Brad Pitt ‘fainted’ at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend.
Many onlookers were shocked to see the A-List actor on the ground, seemingly needing help.
On Saturday, just ahead of the highly anticipated on-track showdown in Sin City, the 60-year-old was seen collapsing to the ground as he ‘fainted’ on the grid.
However, things were now as they seemed.
The 60-year-old made his way out on the F1 track and fell over after George Russel secured the top spot.
It turns out, he is such a good actor because that is exactly what he was doing.
Pitt was indeed only acting for his new F1 movie. He has been spotted at multiple races in 2024, as he is currently taking on the role of fictional driver Sonny Hayes.

APX GP, the fictional team Pitt’s character drives for, would even release a statement.
“During qualifying, Sonny sustained a significant impact requiring immediate medical evaluation,” it read.
“Incidents of this magnitude are always taken seriously, and Sonny’s health remains our top priority. While Sonny is otherwise stable, he will not participate in tomorrow’s race as he focuses on recovery.
“The entire team stands behind him, and we’ll provide updates when available. Joshua [Pearce, played by Idris] will race solo tomorrow, carrying the team forward.”

F1 In Las Vegas Is Back For yet Another Year Following Historic Economic Impact
Formula 1 landed on the Las Vegas strip for the second annual Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Last year’s race had a bunch of residents and tourists up in arms about the many months it took to get things ready. It took about half the time to get stuff ready in 2024.
F1 made a triumphant return to Nevada last November with the debut of a billion-dollar track. It took over twenty years for them to return to the Sin City.
The 2023 Grand Prix reportedly generated a net economic impact of $1.5 billion – making it the most lucrative event in Las Vegas history.
With the hype over the return in 2024, those numbers are sure to explode.
