The two actors were spotted on the set of their untitledFormula 1 (F1) racing filmin New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The pair were photographed filming inside and around Pappas Drive-In & Family Restaurant on Friday.
Pitt, 60, took on a casual outfit for the scene, wearing a denim button up top with a matching pair of jeans with a bright green puffer vest. His hair was neatly combed to the side and he accessorized the look with a brown belt and golden watch as he was photographed sitting inside the restaurant and leaving through its doors.
Meanwhile Bardem, 54, was spotted looking dapper in a dark orange suit jacket with matching slacks and a black shirt underneath. His leather dress shoes, black leather watch and black leather belt appeared to make his ensemble seem all the more lavish.

The two actors have been working on the film for months. Back in July, 2022, Pitt — who plays a veteran F1 driver emerging from retirement to mentor and team with a rising star — wasphotographed in a racing suitwalking the Grand Prix grid with real-life F1 drivers.
“Welcome to the grid, APXGP 👀#F1,” the official Instagram account for Formula 1 wrote alongside aseries of snapshotsof the fictional team on the grid. The shot included Pitt andDamson Idris, 32, standing alongside F1 world championMax Verstappenand Ferarri’s Carlos Sainz.
Pitttold Sky Sportsof the film: “I would be a guy who raced in the ’90s. He has a horrible crash and kind of craps out and disappears and then is racing in other disciplines.”
TheBig Shortstar also revealed in the interview that he’d never driven a racing car on a track before. However, he has “spent the last 20 years on bikes on tracks, so that helped a lot. He added that it was “really humbling” to have some of the drivers showing him the way on the track.
“I don’t know if you can call mine a hot lap, I call it kind of a warm lap,” he said of his driving skills. “I’ve taken a few tours unintentionally through the grass, it’s been such a high.”
