I just came off a movie and it was for the character,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In F1, Pitt plays a veteran driver returning to the sport alongside newcomer Damson Idris. The role required Pitt to drive high-performance vehicles on racetracks \u2014 an experience he found surprisingly meditative. \u201cThere\u2019s this strange calm that happens in the car and this total focus and presence that I\u2019ve never experienced from anything else,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<p>While the racetrack brings peace, the actor admitted his real-life driving style could use some work. \u201cI\u2019m one of those that feels like I\u2019m always on the racetrack and I need to, like, chill,\u201d Pitt joked. \u201cThat\u2019s this year \u2014 just trying to chill. Enjoy the sides, don\u2019t sweat the traffic. I&#8217;m not doing very well, by the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film also leans into humor, including lighthearted jabs at Pitt\u2019s age, which he embraces. Reflecting on his career, he said, \u201cI really enjoy it, but I so enjoy what other people are doing&#8230; it&#8217;s less of a hunt and more of an appreciation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>F1 speeds into theaters on June 27.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brad Pitt made an appearance at the New York City premiere of his upcoming film F1, where he opened up about his experience behind the wheel and reflected on this chapter of his life.
