Isn't he way too old to play an F1 driver? Like... 20+ years over their average retirement age?

[beysactingcoach]

75% of their 9-figure budget going to the de-aging technology

i really wish they had gone with an unknown who looks kinda liek the racer they are portraying

[beysactingcoach]

I mean it’s fiction so technically it can be anyone and likely a battle of getting rights if they attempted to use an actual driver but even when the average age of an F1 driver was older, Pitt is still too old.

He shoulda sat this one out and just took an EP check

[varioussaints]

That was my first question, aren't both of them too old? Pitt in general and Idris for a supposed rookie? At least Idris can look younger with the right styling, but Pitt... 😬

It's not Idris Elba, it's Damson Idris from Snowfall.

[varioussaints]

Well that's embarrassing. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks so much bb, I've never seen Snowfall but it sounds very interesting after googling it! It just makes Pitt's casting even weirder to me, he's going to look absolutely haggard next to Damson Idris.

[froggster]

But Damson Idris is also already closer to 'retirement' age than 'rookie' age for an F1 driver

[pseudonygma]

I was gonna ask at his age, wouldn't he likely die of a heart attack? I don't know much about F1 but I do know that it physically takes so much out of drivers that they've been known to lose a severe amount of weight after a race.
