Brad Pitt 'Collapses' on Set While Filming Intense Car Crash Scene for F1 Movie

Brad Pitt caused a moment of alarm on the set of his upcoming Formula 1 movie when he collapsed during the filming of a dramatic car crash scene.

The 59-year-old Hollywood star, dressed in full racing gear, stumbled and ultimately fell onto a padded mat held by crew members after attempting to walk away from the simulated crash site. The incident, which occurred on the track at the Los Angeles Grand Prix, prompted immediate medical evaluation for the actor.

The highly anticipated F1 movie, co-produced by Pitt and F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, is set to hit theaters in June 2025.

Billed as an action-packed summer blockbuster, the film features real-life F1 drivers alongside Pitt, who has been driving a specially modified F2 car for the production. The story follows Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes, a retired driver making a dramatic return to the racing world.

Pitt has been a regular presence at Grand Prix events throughout the filming of the movie, attending races to immerse himself in the world of F1 and shoot scenes that blend seamlessly with the real-life racing circuit.

Just days before the incident, Pitt was spotted on the track during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where he joined fans and drivers in celebrating George Russell’s pole position victory.

The collapse happened while Pitt was filming a critical sequence for the movie. In the scene, his character is involved in a high-stakes crash, forcing him to navigate the emotional and physical aftermath.

Spectators and crew members described the moment as unsettling, as Pitt was seen unsteadily hobbling away from the crash site before falling onto the mat. Although it was a controlled stunt, Pitt’s apparent exhaustion and collapse added an unexpected layer of tension to the set.

Medical professionals were quick to assess Pitt, ensuring he was not seriously injured. While the actor has yet to comment on the incident, sources close to the production suggest it may have been caused by the intense physical demands of filming combined with the emotional toll of playing such a high-pressure role.

Pitt has long been known for his commitment to authenticity in his performances, often performing his own stunts and pushing himself to the limit for the sake of realism.

The F1 movie boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Kerry Condon, Sarah Niles, and Idris Elba. With its combination of high-speed racing, dramatic storytelling, and star-studded performances, the film is shaping up to be a major cinematic event.

Adding to the excitement, the movie incorporates appearances by real F1 drivers and behind-the-scenes support from the racing community, further enhancing its authenticity.

Fans of the actor and the sport alike have expressed concern for Pitt’s well-being, but also admiration for his dedication to the project.

The incident has only heightened anticipation for the movie, as audiences eagerly await what promises to be a thrilling portrayal of the world of Formula 1 racing.

As production continues, the team behind the film is reportedly taking additional precautions to ensure the safety of the cast and crew.

With Pitt at the helm of this ambitious project, the upcoming F1 movie is set to deliver both adrenaline-pumping action and compelling human drama when it hits theaters in 2025.
