Brad Pitt, the renowned actor known for films like Fight Club and Bullet Train , was seen “fainting” during the Las Vegas Grand Prix this past weekend. The incident took place on Saturday, ahead of the highly anticipated on-track action where George Russell would take pole position. Part of a scene or medical emergency? However, the drama unfolded before the race even began.

Pitt was observed collapsing onto the ground on the grid, appearing to faint. But fans need not be concerned—this was not a medical emergency, but part of a scene for Pitt’s upcoming Formula One-based film. The moment was actually a teaser for the film, with Pitt filming a scene in front of a live F1 backdrop.

In the sequence, Pitt, portraying the character Sonny Hayes, wobbled on his feet before falling onto a padded mat held by a crew member. The fictional race team, APX GP, which Pitt’s character represents, even released a mock statement that further fueled excitement for the film.
