Actor Brad Pitt was surprised by the passionate display of affection from a Mexican female fan.

In late October, Brad Pitt appeared at the Mexican Formula 1 Grand Prix to film a scene for his new movie. As he ran onto the field with his crew to prepare for filming, fans rushed out to greet him. A woman ran up to the Hollywood star, grabbed him by the neck and kissed him hard twice on the cheek. She laughed excitedly and took a selfie while Brad looked a little embarrassed. However, “Mr. Smith” skillfully escaped and continued walking as if nothing had happened. Since then, Brad has been surrounded by security.

When the video went viral on the Internet, many viewers were angry and criticized the female fan’s actions. “This is completely disrespectful. You are invading his personal space”, “She is crazy! Poor Brad. That is harassment”… fans wrote.

Meanwhile, a source close to Brad Pitt revealed to Dailymail that Brad did not feel uncomfortable. “Brad is very comfortable and never reacts negatively to positive fan interactions”, the insider said. “Although it may surprise Brad, he still appreciates his loyal fans. He does not feel threatened and does not see any serious problems. At the end of the day, a kiss on the cheek is definitely better than a punch in the face”.

Brad Pitt is currently filming F1, in which he plays retired racer Sonny Hayes – who returns to the sport after being encouraged by a friend. Production began last summer at Silverstone in England, with 10 teams and drivers, organizers and spectators involved to bring authenticity to the story. F1 is scheduled to debut in North America in June 2025.

The actor is currently dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon. His girlfriend attended the British Formula 1 Grand Prix with Brad in July 2023. She has also recently attended many red carpet events with the Bullet Train actor, including the Venice Film Festival in Italy in September.
