Netflix has unveiled the trailer for «The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth» — a spin-off of Quentin Tarantino’s cult film «Once Upon a Time in Hollywood». Brad Pitt reprises his leading role, while David Fincher directs the film. Tarantino himself serves as both screenwriter and producer this time around.

The new movie continues the story of Cliff Booth — a former stuntman and longtime friend of actor Rick Dalton.

The story is set in 1977, eight years after the events of «Once Upon a Time in Hollywood». Cliff has left his career as a stuntman behind, lives in Los Angeles and now works as a bartender. In his spare time, however, he helps people in the film industry deal with delicate situations.

Cliff is approached by television star Charlie Peters, played by Scott Caan, together with his agent Karen, portrayed by Elizabeth Debicki. The former stuntman is once again drawn into the world of show business as he sets out to solve a problem involving his acquaintances.

Brad Pitt is not the only cast member returning to his role. Timothy Olyphant reprises his part as actor James Stacy, a character from the original film. The new movie also features Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller and other actors.

As a reminder, Brad Pitt won the «Oscar» in 2020 for his performance as Cliff Booth in «Once Upon a Time in Hollywood».

«The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth» premieres on Netflix on December 23.

Brad Pitt, 62, is the cover star of the new issue of Esquire and has given one of his most candid interviews in recent years. During the conversation, the actor opened up about deeply personal subjects — a family crisis, suicidal thoughts, his relationship with alcohol, and the death of his mother.

Pitt admitted that despite his naturally optimistic outlook, there was a period in his life when the emotional pain became so overwhelming that he began to see death as a possible release from it.

«I had never had suicidal thoughts — except for one brief period. It’s simply not in my nature. But at that point, I saw no way out. The pain was so unbearable … I wasn’t going to do anything, but I could feel the cold steel of a bullet in my head, and it felt like relief. That was when I thought, “Now I understand suicide — as a search for release from pain”», the actor recalled.

According to Pitt, his instinct for self-preservation ultimately took over.

«I think we have incredible survival instincts. Mine kicked in immediately. But … none of this is easy», he added.

When the journalist asked whether those feelings were connected to problems with his children, Pitt simply replied, «Family issues» — choosing not to elaborate further.

The actor’s revelation comes against the backdrop of a years-long family crisis following his split from Angelina Jolie. The actress filed for divorce in September 2016, but the proceedings were not finalized until December 2024 — more than eight years later. Meanwhile, the former couple’s legal dispute over the French winery Château Miraval is still ongoing.

Pitt and Jolie share six children — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. In recent years, several of them have chosen to drop their father’s surname. In August 2024, Shiloh officially changed her name to Shiloh Jolie. In 2026, Maddox, Zahara, and Vivienne also filed similar applications.

Another candid subject Pitt addressed in the interview was his relationship with alcohol. The actor has previously spoken about his struggles with addiction, attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and giving up alcohol completely. He has now revealed that after seven years of sobriety, he began drinking again — though in a far more restrained way.

«I was sober for seven years, and then I fell off the wagon. But now it’s in a much more moderate form. A few times I got a little too confident and realized, no, this isn’t good for me. Not in large quantities», he explained.

Asked whether he can now allow himself a glass of wine, Pitt replied:

«I can have a couple. But not many. I have to approach it professionally».

Loss was another deeply personal subject explored in the interview. Pitt’s mother, Jane Etta Pitt, died last year. Since then, the actor has been visiting his father, William, in Missouri more often. They spend evenings sitting on the porch, listening to the cicadas and occasionally talking about her.

«We’re country people. We don’t get too deep into conversations. But every now and then, one of us will say a single sentence that cuts straight to the heart — and then we move on», the actor shared.

The losses Pitt has endured have changed the way he views grief and loneliness.

«Grief is probably the greatest equalizer among human emotions. Loss is undoubtedly the most profound trial a person can experience. And the loneliness that can follow is the greatest torture», he said.

At the same time, the actor believes that such a state is not something one can simply «get out of» — it has to be lived through.

«I don’t see it as something you need to get out of. You have to go through it — keep trying again and again, to the point of complete exhaustion, and then try once more. And one day, I simply woke up and it felt as though the world was a little sunnier and the air a little sweeter. Small doses of that feeling», Pitt recalled.

«Grief, once you’ve lived through it, leaves an enormous void, but at the same time, it leaves behind a profound beauty. It’s a painful beauty, but it is beauty nonetheless», the actor concluded.

According to Western media reports, Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has no intention of getting married again, despite his long-term relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon.

The couple has been together since 2022. Sources close to the actor say their relationship remains calm and harmonious: the two live together and occasionally appear side by side at social events. At the same time, despite their closeness and mutual support, marriage is reportedly not something Pitt is currently considering.

