Lewis Hamilton’s Not-So-Fast, Not-So-Furious Road to Hollywood
Some mentions of Brad in Lewis Hamilton’s latest Vanity Fair interview.
As a racer, you’ve been both a rookie and a veteran. How did you use your experience to help Brad and Damson better portray these characters?
We did a huge session in London where they were just firing lots of questions at me, about my upbringing, how it was in karting, and the pressure from parents. Ehren was able to utilize that in writing and working on Damson [Idris]’s character. For Brad [Pitt], we spent a lot of time together, and he would ask, “How’s this?” We drove around the track together. He already had talent; he knew how to take corners already, which was quite impressive. Whereas Damson was really starting as a rookie. Damson didn’t watch racing, so it was a real culture shock for him, whereas Brad watches racing, so he had an idea already. They bring those two characters to life so well.

Brad Pitt Talks Motorcycles, Designing Cashmere Shirts, and His Favorite Color
The actor founded luxury clothing label God’s True Cashmere with his friend Sat Hari in 2019. Discussing a new Harley-Davidson collaboration, the duo explain how the quixotic side quest became a smash success. “We just do what we like,” Pitt says.
In F1, Brad Pitt plays a journeyman racing driver, Sonny Hayes, who happens to dress a lot like Brad Pitt. In part because in a couple of scenes, Sonny is in fact wearing garments designed by Pitt himself.
“I’m not above self-promotion!” Pitt tells me with a chuckle. Sonny’s shirts—and, for that matter, the shirts Pitt wears most days—hail from God’s True Cashmere, the small-batch luxury clothing brand the actor quietly cofounded in 2019 with his friend Sat Hari.
