Damson Idris recently opened up about his friendship with Brad Pitt, describing a connection behind the scenes that mirrors the dynamic between their characters in the highly anticipated F1 – The Movie. Speaking with People Magazine, Idris painted a picture of camaraderie and mutual respect that enriched their collaboration on set.
Describing their rapport as a “seamless dynamic,” Idris shared that laughter often broke out between takes. “As soon as they’d yell, ‘Cut,’ we both sat at our seats and giggled,” he recalled. Pitt, known not just for his acting chops but also for his fascinating life experiences, regaled Idris with stories about meeting cultural icons like Prince and Sidney Poitier. Idris remarked, “Oh my God, this is just too iconic, you’re a walking monument.”
Idris lauded Pitt’s humility and generosity throughout the filming process. “I always say he’s the most humble person and such a brilliant actor, and he wants you to win,” Idris said. He explained how Pitt deliberately ensured their characters were portrayed as equals, a gesture Idris deeply appreciated. “I’m incredibly indebted to him and I can’t wait for people to see it.”
F1 – The Movie, a sports drama also starring Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, and Tobias Menzies, is set to hit theaters on June 27. With this heartfelt off-screen friendship underpinning their on-screen chemistry, audiences can expect a compelling and authentic portrayal of the intense world of Formula 1 racing.
