In a recently unveiled teaser for the upcoming film “F1,” Brad Pitt, at 61, captivates audiences by showcasing his extensive tattoo collection. The 30-second clip features Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes—a retired Formula One champion—reclining shirtless on a sofa, revealing intricate designs that span his chest, abdomen, and arms.
Among the visible tattoos are several personal tributes, including initials of his family members and designs by his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie. Notably, Pitt has Jolie’s birth date inscribed in Khmer script on his lower abdomen, a nod to Cambodia, the birthplace of their son, Maddox. Other tattoos include a tornado on his side, various designs on his chest and arms, and inscriptions of the words “Alpha” and “Omega,” along with literary text from poet Rumi.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for “Top Gun: Maverick,” “F1” delves into the high-speed world of Formula One racing. Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes, returns to the circuit to mentor a promising rookie driver, portrayed by Damson Idris. The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies. Notably, seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton serves as a producer, ensuring the film’s authentic portrayal of the sport.
The teaser, set to the pulsating rhythm of Queen’s iconic hit “We Will Rock You,” offers a glimpse into the film’s adrenaline-fueled narrative. Pitt’s character instructs his engineer, portrayed by Condon, to “build a car for battle,” to which she responds, “How do I make that safe?” Hayes retorts, “Who said it had to be safe?” This exchange underscores the film’s exploration of the perilous and competitive nature of professional racing.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Pitt’s personal life has often been in the spotlight, particularly his relationship with Angelina Jolie. The couple, once dubbed “Brangelina,” were together for 12 years and share six children. Their union faced challenges, leading to a protracted legal battle that spanned over eight years. In December 2024, they finalized their divorce, bringing closure to a tumultuous chapter in their lives.
“F1” is set to hit theaters on June 27, 2025, promising an exhilarating ride for audiences eager to delve into the world of Formula One racing.
