Brad Pitt's fitness regime for 'F1' revealed
Brad Pitt is going all-in for his new Formula 1 movie, with director Joseph Kosinski calling him "in incredible shape"—a must, since driving these cars is seriously tough.
Kosinski also highlighted Pitt's natural talent behind the wheel, which turned out to be a big asset on set.
Pitt clocked over 9656km in real race cars
To play comeback racer Sonny Hayes, Pitt spent months training—logging over 9656km in real race cars.
He started with Formula 4 and 3 before moving up to souped-up Formula 2s that feel like F1 cars.
He even practiced on actual tracks and raced alongside pros during Grand Prix weekends.
Kosinski, Bruckheimer compare Pitt's dedication to that of Tom Cruise
Kosinski said Pitt's dedication reminded him of Tom Cruise's work ethic—both are all about the details and giving their best.
Even producer Jerry Bruckheimer called the training "demanding," but praised how committed and skilled Pitt was throughout.
