Brad Pitt, 59, looks like he’s ageing in reverse as he films his new F1 movie at Silverstone

Brad Pitt looked youthful as he was pictured filming his new F1 movie at Silverstone Circuit on Thursday.

The actor, 59, donned a blue jacket along with white trousers and a t-shirt as he filmed at the iconic race track.

The Oscar winner will reportedly race against Lewis Hamilton in the next British Grand Prix as part of the filming.

Brad, who played the main character in 2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – about a man who ages in reverse – hid his eyes behind a pair of silver shades.

The secret to Brad Pitt’s eternally youthful appearance may have to do with post-divorce tweaks since his split from Angelina Jolie, an expert has suggested.

Laura Kay, cosmetologist and founder of Laura Kay London, told FEMAIL that the Oscar-winning actor’s young looks can be explained by a combination of a good skin care regimen, plus a few procedures here and there.

After stunning the world with his smooth complexion and radiant smile, many fans have drawn comparisons between the actor and one of his most famous roles, Benjamin Button.

Exuding youthful energy, Laura explained how she believes the Oscar winner has managed to age in reverse.

She said, “Brad seems to have invested very subtly in some ‘tweaks’ to maintain a youthful look.

“He has reduced fine lines today and his skin is dewy and fresh. Therefore, he can have botox to reduce wrinkles and facial peels will help to rejuvenate his skin.

“He could also have focused on certain areas including the neck, cheeks and his hairline/hair which are very noticeable signs of aging – and with a skilled practitioner people will hardly notice the difference, but it will look transformative.”

She added that if Pitt has opted for a few nips and tucks, it may be related to his split from Angelina Jolie, his partner of 12 years.

The couple, who share four children, married in 2014 but split two years later, with Jolie citing “irreconcilable differences.”

In light of the split, Laura explained, “Surgery and post-divorce adjustments are officially on the rise, and it’s not just a trend among women. Men also book in for botox, fillers, facial peels, eyebrow treatments and hairline work, to name a few.’

In addition to cosmetic procedures, Laura suggested that Pitt also take good care of his skin with a strict maintenance routine.

“He will also prioritize a skincare regimen with day and night cream to hydrate the surface layers of the skin,” she explained.

Brad has a bronze tan and he will be using SPF to protect his skin from UV rays. But in addition to preventing cancer risks, a good quality SPF can also prevent premature skin aging, which will reduce sagging skin, age spots and fine lines.

“He looks younger than ever and will inspire thousands of grown men.”

Brad will reportedly race against Lewis Hamilton in the next British Grand Prix, risking billions of pounds worth of cars.

The actor has been given special permission to whiz down the first parade lap at Silverstone as part of a new film shoot, according to The Sun.

Formula 1 driver Lewis, 38, is executive producer of the blockbuster, made by his new production company, Dawn Apollo Films.

In the upcoming movie, due out next year, Brad will play an experienced F1 driver named Sonny Hayes, who comes out of retirement to mentor an up-and-coming motorist.

MailOnline has reached out to representatives from Brad, Lewis and Apple TV+.

Last June, Deadline revealed that Apple had won the rights to the movie in a reported $130 million deal.

The untitled film is being directed by Joseph Kosinski, who recently helmed the critically acclaimed sequel Top Gun: Maverick.

The character of Brad will make one last attempt at racing glory as he attempts to mentor a young driver against some of the fastest racers in Formula 1.

The upcoming movie is shaping up to have an action movie dream team working under the hood, as super producer Jerry Bruckheimer is attached to the project, as is screenwriter Ehren Kruger.

In December, it was reported that Brad’s latest movie had sparked a fierce bidding war between a series of movie studios and streaming services.

The upcoming movie is shaping up to have an action movie dream team working under the hood, as super producer Jerry Bruckheimer is attached to the project, as is screenwriter Ehren Kruger.

Lewis himself is no stranger to Hollywood, having previously made cameos in Cars 2, Cars 3 and Zoolander 2, and in March Apple secured the rights to a documentary about his life and racing career.

When asked about moving to Hollywood in 2019, Lewis said, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be good at movies, but I’ll try.”

Brad has reportedly long been interested in doing a racing photo with Kosinski, and the duo were previously in talks to make an early cut of what would eventually become the hit Ford V Ferrari racing film.

An early draft of the project was titled Go Like Hell and Kosinski directed Brad with Tom Cruise.

While racing and car-focused movies have a mixed success story with audiences, Ford V Ferrari’s commercial performance and critical approval suggest they could still be a hit under the right circumstances.

Brad received some of the best reviews of his career for his 2019 Quentin Tarantino movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie and earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

He followed it up with the critically acclaimed but subpar sci-fi epic Ad Astra.
