Brad Pitt learned daring new skill for his upcoming F1 racing movie

Brad Pitt added another skillset to his long resume in preparation for his upcoming movie about Formula 1 racing.

During the Los Angeles premiere of Young Woman and the Sea on Thursday, May 16, producer Jerry Bruckheimer spilled some behind-the-scenes secrets to People Magazine about Pitt's intense preparation for his upcoming unnamed movie.

“He trained for four or five months. He’s an amazing driver,” Bruckheimer, 80, shared.

“In fact,” he added, “some of the F1 drivers said he’s a natural athlete. He really is. He’s amazing in that car.”

When asked how fast Pitt, 60, has been driving, Bruckheimer quipped, "I can't tell you. The insurance company will kill me."

In the exciting new film, Pitt stars as an aging F1 driver who comes out of retirement to mentor a rising star, played by Damson Idris. The cast also includes Javier Bardem as the team owner.

Previously, Pitt was seen filming at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July 2023, where he donned a racing suit and mingled with real-life F1 drivers.

Speaking to Sky Sports F1, Pitt expressed his enthusiasm: “We’re just having such a laugh, such a laugh, time of my life.”
