Simone Ashley's Cut from Brad Pitt F1 Film: What Happened Behind the Scenes?
SCANDALOUS! Brad Pitt's F1 Movie Leaves Simone Ashley's Role on the Cutting Room Floor
The racing world is abuzz with drama as news breaks that Simone Ashley, the stunning star of Netflix's hit series Bridgerton, has had her role in Brad Pitt's upcoming Formula 1 movie CUT FROM THE FILM!
The 30-year-old actress was cast in the highly anticipated film back in 2024 and even made a cameo at the British Grand Prix last year. But it seems her character won't be making an impact on the big screen after all.
According to director Joseph Kosinski, Ashley's role has been reduced to mere background noise - she'll appear in the film, but without a single line of dialogue! It's a shocking twist that has left fans and insiders alike reeling.
The reason for the drastic cut? "It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use," Kosinski explained to People. "There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make into the final cut."
But despite the axe falling on her role, Ashley's talent hasn't gone unnoticed by Kosinski. He gushed about working with the actress again in the future, praising her as an "incredible talent" and "incredible singer".
So, what's next for Ashley? The Bridgerton star is keeping busy with other projects - including a return to the hit Netflix series for Season 4! In an exclusive interview with Glamour, she confirmed that Kate Bridgerton will be back, saying: "I know that I am returning. I absolutely adore the show, and the more I can be a part of it, the better."
As for her music career, Ashley revealed that she's in the process of releasing her debut pop album. And it seems heartbreak has been a major influence on her songwriting. In an interview with The Scholarly Note.com, she dished about her new music: "Sometimes I feel a song is storytelling and sometimes songs that were maybe written from a place of heartbreak end up being a dance cry banger."
But Ashley's personal life has also been making headlines. She recently revealed that she's single again after splitting from her boyfriend of three years, Constantin 'Tino' Klein. And it seems she's using her struggles to fuel her creativity.
In other news, Brad Pitt is set to star in the F1 film alongside Damson Idris, with the movie scheduled for release on June 27, 2025. The highly anticipated feature follows a retired driver who returns to mentor and team up with a younger driver at APXGP, a fictional Formula 1 team.
Stay tuned for more updates on Simone Ashley's projects and personal life - and get ready for the ultimate showdown between Brad Pitt and Damson Idris in F1!
