It was reportedly suggested to Brad Pitt to maintain his composure behind the wheel, amid growing concerns regarding his driving demeanor. While portraying the character of Sonny Hayes in the F1 film, Brad indulged in his racing fantasies, zipping around authentic racetracks. However, he humorously remarked that when navigating everyday streets, he ought to ease his foot off the accelerator and adopt a more sedate pace. The iconic actor confided in Extra, stating, "I'm one of those who constantly feels as though I'm on a racetrack, constantly needing to, well, calm down. I just need to relax. This year, my goal is simply to chill out, savor the scenery, and not stress over traffic jams. By the way, I'm not exactly nailing it."
Playing a retired racer making a grand return in the movie, Pitt, who was once romantically linked to Jennifer Aniston, drew parallels between his cinematic role and his own Hollywood comeback. He shared, "It's delightful... It's amusing because I witness the emergence of new generations, and their contributions are truly exhilarating. Movies capture a specific era, our era, reflecting our times... I thoroughly enjoy it, but I equally admire the work of others. It's less about seeking validation and more about appreciating the natural evolution."
Earlier, Pitt opened up about the value of learning from his missteps, displaying a refreshing honesty.
