New York.- Actor Brad Pitt received an impressive payment of 30 million dollars for starring in the movie F1, a high-budget blockbuster directed by Joseph Kosinski, centered on the electrifying world of Formula 1.
In the film, Pitt plays retired driver Sonny Hayes, a character who returns to the tracks to train a new generation of racers.
With an estimated budget between 200 and 300 million dollars, F1 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious releases of the year and has already generated great expectation at the box office. According to reports from Forbes, the amount Pitt charged not only reflects his status as a top-tier star, but could increase even more if it is confirmed that he also participates as an executive producer, which would entitle him to a share of the box office profits.
Although the payment is high, it is not the highest in his career. In 2024, the actor earned 35 million dollars for his role in the film Wolfs, reaffirming his position among the highest-paid actors in the industry.
In fact, Brad Pitt is in sixth place on the Forbes list of the highest-paid actors, surpassing figures like George Clooney, but below other giants like Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Hart, Jerry Seinfeld, and Hugh Jackman.
The film F1, backed by Apple Studios, had a stunning global premiere with revenues close to 140 million dollars in its first weekend, and is expected to become one of the biggest hits of the summer.
This all marks a notable contrast to Pitt's beginnings, when in 1991 he received barely $6,000 dollars for his role in Thelma & Louise. More than three decades later, Brad is not only still stealing cameras, but also adding zeros to his bank account.
