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.

Brad Pitt breaks silence on divorce from ex-wife Angelina Jolie as he dispells major rumour about girlfriend Ines de Ramon
Brad Pitt has broken his silence on his divorce from his ex-wife Angelina Jolie as he dispelled a major rumour about his girlfriend Ines de Ramon. On Wednesday, the 61-year-old Fight Club actor spoke to GQ magazine ahead of his forthcoming racing film F1. In his interview, Pitt appeared to downplay the end of Brangelina and said their demise was not "major". "No, I don't think it was that major of a thing," he said. "Just something coming to fruition. Legally." Pitt opened up about the struggles of his high-profile relationships being the subject of ruthless media attention for three decades, including his 12-year relationship with Jolie. '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," he said. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor said "always deal(ing)" with the attention has been an "annoyance" of "different degrees." Despite the public exposure which he described as a "nagging time," Pitt said his life now mostly feels "fairly contained." He said he felt "warm and secure" with his friends, family and loved ones, but made no direct mention of his six children. Pitt and Jolie reached a divorce settlement in December following eight years of bitter legal battles over custody of their children and finances. The Benjamin Button star began dating 32-year-old de Ramon, a jewellery designer, in 2022. The couple attended the 2024 British Grand Prix together. Pitt denied the move was a stunt to garner publicity for his forthcoming racing movie, telling GQ it was "not that calculated". He said making such calculations would be "exhausting" and "life just evolves. Relationships evolve." De Ramon divorced The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley after three years of marriage last November. The pair don't share any children. Pitt and Jolie meanwhile share Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. During their lengthy divorce proceedings, four of their six children became adults, which rendered the need for a custody agreement for them. Knox and Vivienne are the only two minors. The initial judge in their lawsuit, along with federal and Los Angeles County officials, granted Pitt equal custody of the children. A key point in the case was Jolie's sale of the couple's French winery Château Miraval to a third party. Pitt said her move was "vindictive" and sued her over it. Jolie filed a countersuit in which she alleged the actor psychically and verbally abused her and their children on a plane in 2016. Pitt strongly denied the allegations and said they were "another rehash that only harms the family". However, in 2017, he told GQ magazine he had a drinking problem at the time of the alleged incident but was sober and attending therapy. It's unclear what Pitt's relationship with his children is like, but there are major signs suggesting he's estranged from them. In January, People Magazine reported Pitt had minimal contact with the twins while he was in the throes of filming F1. According to sources, he has "virtually no contact" with his older adult children who wanted Jolie to "defend herself" during their divorce. Then months ago, Zahara officially dropped her father's surname and became Zahara Jolie instead of Zahara Jolie-Pitt. Shiloh quickly followed her sister and requested a legal name change to Shiloh Jolie as opposed to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
