VIDEO: Brad Pitt Faints at F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix – Turns Out to Be Stunt for Upcoming Film
A video of Brad Pitt fainting at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix went viral on November 23, showing the Fight Club actor collapsing on the grid.
The footage captured Pitt, dressed in full racing gear, walking unsteadily away from a crash scene before he suddenly fell to the ground. However, it was later revealed that the incident was part of a stunt for his upcoming F1 movie.
In response, APX GP, the fictional race team for Pitt’s character Sonny Hayes, issued a mock statement that left fans worried about the actor’s health.
“During Qualifying, Sonny sustained a significant impact requiring immediate medical evaluation. Incidents of this magnitude are always taken seriously, and Sonny’s health remains our top priority,” the statement said.
Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes in the highly anticipated F1 film, where he plays a retired driver who returns to Formula 1 to mentor and team up with a younger driver at APXGP, a fictional team.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film is set to release in June 2025. Other cast members include Academy Award winner Javier Bardem and Kerry Condon.
Seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton serves as a co-producer, with filming having started last year and continuing during select Grand Prix weekends this season.
