There was a different buzz in the paddocks last weekend in the US GP. Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt visited the F1 grid to do some research for his new movie project in collaboration with Lewis Hamilton. The Fight Club star met and interacted with several people in the F1 paddock.

Having previously worked in movies like the Cars series and Zoolander 2, Lewis Hamilton is now looking forward to working with his own production house. The Mercedes driver revealed he has opened a new production house named Dawn Apollo Films. The main reason for the same is to have “meaningful conversations and impactful storytelling”.

Additionally, the 7-time world champion appeared on the popular TV host Jimmy Kimmel’s show. He shared a myriad of experiences like getting knighted, being a fashion icon, and also working with Brad Pitt.

When Kimmel asked him about his experience meeting Brad Pitt and working alongside him, Hamilton said, “Oh man, it’s been such an amazing experience meeting Brad. So basically we’re doing the movie, new Formula 1 movie and Joe Kosinski and Brad are at the racetrack with us. Brad is the star and I’ve just started a production company because I’ve loved movies.”

He further added, “My whole life, I’ve been massively inspired by so many movies and it’s a dawn of a new age, that’s why it’s called Dawn Apollo.”

It’s not easy being Lewis Hamilton. The Mercedes driver still looks at the top of his game. Despite having a dismal season with the Silver Arrows, Hamilton is confident of bouncing back again next season. Despite all that being his primary focus, in his recent interview, the Mercedes star revealed how he feels about acting in front of the big screen.

Lewis said, “I’m fascinated by it, I really am. I would love to try it one day it but I’m very conscious of the fact that it takes ten thousand hours to master something. I’m very stubborn. If I’m going to do something, I want it to be really good.”

He further said, “I don’t have to be the best at everything, necessarily, but I know how much hard work these actors have put in. I don’t want to be one of those celebs that just moves into a different field and thinks he can easily do it.”

Lewis has previously lent his voice in Disney’s Cars movie series.
