Pitt's latest public appearance was at the European premiers of F1 in Leicester Square, London where he stood for photographs alongside Tom Cruise and the film's cast.
In his new flick, he plays veteran driver Sonny Hayes, who comes out of retirement to rescue buddy Ruben Cervantes' (Javier Bardem) ailing race team, years after a near-fatal crash.
British F1 ace Lewis Hamilton is a producer and the film, which has garnered mixed reviews, is directed by Joseph Kosinski and the rest of the team behind Top Gun: Maverick, except Tom Cruise.
Sonny is shown as a washed-up 'old man' who has fallen into gambling and only rediscovers his love for the sport when he faces competition from a younger driver.
In an interview with Hollywood podcaster Dax Shepard, Brad recently admitted he was similarly lost after Angelina, 50, filed for divorce in September 2016.

She cited irreconcilable differences around the same time as the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services investigated Brad for alleged child abuse after an incident on the family private jet.
It was reported that the star had lost his temper when their son Maddox stepped in to stand up for his mother during a fight.
One source claimed the actor 'was drunk' and the situation quickly 'escalated'.
During the probe, Brad voluntarily completed drug testing.
Meanwhile, two of his kids stopped using his last name.
Brad, who was raised in Springfield, Missouri, was cleared of all allegations.
But his personal life was in turmoil, and led to him seeking professional help.
However, he recently revealed he was rapped for discussing his enthusiasm for Alcoholics Anonymous in a New York Times interview.
Explaining why he wanted to talk about the closed-door sessions, Brad told Dax's Armchair Expert podcast: 'It was a men's group, it was AA, it was when I was first getting sober.
'I just thought it was incredible, men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches and a lot of humour.
'I thought it was a really special experience.
'So I do this interview, and I got admonished by someone from the higher-ups, saying, 'It's anonymous'.'

Max Verstappen reveals why he snubbed Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt's F1 movie
Max Verstappen has revealed the heart-warming reason why he hasn't gone to see the new F1 film which stars Brad Pitt and was produced by Sir Lewis Hamilton. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick 's Joseph Kosinski, F1 tells the story of a veteran racing driver (Pitt) who returns to Formula 1 to drive alongside a hotshot rookie played by Damson Idris. Remarkably, the $300million (£218m) budget movie was filmed in and around the F1 paddock over the past two seasons, with real-life drivers and team members making cameos. Seven-time world champion Hamilton serves as a producer on the film, helping to coach the actors on the track and consulting on the race scenes and dialogue in order to make it as authentic as possible. However, Verstappen, arguably the sport's biggest name and best driver, has tried to keep his involvement in the project to a minimum. The Telegraph report that the four-time world champion, who has been linked with a shock move to Mercedes, declined to film a scene in a nightclub with Pitt. The 2025 grid were invited to a special screening of the film ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, which every driver attended aside from Verstappen and Aston Martin's Lance Stroll, with the Dutchman also absent for the official premiere in New York last week. But when asked why he skipped the premieres, the Red Bull driver had a pretty good reason, telling The Sun: 'Being authentic is not something I have to try and focus on. It's just who I am. 'I don't like to be on the red carpet and dress up in a suit. I don't like to interact with people that I don't really know, and have a fake smile and fake chat. It's horrible, I just don't enjoy it. 'I prefer to hang out with my friends and spend time with my little family. I also have a lot of other projects going on outside of F1. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'So any extra work like red carpets is not what I want to do. I'm at a stage of my career where I've achieved so much professionally. 'I'm just focusing outside of it now, like my big passions to make life more enjoyable and not just being performance driven.' Verstappen recently became a father for the first time after his girlfriend Kelly Piquet gave birth to a baby girl, Lily, in May. The 27-year-old is also a 'bonus dad' to Piquet's five-year-old daughter Penelope and admits he is loving life as a dad to two girls. More Trending 'It's super cute. I'm trying to spend as much time making it all work,' he hadded. 'With the nappies, some are more smelly than others!' Verstappen is currently in action at the Austrian Grand Prix where a win could see him close the gap to title rivals Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

