in the two contrasting but equally bold outfits—a mini-dress and a maxi. And we can't wait to dive deep into the details! Blue Maxi Enjoying the yacht ride, Disha Patani kept her look easy breezy in the blue maxi known as the Caroline dress from Rat & Boa, costing Rs 18,394. It's a playful ensemble with the delicate floral prints, spaghetti halter straps with the fastening at the back adding a sultry edge, and a dropped neckline. For the easygoing vibe, the dress was made with lightweight fabric. What looked more HOT was the backless design—it just made us fall in love with her again. The actress didn't add many accessories, and of course, she didn't require them, as her outfit was itself slaying. She just wore a delicate necklace, whereas to feel the breezy air, she kept her hair open to flow naturally. Talking about her beauty choice, it was just the basics she needed for the radiant finish. The flawless glow was achieved with a hint of blush and nude-shade lipstick. White backless mini The other look of Yodha actress enjoying the boat ride was in a white mini-dress with a sexy backless design. The fitted bodice highlighted her curves, whereas the halter straps with gold rings focused on her collarbones. Moreover, the deep sweetheart neckline enhanced the feminine charm, making it the perfect outfit, just what we need to look bold and stylish. What was more focused on her outfit was the way she styled it. Her hair was tied into a bun with the strands falling on her face. And the accessories were just minimal, with white stud earrings. And lastly, on her makeup, it was just perfect with the basic blush on her cheeks and the light-shade lipstick. Disha Patani's look in Monaco was just breathtaking. Whether it was a full-length maxi or a backless mini, one thing that remained constant was how gorgeous and hot she looked. With her approach of keeping it subtle with radiant makeup and accessories, she just served the ultimate vacation fashion goals.

Why is the Internet giving Lewis Hamilton a digital bath at the Ganges?
My chronically-online self is usually unfazed by Internet absurdities. However, the time has come to let you know that one particular trend has got my goat: Having to type sentences like 'Prayagraj-based entrepreneur Deepak Goel gives snans (baths) to celebrities like Logan Paul, Sydney Sweeny, Lewis Hamilton, and Virat Kholi at the Narmada and Ganga rivers'. It's all downhill from here, isn't it? Back in January and February, when the Maha Kumbh Mela was being celebrated in full swing in Uttar Pradesh, Deepak Goel, an entrepreneur, saw an opportunity that you and I didn't. When the world was rushing to dip themselves into the Ganges, Deepak put out a video on Instagram introducing himself. 'Hi, I'm Deepak Goel from Prayagraj and I am performing digital snans for people. All you have to do is send me a WhatsApp picture of yourself. I will take a printout and dip you five times. I come here every day,' he declared. Earlier, the dips came at a hefty price. When the Kumbh was taking place, Deepak could be seen standing at the ghats by the river with his pants rolled up, holding up passport sized images of strangers who wanted their sins to be washed away. He charged ₹1,100 for a picture. Since February 23, the end of the fest, the service has been largely free though. One only needs to pay ₹25 to cover the cost of printing the photo out and conveyance. 'I offer digital snan services at Sangam-Prayagraj, Narmada-Jabalpur and at Haridwar. For Sangam-Prayagraj, you only have to pay ₹25 per photograph. There can be many people in one photograph also,' he says. Since February, the entrepreneur has been flooded with requests — gag and serious ones alike — for digital salvation. It has also invited several spoof spin offs. Do you have a broken leg but still wish to work those abs? Go to the digital gym where someone places your photo on a treadmill for cardio? A parody account @digitalgym01 has 608k views on their first video already. Can't drink a peg of whiskey because your parents or partner disallows you from doing so? A digital peg by YouTuber Mister Param is the way to go. Deepak's video of a snan of American influencer and wrestler Logan Paul, his wife Nina Agdal and their child Esme, has gotten nearly 5 million views. Pop-culture content creator @thepjexplained sent a collage of himself and actress Sydney Sweeny, known for her striking beauty, and requested a dip. In a television interview, Deepak said that he was using advanced technology to help facilitate the wishes of those who could not be present at Prayagraj for this festival. 'Old people who cannot travel need to be accommodated somehow. People say that I am using advanced technology for this,' he said. How kind. I ended up saving a number of his videos so my algorithm now only shows me an odd mix of F1 and Maha Kumbh reels. The ones that cracked me up the most were requests from Westerners like Alex, a woman from Kent, who paid $20 for this; and from forlorn Formula One fans who prayed for Ganga-fuelled victory laps of drivers like Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. ''Charles', 'Charles', 'Charles'. How many of you have requested him. Hope he wins the race tomorrow,' Deepak said in all seriousness, announcing the date: May 24 and location: Sangam Prayagraj. Curiosity got the best of me so I wrote to the man on WhatsApp requesting an interview. I am upset to report that I only received an automated reply from an account with a profile photo that reads 'Digital Snan Guru'. For your sake, dear reader, I have sent him my photograph and ₹25 on Google Pay, hoping to see if this experiment works. Let us if he can wipe my sin slate clean. At least this way, I will end up taking a bath. Level up Chad: A 'Chad' is usually a generic, attractive, young white man who is supposedly muscular and cocky. Now, the term is synonymous with male entitlement and is often used to describe the incel community. For example, Henry Cavill is a hot Chad. Are you wondering about what's happening on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Reddit and Discord? Pop it like it's hot, a fortnightly column from The Hindu, catches you up on everything pop culture. All you need to do, is tune in.
