The 61-year-old Hollywood heartthrob was spotted looking dapper in an eye-catching lilac suit as he stepped out to promote his highly-anticipated new movie, F1: The Movie. Brad, who stars as troubled race car driver Sonny Hayes, jetted off to Mexico City for a photo call on Monday, leaving thousands of fans scrambling to catch a glimpse of him.

As he posed for snaps with his fellow co-stars, including Damson Idris and Kerry Condon, it was clear that the actor was in great spirits. But what really got tongues wagging was Brad's outfit - a white T-shirt and lilac suit combo that harked back to the early noughties. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to rock a pair of sunglasses with their suit?

But it wasn't just Brad's fashion sense that had fans buzzing - his on-screen chemistry with co-star Damson Idris has been getting rave reviews. Critics are calling F1: The Movie the "Top Gun for racing fans" and praising its epic action sequences, sound design, and cinematography.

Social media was flooded with glowing reviews from several critics, including Bernard Smalls of iOne Digital, who said: "Buckle up #F1TheMovie is an high octane thrill ride. It’s one of those films that you go to the movies for. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris are both dynamic."

Rotten Tomatoes' Erik David wrote: "Joseph Kosinski’s #F1TheMovie hits the gas and doesn’t stop. The races are epic, the sound design, editing, cinematography, performances and music are all top notch." And Drew Taylor of The Wrap said: "#F1TheMovie is absolutely incredible. It’s one of the coolest, most entertaining movies you’ll probably ever see..."

Brad seemed in great spirits as he took time for interviews, signed autographs and took photos with fans

But what really got fans talking was Brad's comments about his highly-publicized divorce battle with Angelina Jolie. In a recent interview with GQ magazine, he seemed to downplay the eight-year legal saga, saying: "No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing... Just something coming to fruition. Legally."

However, insiders claim that Brad's comments were just a damage control move to quell speculation about his past relationship with Angelina. A source close to the actor told The Scholarly Note: "Brad is trying to put the past behind him and focus on his new projects. He knows that the divorce battle was a major controversy, but he wants to move forward and not dwell on it."

And move forward he has - Brad's new movie is set to release later this month and promises to be an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. With its high-stakes racing sequences, heart-pumping action, and even some romance thrown in for good measure, fans are already salivating at the thought of seeing it on the big screen.

But what really sets F1: The Movie apart is its impressive production values - the film was shot at various F1 races around the world over the past few years, giving viewers a real-life glimpse into the high-speed world of Formula 1 racing. And with a lifestyle sponsor like Tommy Hilfiger and producer Lewis Hamilton on board, it's clear that this movie means business.

In fact, fans are already going wild for the trailer - which shows Brad's character boasting an attitude and an addiction to gambling with a need for speed on the track. But as he teams up with a young talented driver (played by Damson Idris), things get complicated - and romance is just around the corner.

As one fan gushed: "The trailer gave me chills! Let's race!" And another added: "This movie is going to be epic!"

Brad offered a wave to supporters, who were sent into a frenzy following his arrival

So, buckle up and get ready for the ride of a lifetime. With Brad Pitt at the helm, F1: The Movie promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience that will leave you breathless. Don't miss it when it hits theaters later this month!