BBC will air Neil Young's Glastonbury set in sudden change of schedule plans
It has been announced that Neil Young's Glastonbury performance will be aired on the BBC tonight after all. Neil Young has made a full 180 decision over his headline performance at Glastonbury, which is taking place at the Pyramid stage later tonight. In a whiplash-inducing turn of events, the BBC will in fact air the musician's performance, after it was announced earlier this week that Young had requested his set not be televised live. A BBC spokesperson said: "We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.' Viewers will be able to watch the performance on iPlayer's Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as BBC Two and Radio 2. On-demand plans continue to be finalised, reported The Mirror. Young announced last year he would play Glastonbury in 2025, only to retract his decision upon learning of the BBC's involvement. However, he later changed his mind. BBC presenter Colin Paterson explained earlier this week: "I asked [event co-organiser] Emily Eavis what was going on and she says she does not believe that Neil Young's set will be broadcast by the BBC. "There's been all kinds of backstage wrangling and negotiations, but as things currently stand, Neil Young's headline set on Saturday night will not be broadcast by the BBC. Instead, they'll be showing Charli xcx." When Young played Glastonbury in 2009, only five songs were televised. Speaking at the time Mark Cooper, then executive producer of the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, said: 'Neil Young's career has been conducted on his own terms. They believe in the live event and retaining its mystery and that of their artist. "They have decided to make one song available online over the weekend to give a flavour of his set. That's Rockin' in the Free World and that's their decision. You probably won't find too many Neil Young performances available freely on TV or online.' In another development, fans are now fearful after his last two European shows in Bergen, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark, were hit with sound problems. Fans complained about a poor vocal mix during the show, and some were also unhappy that on at least one of those shows, Neil didn't have any large screens for fans to see the action from the back of the crowd. BBC bosses are said to be treading carefully after the star pulled out of the festival earlier this year citing concerns about the BBC's 'corporate control'. He said in January: 'We were told that BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being.' A BBC spokeswoman said: 'We aim to bring audiences as many performances as possible from the Pyramid Stage, and our schedules and plans continue to be finalised, right up to and during the festival.' Young has voiced his concerns, making principled stands recently. He blocked his music from Spotify for two years, saying a podcaster on the platform had spread vaccine misinformation.

The Pitt: show with 95% rating still not available in the UK
The Pitt is one of the most acclaimed shows of 2025 - but you can't legally watch it in the UK 😫 Sign up to our Arts and Culture newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The Pitt is one of the most acclaimed shows of 2025. Noah Wyles returns to the world of medical TV for the show. It has a 95 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans of medical dramas continue to miss out on one of the most acclaimed shows of the year - at least in the UK. The Pitt debuted in America back in January 2025 but it still doesn't have a release date on this side of the pond. Noah Wyles, who was one of the stars of ER back in the 1990s and 2000s, has returned to familiar ground for this acclaimed Max show. Unlike other HBO shows it didn't immediately come to Sky Atlantic and Now TV. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But why can't you watch it yet in the UK? Here's all you need to know: What is The Pitt about? Noah Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor in The Pitt | John Johnson/HBO The show, which brings together former ER collaborators Noah Wyles and R. Scott Gemmill, is a fresh twist on the medical drama. The synopsis for the first season on Rotten Tomatoes reads: 'A realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.' Across its 15 episodes, the show charts one single 15 hour shift in the titular hospital. Each episode covers roughly one hour of said shift - similar to how 24 worked back in the day. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It has a 95 per cent certified fresh rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes - and an equally high 85 per cent audience score on the popcornmeter. So it seems like a real must watch. Why can't you watch The Pitt in the UK? Despite its critical acclaim and popularity with viewers in the US - it has already been renewed for a second series - it can't currently be watched legally in the UK. The show premiered on the streaming service Max (set to revert back to the name HBO Max soon) in January and it is not one that we have on this side of the pond yet. Unlike other HBO and Max shows, The Pitt has not been picked up for coverage by Sky Atlantic/ Now TV - which is a tad unusual. We reached out to Sky to see if they would be broadcasting it, but they did not respond. One wrinkle is that HBO Max is finally set to launch in the UK in 2026. It is set to bring together Max's streaming library with Discovery+ and TNT Sports - with further details in due course. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Unlike other European countries, HBO Max had not previously launched on our side of the pond due to Warner Brothers Discovery's deal with Sky - which is why shows like Game of Thrones and The White Lotus are broadcast on Sky Atlantic. However a deal has been struck and will see the ad-supported version of Max bundled in for Sky customers at no extra cost at launch, paving the way for its release in early 2026. The Pitt could be being saved as a potential draw to get people to subscribe to HBO Max upon its launch in the UK - but that is speculation on my part.
