NEW YORK – “You’re kidding,” says Brad Pitt. “Javier’s leaving?”
With that, Pitt is out of his chair and bear-hugging Javier Bardem. Seconds later, Kerry Condon and Damson Idris pop up from their seats and smother the smiling Spanish actor.
A group interview with the core cast of “F1 The Movie” (in theaters June 27) is indeed interrupted when Bardem apologizes that he has to dash to the airport.
“Love you bro, thank you for everything on this movie,” Pitt tells Bardem before turning back to the group. “You know he’s going to play Max Cady in the new Apple TV+ series adaptation of ‘Cape Fear,’” says Pitt, rubbing his stubbled chin. “He’s going to kill it.”
Any doubt about the genuine chemistry between this quartet is put to rest by this impromptu moment in a hotel meeting room.

Brad Pitt, Damson Idris & Greg James go wheel‑to‑wheel in F1 simulator arcade and play “Unpopular Opinion” in an F1 showdown!
Brad Pitt revealed he wants the chance to improve on his Formula 1 debut after just falling short of his 200mph target during a run in Lando Norris’ 2023 McLaren.
The star of F1: The Movie, Pitt got behind the wheel of a fully-fledged F1 car for the first time as part of a Testing of Previous Cars programme for McLaren at Circuit of the Americas.
Pitt, 61, plays returning racer Sonny Hayes in the F1 blockbuster, released globally this week, but the cars driven by the A-lister and his APX GP team-mate Damson Idris are based on F2 models.
Taking to the track in Austin, Pitt had been given advice by Lando Norris, whose 2023 MCL60 he then got to experience first-hand – but was left wanting more.
“I got to hit 197 (miles per hour) this week,” Pitt told the Beyond the Grid podcast when talking about the experience.
