Ollie Bearman looked dapper in an ice blue blazer, white shirt, and cream pants at the F1 premiere. He was accompanied by his girlfriend, Alicia Stent-Torriani, who looked stunning in a black outfit.
When the Haas driver was asked by a reporter if he would like to star in the film's sequel, Bearman replied: 'Yeah, I mean the only sad thing about that film is that I am not in it at all because I was not in F1 when it was filmed.
So hopefully there's F1 2 and hopefully I can be the main character.'
The video was shared on Formula 1's official X page. Reacting to it, an F1 fan wrote, 'Keep pushing, Ollie.' Another said, 'Can't wait to see you on the big screen soon.' One more commented, 'Excited for what's next.'
F1 stars Brad Pitt as a retired Formula One driver who is brought back by an old friend to mentor a rookie, played by Damson Idris. The film has been directed by Joseph Kosinski and is set to hit theatres on June 27.
It has been co-produced by Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton and features several current F1 drivers in guest appearances. The film was shot using real F1 cars and on actual race tracks.

He said, 'There are some things that aren't fully accurate… like the standard movie scene where they're going side by side in the straights and suddenly the other guy finds another gear.
But that's a typical movie thing, and I think it makes it super captivating for the audience. There's a small minority of us that will maybe find that a bit untrue, but I think for the majority it's going to be a fantastic movie.'

Joseph Kosinski Director Of F1Reveals Why Bridgerton Actress Simone Ashley Role Was Taken Out From Final Cut
Washington : 'Bridgerton' fame actress Simone Ashley has been cast in the high-octane racing drama 'F1' alongside Brad Pitt and Damson. However, despite shooting some scenes in the movie, her role was cut in the final cut, reported People Magazine. When asked about the change to Ashley's part, director Joseph Kosinski tells People, "It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use. There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make it into the final cut." Kosinski, though, lauded the talent of the actress Simone and expressed his wish to work with her again. "But Simone, she's an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer, and I would love to work with her again," Kosinski adds as quoted by People. Simone Ashley has not commented on her reduction of the role yet. Earlier this month, while speaking to ELLE as quoted by People, Ashley said making F1 was a "crazy" experience. "I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie. I got to experience many Grand Prix. I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again," said Ashley as quoted by People. The 'Bridgerton' actress previously told Who What Wear magazine, as quoted by People, that the production on the film 'F1' had been "going for years" as she revealed how long her role was in the works. "I met for this movie, I think, before Bridgerton even came out. It's been a long time, and you know, it's Damson and Brad's movie. I'm just so grateful that I can be part of it. You had to work as a team. Sometimes we literally had one take for certain shots. Like, you'd see on the call sheet eight minutes to get this one thing because we were shooting alongside the races," said Simone Ashley as quoted by People. According to an official synopsis, Pitt will be playing the character of Hayes in F1. Hayes was Formula 1's "most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career." "Thirty years later, he's a nomadic racer-for-hire when he's approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world," the synopsis continues. "But as the engines roar, Sonny's past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone," read the synopsis as reported People. The film also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles and Samson Kayo, while Lewis Hamilton is one of the producers. 'F1' is in theatres on June 27.

‘She is the real deal': Internet reacts as Sharon Stone, 67, dares to bare in a see-through top for magazine shoot
Sharon Stone, 67, left the internet stunned with her latest photoshoot. In the new cover for Vogue Adria, the Hollywood star sizzled in a sexy and bold photoshoot in a see-through top, with a number of men trying to reach for her. The dramatic new pictures set the internet talking about the ageless beauty of the star, who has been in the industry for more than three decades. (Also read: Brad Pitt and girlfriend Ines de Ramon giggle on date night at F1 premiere in New York. See pics) In one of the pictures, Sharon wore a sheer dress as she struck a sultry pose as she sat on the shoulder of a male model. Several other men reached for her in the picture. In another picture, she was seen sitting on a chair, smiling, as multiple men sat around her. The actor wore a jacket and a pair of jeans in the picture. Reacting to the dazzling shots, a fan commented: 'She is the real deal there!!!! Bright and gorgeous.' Another fan wrote, 'This woman can never not look hot!' 'A total queen!' read a comment. A second fan agreed and said, 'Legend. She has been the coolest to do it for years!' During the interview, Sharon opened up about pay disparity in Hollywood and if at all, she has seen any change in the industry. She said, "It's much better today. Many have changed the way they work, and many of those 'old studio people' are gone. The industry is changing, but not completely. As for directing, I wanted to do it once but never got the chance. Very explicitly — 'great presentation, but a woman can't direct.' End of story. But I've always believed that when some doors don't open, there's usually a reason. I don't think I would have achieved as much in humanitarian work if those doors had opened.' In the last few years, Sharon has advocated for cancer research and diagnosis. The actor had also opened up about her experiences with a breast tumour and a uterine fibroid, which were initially misdiagnosed. The actor will be seen next in the third season of the hit HBO show Euphoria, starring Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney.