According to insiders, the 62-year-old actor reevaluated his attitude toward marriage following his painful divorce from Angelina Jolie and is not eager to take on new commitments. Among the reasons cited are the lengthy and highly publicized divorce proceedings, which began in 2016 and were finalized only in 2024, as well as ongoing family tensions.

After their separation, Jolie and Pitt spent years in court resolving issues related to custody of their children and the division of assets, including the French estate Château Miraval. Insiders claim that period was emotionally exhausting for the actor and significantly influenced his decision to step away from the idea of marriage altogether.

Media outlets also note that Pitt’s relationship with his children – Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne – remains strained. Sources say communication has weakened considerably, while some of the children have publicly distanced themselves from their father’s surname.

Against this backdrop, Ines de Ramon is said to remain a source of stability and support for the actor. Nevertheless, despite the harmony in his personal life, Brad Pitt reportedly has no plans to change his marital status and is not ready for a third marriage at this time.

The first trailer for The Adventures of Cliff Booth, the highly anticipated spinoff of the Oscar-winning film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, has been released online.

The new film is a direct continuation of Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 hit, but this time the story is entirely centered on the charismatic stuntman Cliff Booth, played by Brad Pitt.

In this installment, the main character is without his loyal partner Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio). On screen, he is accompanied by the mysterious heroine played by Elizabeth Debicki. What exactly they have planned remains a secret, as the filmmakers are keeping the intrigue intact.

In addition to Pitt and Debicki, the cast includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Timothy Olyphant, Scott Caan, and others.

This time, the director’s chair is occupied by David Fincher, while Quentin Tarantino focused solely on the screenplay.

Interestingly, the trailer premiered during the Super Bowl. All scenes containing strong language, drug use, and nudity were cleverly masked with special effects that mimic film scratches.

The Adventures of Cliff Booth is scheduled to premiere later this year and will be released exclusively on Netflix.

On the eve of the premiere, a glittering party took place at the legendary Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles to celebrate the release of «Jay Kelly».

For the occasion, the 61-year-old Pitt opted for a relaxed look: a bright green hoodie, light blue jeans, and white sneakers. Ines, meanwhile, chose a more sophisticated outfit – a form-fitting beige dress paired with a Chanel handbag.

It’s worth recalling that the couple’s romance began in 2022. According to insiders, the actor is happy in his relationship but isn’t rushing to make it official – his past breakup with Angelina Jolie reportedly left too deep a mark.

Brad Pitt has long been known for his passion for real estate, architecture, and design – a fascination reflected in his impressive collection of homes in Los Angeles, southern France, and New Orleans. He seeks out and acquires properties of exceptional architectural value, including historic estates, and takes an active role in their restoration and redesign. His portfolio includes the legendary D.L. James House in Carmel Highlands, purchased for $40 million, a $4 million estate near Santa Barbara, the renowned French villa Château Miraval worth around $60 million, and a recently sold residence in Los Feliz for $33 million.

This time, the 61-year-old actor acquired a Spanish-style villa in the prestigious Outpost Estates neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills for $12 million. Built in 1989, the property previously belonged to Dave Keuning, guitarist of The Killers, and his wife, a designer.

Spanning roughly 8,600 square feet, the estate features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a private movie theater, a spacious living room with panoramic windows leading to the pool, and a landscaped garden complete with a vegetable patch. From its windows, one can enjoy sweeping views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.

The purchase was driven not only by aesthetics but also by practical concerns. In June, Pitt’s former $5.5 million Los Feliz residence was burglarized. The new home offers a far greater level of privacy: hidden behind lush greenery, equipped with modern security systems, and accessible through a guarded entrance.

According to insiders, Pitt was determined to find a secluded and secure retreat – and this villa proved to be the perfect choice. Some speculate it may soon become a «family nest» for Pitt and his partner Ines de Ramon, with whom he is increasingly seen in public.

Hollywood actor Brad Pitt, currently riding high on the success of his new film «Formula 1», has for the first time opened up about his struggles with alcohol abuse.

According to the 61-year-old star, after his high-profile divorce from Angelina Jolie, he went through a difficult period, feeling lost and depressed. This led him to seek help from an Alcoholics Anonymous group.

«I was on the edge. I needed to reset myself somehow, to find inner balance. I was consuming everything I could get my hands on. Those were hard times», Pitt said in an interview on the podcast «Armchair Expert».

Brad noted that the supportive and honest atmosphere of the AA meetings played a key role in helping him overcome his personal crisis.

«I saw people openly talking about their mistakes, fears, hopes. They shared their pain, but also knew how to laugh at themselves. That really made a strong impression on me», the actor admitted.

Now Pitt has overcome this harmful habit – and perhaps his happy relationship with 32-year-old Ines de Ramon has also contributed to this change.

