Brad Pitt needs to ‘try and be calm' on the road
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles
Brad Pitt has admitted he needs to 'chill' while driving.
The Hollywood star - who plays racer Sonny Hayes in new blockbuster F1 - got to speed around racetracks for the movie, but he acknowledged he should learn to slow down when he's out and about.
Noting he is 'trying to be calm in traffic', Brad told Extra: 'I'm one of those that feels like I'm always on the racetrack and I need to, like, chill. 'I just need to chill. So that's this year, just trying to chill.
Enjoy the sights, don't sweat the traffic. 'I'm not doing very well, by the way.'
The 61-year-old actor's character in the movie is a retired driver making his return to the sport, and Brad has seen parallels with the film world.
He said: 'It's nice... It's a funny thing because I see the new generations coming in and it's really exciting what they're doing, and the movies are about a place in time, in our time, and they reflect our time…
'I really enjoy it, but I so enjoy what other people are doing, so it's less of a hunt and more of an appreciation, you know, as the natural evolution happens.'
Brad recently opened up about having to learn from his mistakes, as he appeared to reflect on lessons learned following his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
He told Entertainment Tonight: 'o matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from (it) and move on.'
Brad added about making an error: 'It'll lead to the next success.'
The A-lister and and Angelina concluded their divorce in December 2024, more than eight years after the actress, 50, first filed to dissolve their marriage in September 2016.
The couple, who starred together in Mr and Mrs Smith, share six children – Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
Speaking about what keeps him grounded at this point in life, Brad said: 'At this age, you see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back.'

Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals what ended Sylvester Stallone feud
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Arnold Schwarzenegger 'hated' Sylvester Stallone until they went into business together. The action stars had animosity towards one another at the height of their success in the 1980s and 90s but when the Fubar actor was launching his Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, he was approached and asked if his rival could be part of the venture, and he realised it was t i m e t o end the 'crazin e s s ' between them. Speaking to Andy Cohen on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, Arnold, 77, admitted: 'We hated each other. 'We were kind of attacking each other and doing nasty things and saying nasty things about each other and all these stupid things. 'All of a sudden, I started working with Robert Earl and Keith Parish to create the Planet Hollywood franchise, those restaurants. 'The next thing I know is I get a phone call from my lawyer, who was also Sly's lawyer, he said, 'Arnold, is there any kind of room for Sly in Planet Hollywood?' ' The Terminator actor recalled thinking: 'That's actually a good idea, because it could bring us together. And I wanted that. At that point I had grown out of my craziness.' The restaurant chain launched in 1991 in New York City with the backing of the future Expendables co-stars and other famous faces, and Arnold is proud of how they 'made it work'. He added: 'Sure enough, we made it work. 'And Bruce Willis became part of Planet Hollywood, Whoopi Goldberg became part of Planet Hollywood, Chuck Norris… It really was kind of an international cast.' Arnold and Sylvester, 77, are now friends and recently reflected on how their rivalry was 'very helpful' to both their careers.

John Legend laments Kanye West's ‘devolution'
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles John Legend is saddened by the 'devolution' of Kanye West. The 'All of Me' singer was once close friends with the 'Gold Digger' hitmaker but their bond has cooled during the past few years after the rapper's bizarre behaviour and controversial statements caused points of conflict in their relationship. John told The Times newspaper: 'I think he was very different back then. We were both very idealistic and had big dreams, and we shared a lot of the same goals.' 'He had so much optimism. It does seem, and I don't want to characterise him too much, it seems he's lost some of that optimism.' Legend – whose relationship with West's now-ex-wife Kim Kardashian was once so close that he and wife Chrissy Teigen used to go on double dates with them – doesn't understand how the 'Jesus Walks' rapper could turn into someone so unrecognisable. He said: 'He's definitely said things that are pretty inexcusable, and that's why I've distanced myself from him.' 'But I also know that he's not the whole of who he is. He's not just the sum of the things he says in public.' 'He's also been very open about his struggles with mental health, and I think that's something we should take seriously.'
