Brad Pitt breaks silence on Angelina Jolie divorce settlement
After nearly a decade of legal wrangling, Hollywood star Brad Pitt has finally opened up about his long-standing divorce from Angelina Jolie. The 61-year-old actor spoke candidly to GQ magazine on 28 May, offering a rare glimpse into the closure of one of Tinseltown's most high-profile splits. When asked if the December 2024 divorce settlement brought him any relief, Pitt kept it cool and understated. 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' he told GQ. 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' Brad Pitt's words suggest that the conclusion of the divorce was more a formality than an emotional milestone, according to USA Today. This comes after an eight-year court battle that captivated fans worldwide. Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, ending a relationship that began over a decade earlier on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith . The legal saga included disputes over their shared properties, custody of their six children, and the finances of their winery, Château Miraval. Angelina's lawyer described the settlement as a relief for the actress. 'Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over,' said James Simon. 'She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.' Brad Pitt also addressed his new relationship with Ines de Ramon, which became public at the 2024 British Grand Prix. He dismissed any suggestion that the appearance was a calculated move. 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' he said. 'If you're living — oh my God, how exhausting would that be? Life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' Brad Pitt's recent work on the film F1 has reignited his passion for acting. Filmed in front of real Formula 1 crowds worldwide, the movie promises to be a thrilling ride. 'It just reinvigorated the whole thing again for me,' Pitt shared. The film, set for release on 27 June, has been hailed by GQ as 'the greatest racing movie of all time.' Co-stars and director Joseph Kosinski praised Pitt's dedication and energy throughout the shoot. The children of Pitt and Jolie are also making headlines. Their daughter Shiloh legally dropped 'Pitt' from her name in May 2024, becoming Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. Vivienne followed suit, removing 'Pitt' from her Playbill credit for the Broadway musical The Outsiders . This shift reflects the ongoing personal changes within the family, even as the legal battles fade into the past. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki Join Brad Pitt in David Fincher's Next Untitled Project
Actors Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki have joined Brad Pitt in an upcoming Netflix film, whose details remain largely under wraps. The project centers around Cliff Booth, the stuntman character portrayed by Pitt in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This new story is set in a later time period than the original movie. While details are tightly guarded, sources say the film draws from a script Tarantino wrote but chose not to direct. Pitt reportedly convinced him to let director David Fincher take over the project, which was greenlit earlier this year. The film's storyline may include elements from Tarantino's 2021 novel, which expanded on Cliff Booth's backstory, including the controversial death of his wife. However, it is unclear how closely the movie will follow the book. Debicki and Caan's roles have not been confirmed. Sources suggest the script includes two major female characters — one running a bar and mud wrestling venue, and another described as a trophy wife — but it's unknown whether Debicki will play either of these roles. For Caan, this marks a reunion with Pitt, having worked together in the Ocean's Eleven trilogy. Production is expected to begin in California this July. Netflix has not released any official statements regarding the new cast members. Scott Caan, son of late actor James Caan, is known for his work in television, including CBS's Hawaii Five-0 and Fox's Alert: Missing Persons Unit. His film credits include Varsity Blues and Gone in 60 Seconds. Elizabeth Debicki gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of Princess Diana in Netflix's The Crown. She has also appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Tenet, and the upcoming Maxxxine. Both actors are represented by CAA, with Caan also managed by Linden Entertainment and Sloane Offer.

Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki join Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sequel
Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki have joined the cast of the new 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' movie. The pair will join Brad Pitt in David Fincher's follow-up to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film, which starred Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it is unclear who Caan and Debicki will play in the upcoming movie. The story is said to feature two key female roles, 'one who runs a bar and mud wrestling establishment and one a trophy wife' but it has not been revealed if Debicki will play once of these or an entirely new part. It will be a reunion for Pitt and Caan, who previously worked together on the 'Ocean's' movie series. Brad, 61, will reprise his role as stuntman Cliff Booth, in the upcoming film, which Fincher will direct for Netflix from a Tarantino script. It's said that Tarantino retains the rights to the characters in 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood', while Sony - which financed and released the movie - retains the film itself, which is why the upcoming project is not seen as a sequel or prequel despite using the Booth character. It's unclear if Leonardo DiCaprio will return as Western TV star Rick Dalton. Tarantino won't be at the helm, which means the film won't count as his 10th and final film. The director had had been set to reunite with Pitt - who also appeared in 'Inglourious Basterds in 2009 - for third collaboration on 'The Movie Critic. According to Deadline, Tarantino has "simply changed his mind" after delaying production to rewrite the script. Now, he's expected to go back to the drawing board in a bid to find a firm idea for what will be his final film.

Brad Pitt Says F1 Drivers Face Harsher Spotlight Than Hollywood Stars
Brad Pitt Says F1 Drivers Face Harsher Spotlight Than Hollywood Stars originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Brad Pitt knows a thing or two about life in the spotlight but even he admits that Formula 1 drivers might have it worse. Advertisement In a revealing interview with GQ Italia, the Hollywood icon reflected on what he's learned from spending time around the F1 paddock, particularly while filming the upcoming Formula 1 movie. The project stars Damson Idris as rookie driver Joshua Pearce, with Pitt playing his mentor. But it's what Pitt saw behind the scenes that truly surprised him. 'There's a sense of isolation,' Pitt said. 'Even in loneliness, when things seem to go in the wrong direction. It's an effort and a continuous confrontation with oneself to keep the spark alive.' While actors are no strangers to pressure, Pitt believes Formula 1 drivers are under an even more brutal microscope. Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt ahead of Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Zawrzel/NurPhoto via Getty Images 'They're in the spotlight like few others,' he explained. 'It is a sport followed by many people and many believe that they can do their own business just because they run fast on the highway. They take an absurd amount of criticism. It upsets me. They must have the thickest skin, even more than us.' Advertisement It's a powerful observation coming from one of the most recognized faces in entertainment. Drivers like Lewis Hamilton, who is also a co-producer on the film, have often spoken about the mental toll that comes with not only competing at the highest level of motorsport but doing so under constant public judgment. As anticipation builds for Pitt's F1 movie, his comments offer a rare look at how much respect the actor has gained for those who live life at 200 mph, under pressure most can't begin to understand. And if Pitt's words are any indication, this film might be the most authentic portrayal of the sport yet.
