Brad Pitt continues to make major waves across both cinematic and automotive landscapes. He is reprising his beloved role as smooth-talking stuntman-turned-fixer Cliff Booth in the upcoming Netflix and IMAX feature “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth“.
Prior to this, Pitt played a nomadic racer-for-hire in Joseph Kosinski‘s sports drama film “F1“, which was released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures and Apple Original Films on June 27, 2025. Born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, USA, he will turn 63 on December 18, 2026.
“The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth“
Based on a script by Quentin Tarantino, “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth” brings together two titans of cinema as acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher steps behind the camera to direct the gritty story set in Los Angeles, California, USA. Fans tracking the rollout have been treated to a steady stream of promotional photos and teasers highlighting Booth’s transition into a high-stakes studio fixer navigating the shadows of late-1970s Hollywood.
From July 2025 to January 2026, principal photography took place in Los Angeles. Joining Pitt in the cast are Carla Gugino as Toni Peters, Elizabeth Debicki as Karen Crosby, JB Tadena and Matt Groove as Mr. Verdusco, Peter Weller as Gus Booth, Scott Caan as Charlie Peters, Timothy Olyphant as James Stacy and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Roderick “Hot Rod” Harrison.
Brad Pitt’s 2023 McLaren F1 car
Away from the silver screen, Pitt’s high-octane footprint has extended into real-world motorsport history. McLaren Racing recently announced it is parting ways with five historic, fully functioning Formula One racecars from its prestigious heritage collection. Handled through elite dealer Tom Hartley Jr., the rare collection features iconic machines previously driven by legends like Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton.
Remarkably, the lineup also includes a 2023 McLaren F1 car famously tested by Pitt himself. He famously piloted the machine during a private test session at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, USA hitting blistering speeds of up to 317 km/h as part of preparations and promotional activities tied to his high-profile racing film project.
With collectors scrambling to acquire these historic F1 machines—which are expected to fetch between £5 million and £10 million each—McLaren chief executive officer Zak Brown emphasized that keeping the cars locked away in static storage does a disservice to their legacy. Similarly, Pitt shows no signs of slowing down his own creative momentum. Whether he is stepping back into the gritty underbelly of 1970s Tinseltown under Fincher’s direction or burning rubber on legendary racing circuits, the Hollywood actor remains firmly entrenched at the intersection of pop culture, elite cinema, and high-performance thrills.
