During the F1 premiere in Mexico City on June 9, a reporter for Entertainment Tonight referred to Pitt’s May 28 GQ interview — in which he declared that his life currently feels “fairly contained”, “pretty warm” and “secure” — and asked him what makes him feel “so grounded.”
“No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from [it] and move on,” the actor shared. “It’ll lead to the next success.”
“I think [when] you get to my age, you really see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back,” he continued. “Friends, family, and that’s it.”
“From there, we get to go make things,” he added. “So it’s a pretty simple, I think, equation.”
CBR attended a press conference for F1 ahead of its theatrical release, where Kosinski, producer Jeremy Kleiner and stars Pitt, Idris and Kerry Condon discussed the intense training for the film. While the thrills come from the actors actually being in the driver’s seat during 180-miles-per-hour races, the heart of the film comes from the characters’ spirits and emotional journeys. They also revealed the most surprising things they learned about Formula One during the process of filming, and how the film was “nothing like” Pitt ever experienced in his career.
There’s a roar beyond the grandstands—something atavistic, something mean and mad and on the prowl. Those of us standing on the pit wall of Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit snap our heads expectantly in the direction of the sound, holding our collective breath for a T-Rex to emerge, or for Brad Pitt’s F1 car to come screaming down the start-finish straight.
Whaaaa! There it is, sliding around the track’s final turn and onto the stretch. And in three…two…one, Pitt’s car rockets by with the speed and power of a fighter jet, belching flames out of its tail as it thunders through turn one and disappears from view.
Our hair blown back, I hear someone say, “I will never get sick of that sound.”
For those wondering: Yes, Brad Pitt is really driving the car in this movie. In fact, Brad Pitt and Damson Idris really driving the car has become, in some ways, the point of the movie—or at least the emotional nucleus during production.
Rosé got “Messy” in the new music video for the latest single as part of F1: The Album.
Last week, Atlantic Records announced the companion album to Brad Pitt and Damson Idris’ new F1 film, along with confirming which artists were involved with the project. Alongside Rosé, Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Raye, Burna Boy, Roddy Ricch, Dom Dolla, Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer and Peggy Gou will be featured in the star-studded, 17-song soundtrack.
The music video for “Messy” features never-before-seen footage from the forthcoming racing film with a romantic Las Vegas twist. “Baby, I’m obsessed with you and there’s no replica / Maybe if it’s messy, if it’s messy, if it’s messy / Then you know it’s really love,” the Blackpink member sings in the track.
