Discussion Over Brad Pitt's Look at F1: New Haircut & Color, Different Chin & Confusing Pants

Everyone is talking about Brad Pitt's appearance at an F1 event for various intriguing reasons. The Hollywood heartthrob was spotted in outfits that confused the public, and eagle-eyed observers paid closer attention to his face.

Causing a commotion online and on the racetracks of F1's Grand Prix of Great Britain, silver screen icon Brad Pitt made a striking appearance at Silverstone Circuit on July 4. While he certainly looked dapper in his race sports attire, observers couldn't help but notice a couple of differences regarding his appearance.

Videos shared online showed the "Bullet Train" star power walking to a location inside the venue while a team of people surrounded him. Sporting a shorter haircut with a light blonde color and dark roots, Pitt looked handsome in an all-white racing suit.

Covering the outfit, he donned a black hoodie and matching jacket, which he left unzipped. He paired his ensemble with black sunglasses and yellow shoes.

As he fast-walked past a Red Bull building, the charming actor took some time to look into the camera of whoever was filming him and greeted the videographer with a smile and a warm "Hello."

Adding an extra layer of sweetness, Pitt waved at an adorable little boy who stood on the sidelines with someone who looked like his dad. "Hi there," Pitt greeted as he passed by. Commenting on the race gear the little boy was wearing, he added, "Cool suit!"

Accompanying the video shared on TikTok by the official account for Formula 1 (F1) was a caption that read, "sonny hayes is in the house 😎 #f1 #formula1 #bradpitt #britishgp #silverstone #movie #sports."

F1 also shared the same video on their Instagram feed. However, this time, their caption read, "The stars have started to arrive at Silverstone! 🤩 🇬🇧 Brad Pitt is here! #F1 #Formula1 #BritishGP."

Pictures of Pitt also surfaced online, showing other moments from the eventful day. One even displayed Pitt waving as he entered a room with a "Cast Green Room" sign, indicating that the actor may have a special project in the works for his fans.

Aside from the aforementioned hints and signals seen in F1's captions and the picture of Pitt entering a room, ET confirmed that he was at the British Grand Prix, which he has attended before, for reasons related to an upcoming F1 movie he is working on.

Last year (2023), he and famous actor Damson Idris were photographed at the same event, where they were seen filming scenes for the movie.

Made in collaboration with F1, the film is set to follow Sonny Hayes (Pitt's character), a retired driver who returns to the race tracks to help out an upcoming race star on the rise (Idris' character).

While the pending movie project, which currently has no confirmed official title, is certainly something to be excited about, netizens have been focusing on other things concerning Pitt's recent appearance at the F1 event. Such observations include commenting on his hair and face.

"His face looks chubby with that hair or something is different. He doesn't quite look like himself," observed a Facebooker. On the other hand, someone who liked his new hair, commented, "Hair looks great and he looks clean, he's had some stringy, long, nasty looks over the years."

Some people pointed out specific features of Pitt's visage. "[What] [is] happening to his chin?" wondered a social media user while another expressed, "And a fresh facelift."

Others diverted their attention to Pitt's ensemble, specifically his pants. Referring to the darker gray patch of material sewn into the pants in between Pitt's legs, an Instagrammer questioned, "Why does it look like he peed himself😭😭." A TikToker chimed, "[Did] he drop something between his legs or is that just a design."

However, amid the confusion and criticism, Pitt received some love from his fans. One admirer gushed, "Omg so handsome!🥰" Another exclaimed, "WOW!" while someone else praised, "Doll face."

From the comments swooning over Pitt, it's clear that the alluring actor has not lost his handsome looks, despite what some may think. Interestingly, the "Fight Club" talent has not always used a skincare regimen to achieve his good looks.

In a 2022 interview, Pitt clarified, "Well, when I'm looked after, I do [have a good skincare routine]. I just want to keep it simple, you know what I mean? That said, I'm actually thorough now. I've been whipped into shape by my dear make-up artist friend."

Pitt said that Jean Black, his make-up artist friend whom he began working with over 30 years ago, keeps him "healthy," especially for movies. "So whenever we're on a film [...] she's like, 'try this,' and, 'try that,'" he shared.

However, while Black helps him explore health and beauty tips and tricks, Pitt clarified that his regimen is simple. He isn't even well-versed in the latest trends, like using a Gua Sha stone for facial massages, and does not consider himself a "beauty baron," as he doesn't even know what the term means.

Later on in the same interview, they discussed the matter of aging. Explaining his stance on the topic, Pitt divulged, "I don't want to be running from ageing. It's a concept we can't escape and I would like to see our culture embracing it a bit more, talking about it in those terms."

Pitt, who fascinatingly has a skincare line called Le Domaine despite not being too consumed with the beauty industry, then spoke about the unrealistic concept of anti-aging. "But what is real is treating your skin in a healthy manner. And it's something I've learnt to do for my business, but it kinda makes you feel better," he mentioned.

He noted how he grew up with a "country mentality" regarding personal skincare, citing, "you know, Dial Soap once a day and then move on." However, he highlighted how he believes society is now in a place where more people are learning the benefits of loving and looking after their skin.

"So just age healthy, age in a healthy manner," Pitt stated. Reflecting on the future as he grows older, Pitt said that he thinks about the quality of life more — a reflection also onset by the lockdown. "I think that family and friends at the end of the day is all that matters," he asserted.

Brad Pitt certainly knows how to make the most out of life, determined to live it to the fullest in whatever way he sees fit, like when he rocked a skirt at the "Bullet Train" premiere in 2022. Of his reason for doing so, Pitt stated, "I don't know! We're all going to die, so let's mess it up."
