It is not unknown that Lewis Hamilton‘s radius goes beyond the F1 track. From sports to music to fashion and entertainment. And now gliding into the film industry, Hamilton is co-producing a movie starring the legendary Brad Pitt. The F1 movie titled ‘F1’ has been a hype among the fans of both celebrities. Although, the title and poster reveal at Silverstone on Friday bagged mixed reactions; Hamilton is optimistic that ‘F1’ which is to hit the theatres in 2025 would do well.

However, there has always been a question – When will the 7x World Champion explore acting? Given his busy schedule throughout the year due to the F1 calendar, it seems impossible. Shooting a film would keep him away for at least two or three weeks, which would surely affect his standing on the Drivers’ Championship Table. But, Hamilton is not completely ruling out the possibility of acting in the future. Adding more content to this recurring topic of conversation, the 39-year-old revealed an insight. What did the F1 icon say?

“I’ve been taking these acting lessons…”: Lewis Hamilton unravels his big movie plans

Previously, Lewis Hamilton had revealed that he was interested in acting in movies. “I’m fascinated by acting, would love to try,” these were his words back in 2022. And it seems his feelings towards the noble art of acting haven’t changed at all. Right ahead of the Drivers’ Parade in Silverstone, Hamilton shared a piece of inside information. He stated: “I’ve been taking these acting lessons and preparing for this movie role.” This could mean that the Briton has been taking acting lessons from Brad Pitt while working on the F1 movie project. It seems Hamilton has his eyes set on a new passion he’s acquired but didn’t get the opportunity to explore.

Keeping his faith in his loyal fans, Hamilton continues to say, it is the love and support of the fans that gets him going. True indeed! His most devoted LH Army will support him through all his undertakings. Meanwhile, speculating on Hamilton’s statement on acting lessons; Could it mean, he wants to become an actor after his retirement? Or is a new script of Top Gun lying on his table?

To compensate for the opportunity he missed back in 2018, Lewis now has his own production company, Dawn Apollo Films. And his first project would be with Joseph Kosinski himself. Circle of life is it?

It seems like he’s learning from his past decision and giving performing arts a try. Remember, when Lewis Hamilton turned down Kosinski’s $1.49 billion project? Yes, that’s the missed opportunity that seems to have stirred the Briton to take up acting classes amidst the roaring competition of F1.

From turning down “Top Gun: Maverick” to producing a film, Lewis Hamilton has seen it all

Director Joseph Kosinski offered Lewis Hamilton a role in “Top Gun: Maverick,” thanks to his friend Tom Cruise. However, he had to decline because he was competing for the 2018 World Championship, and filming required two weeks on set. Hamilton, who had no acting experience, was worried about not performing well.

However, things have changed. Hamilton’s new project with Apple Studios highlights his inclination towards the world of ‘lights-camera-action’. Although the 39-year-old has yet to set foot in the arena of actors, one can vouch for his success in that field as well. Hamilton’s driving force is nothing but honest dedication to the task he undertakes.

While he remains committed to racing, Hamilton is also exploring his passion for acting. While it’s still uncertain when he might begin acting in films, it might be sooner rather than later. With his project ‘F1’ sending waves across the globe, it will be interesting to see how well the movie does at the box office. What are your thoughts on Lewis Hamilton’s acting plans? Share below.