Brad Pitt is back on the covers — the Hollywood actor is the star of the latest GQ issue, appearing on the cover and in a photoshoot styled in a rugged, working-class aesthetic.

Photographed by Nathaniel Goldberg, Pitt is captured in strikingly tough looks: a worn leather jacket, patched jeans, heavy-duty gloves, and a knit beanie.

He’s seen sitting in a dilapidated interior, posing with a serious gaze as if he just stepped out of an auto shop, or looking straight into the camera like a seasoned man who knows the value of his tools.

The reason for his GQ feature is his new film project about Formula 1 — the most ambitious in his career. He not only stars in the lead role but also serves as a producer.

During filming, Pitt actually drove a Formula 1 car himself, reaching speeds of up to 290 km/h. The scenes were shot on real Formula 1 tracks. The actor did not use stunt doubles for key scenes.

To ensure Pitt was truly capable of handling the car at a high level, professional racer and project collaborator Lewis Hamilton put him through a test at the Porsche Experience track in Los Angeles. Pitt handled the car confidently and later rode in a high-speed passenger lap with Hamilton — an experience that, according to Pitt, sealed his passion for racing.

Before each track session, the actor would get nervous, like before a real competition. The final day of filming was especially intense — he admitted he couldn’t sleep from excitement and the weight of the moment.

However, Pitt’s love for speed began long before the movie — he grew up on motocross tracks in Missouri. Later, he moved to amateur racing circuits and always dreamed of combining racing and acting in one project.

Pitt says the sensation of speed feels meditative. Driving in those conditions gives him a powerful emotional high — a mix of physical tension and inner freedom.

But in his conversation with journalists, Pitt also touched on personal matters.

In the interview, he commented for the first time on his highly publicized divorce from Angelina Jolie, which was legally finalized at the end of 2024. According to the 61-year-old actor, it didn’t feel emotionally dramatic but rather marked the close of a chapter:

«No, I don’t think it was that significant. Just something that came to a legal end,» Pitt said, adding that he didn’t feel any particular relief after the split.

To recap, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie began dating in 2005. The actors married in 2014, but two years later, Jolie filed for divorce. The main reason was Pitt’s behavior on a private jet, where, according to Jolie, he raised a hand to one of the children.

The divorce involved lengthy legal proceedings over child custody and division of assets. The couple has six children: adopted Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, and biological children Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox.

Since 2022, Brad Pitt has been dating 32-year-old Ines de Ramon. In the GQ interview, he also spoke about their relationship. The couple made their first public appearance in July 2024 during a Formula 1 Grand Prix. A journalist suggested their romance might be a PR move ahead of the film’s release, but Pitt quickly shut down the speculation:

«No, man, you don’t plan it like that. If that’s how you live, oh God, how exhausting would that be? If you live your life making such calculations? No, life just moves forward. Relationships move forward,» the actor shared.

Pitt shows he’s not only returning to cinema, but also embracing a new chapter in life — both on-screen and off.

Warner Bros. has unveiled the first official trailer for the sports drama Formula 1, starring Brad Pitt in the lead role. The Hollywood actor portrays seasoned driver Sonny Hayes.

The film’s plot follows the story of a former racer who survived a horrific crash and left the sport. However, fate gives him another chance when he is invited to mentor a young rising star ahead of a crucial Grand Prix.

Interestingly, according to the announcement, Pitt performed almost all of his own stunts — from high-speed racing to intense action scenes.

The drama is directed by Joseph Kosinski, the filmmaker behind the hit Top Gun: Maverick, while seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton serves as one of the producers and also makes an on-screen appearance.

The cast also includes Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and others.

The film is set to premiere in U.S. theaters in June 2025.

Recently, the Academy announced the contenders for the planet’s top film award — the Oscars 2025. However, it’s impossible not to notice that Hollywood star Angelina Jolie and her biopic Maria were absent from the list of nominees. In the film, Jolie not only played the lead role of opera diva Maria Callas but also produced the movie.

This news came as a shock to the 49-year-old actress, as Jolie had hoped that the jury would recognize her film, which marked her long-awaited return to the big screen after a multi-year hiatus.

According to insiders, the celebrity was disappointed because she put tremendous effort into promoting the movie.

«The Academy’s snub devastated Angie, who was so eager to be nominated. She’s heartbroken. Look at how much she’s done for the film. She appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon — her first late-night appearance in over a decade. She even attended the Gotham Awards. She was on all these magazine covers. The lack of recognition is painful for Angelina, and she’s undeniably upset,» an insider told PageSix.

According to insiders, the reason for the jury’s «snub» lies in Jolie’s public and prolonged conflict with Brad Pitt.

«It just shows that Hollywood is siding with Brad. The Golden Globes showed that the foreign press loves her, but that’s not Hollywood. Nobody was going to go against Brad and vote for Angelina… people just love Brad,» the source said, as quoted by the media.
