Nicely, right here’s one thing I by no means even imagined writing: Brad Pitt is a Ted Lasso fan. In fact, I don’t assume I needs to be that shocked. The comedy is certainly one of Apple TV+’s greatest reveals, and it looks like everybody and their mom has seen it. Nonetheless, I don’t assume usually about what A-listers are followers of, so I didn’t have this story in regards to the F1 star gushing about Ted Lasso on my bingo card, however I’m thrilled it occurred.
For many who don’t know, Pitt truly labored with a Ted Lasso forged member, Sarah Niles, on F1, which premiered on the 2025 film schedule not too long ago and is at the moment in theaters. Within the Joseph Kosinski film, the actress performs the mom of Sonny Hayes’ (Pitt) teammate, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Within the Apple TV+ present, she performed A.F.C. Richmond’s staff psychologist, Dr. Sharon Fieldstone.
Whereas the 2 had been engaged on F1, Niles stated Pitt got here as much as her to sing Ted Lasso’s praises, she informed THR:
It was nice. I met Brad at a read-through. His vitality, the way in which he got here as much as me and stated he cherished me and Ted Lasso. He wasn’t afraid to inform me how a lot he cherished the present and cherished me in it. That’s how he carried himself. He’s very open.
Nicely, that’s so candy! I’m wondering if Pitt binge-watched Ted Lasso with an Apple TV+ subscription or if he watched week to week because the episodes dropped a number of years in the past. I’d like to know what his favourite healthful Ted second is and if there are any quotes from the present that he says, too.
Additionally, did Brad Pitt assume Season 4 of Ted Lasso would occur? Now that the writers are arduous at work on new episodes, I wish to know if he’s as excited for them as I’m.
All these inquiries apart, I like figuring out that the Moneyball actor is such a fan of the present. And he’s proper to like Dr. Sharon Fieldstone. Niles performed her brilliantly, and her character made such a serious, optimistic, and emotional affect on the gamers and coaches she helped.
Together with this all being a candy and enjoyable reality about F1’s main man, Niles additionally defined what it confirmed her about Pitt as a pacesetter. She stated:
I informed him this on the London premiere. I stated: ‘When your primary forged member is open and type and desires to do nicely, everyone needs to observe swimsuit, proper?’ That’s what it’s essential to have. He’s the captain of the ship and he’s steering it.
Total, it’s clear that Niles has a variety of respect and admiration for her co-star, and looks like the sensation is mutual. Now, I can’t wait to see how they proceed to assist one another.
I can also’t wait to see Season 4 of Ted Lasso, and now I can’t assist however hope the As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood… star finds his means into it in some way. I notice that’s in all probability a brilliant far-flung dream. Nonetheless, a woman can dream (or “imagine” somewhat), and perhaps Sarah Niles may pull some strings.
It doesn’t matter what, although, I’m simply thrilled that each of those sports activities tales exist. Ted Lasso and F1 every inform epic tales about folks overcoming the percentages and reaching what appears unimaginable. They’re uplifting and action-packed, and I really like them each. So, it’s pretty to know that Brad Pitt does too.
