This is the moment A-List actor Brad Pitt ‘fainted’ at the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend.
The incident occurred Saturday ahead of the on-track showdown in Sin City where George Russell will start in pole position.
But all was not as it seemed. Fans needn’t worry about the Hollywood superstar as the stunt was all for his upcoming Formula One-based film.
Rip Brad Pitt from another angle. Wtf
