Brad Pitt and his British colleague Damson Idris starred in a moment that left the cars behind and the asphalt to enter an equally competitive field: sport and its legends. This happened in the midst of the stir generated by his most recent work on the big screen, F1: The movie.
During a talk in the AGREE to disagree program of Entertainment, the two stars starred in a series of passionate debates that captured attention not only for their humorous tone, but also for the firm positions they defended.
The conversation took an interesting turn when a name appeared that transcends borders: Lionel Messi. While they argued about the supremacy of athletes in different disciplines, Idris made his opinion clear: “The best football athlete is better than the best American football athlete”. Pitt soon responded, defending with passion the sport that dominates in the United States: “No, you can’t say that”.

How is Brad Pitt’s character about Sonny Hayes, in the movie F1
Both are promoting the movie F1, in which Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a veteran pilot who, after suffering an accident, returns to the clues to assume the mentor’s role of a young character embodied by Idris. Although the plot is fictitious, the film is set in real events of Formula 1, taking advantage of emblematic circuits such as Silverstone and Las Vegas, and even using an authentic garage to represent the fictional team APXGP.
In fact, John Kosinski, director of the film, said: “Every time we consulted with team leaders about how someone like Sonny should handlethat already happened for everything, the answer was the same: ‘You should talk to Fernando (Alonso)’. And so we did. ”
“The truth is that Fernando Alonso does it spectacularly well. Without a doubt, both he and Lewis (Hamilton) have a natural talent to act. Once I heard Alonso say that every story needs an antagonist, and I think it was not a coincidence. Fernando would be an incredible villain for a movie,” he added.
