Brad Pitt Reveals the Reason Behind His New Buzzcut as He Teases New Role

Published: June 17, 2025

Brad Pitt shared the true reason behind his new buzzcut in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the New York City premiere of his latest movie, F1.

"I just finished a job," Pitt teases. "It's for a character we did."

On the red carpet, Pitt teamed his shaved head with a navy blue double-breasted suit, a crisp white shirt and a satin pocket square.

Pitt was joined at the premiere by his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, with the couple making a rare appearance on the red carpet.

De Ramon, 32, showed her support for her partner in a sheer halter top and long, feathered skirt. She accessorized the look with a white Chanel purse.

Elsewhere during his chat with PEOPLE, Pitt opened up about his favorite memories from filming the movie, in which he plays a Formula 1 driver called Sonny Hayes who is getting back in the driver's seat after nearly 30 years.

"I got a lot," Pitts tells PEOPLE. "I got a lot, but every time I got in the car, these tracks are just like hallowed ground. Silverstone. Spa in Belgium was the most memorable. Abu Dhabi. We really got spoiled."

The star also shared what it was like having to switch from driving at super high speeds in the movie to driving in everyday life.

"There's a strange calm in the car when you're hitting everything," he says. "You're hitting your breaking points and hitting your turning points. It's such a piece. I can't even describe it. Yeah, it's incredible."
