Last year at the US GP, popular actor Brad Pitt snubbed legendary reporter and commentator Martin Brundle for an interview. Many fans slammed Pitt for his ignorant act. Apparently, Pitt was doing a movie based on F1 and he visited the GP for research purposes. Meanwhile, another legendary actor, Michael Douglas recently attended the Spanish GP and showed great appreciation for Brundle.

Last year, Brad Pitt attended the US GP regarding research purposes for his next movie on F1. Meanwhile, F1 reporter, Martin Brundle tried to talk to him and the actor initially snubbed him. Then, Brundle asked him about the movie and the actor said, “No, not yet, top secret.” Brundle then hilariously said, “Obviously they’re known as Pitt stops, if they don’t want you to talk to Brad Pitt.”
After that incident, many fans slammed Pitt for disrespecting a legend like Brundle. Later, Pitt sent the commentator an apology note, as Brundle tweeted, “Got a note from Brad Pitt explaining what happened with our near miss on the Austin grid. Unnecessary, but nice of him. Absolutely nobody is obliged to talk to me on the grid, but as I endeavor to make 10/12 minutes of live and unscripted sports TV I’m obliged to at least ask.”
Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones recently attended the Spanish GP, where he met Brundle. The reporter tried to ask the actor a question, but Douglas interrupted him and said, “Let’s stop for a second and say what an excellent job you do week in and week out. I’m so impressed both here at the pit and with your commentary. You’re amazing!” In reply, Brundle said, “You made my day, thank you very much.”
