Brad Pitt reportedly stayed late during a visit to the Aston Martin garage during the United States Grand Prix last month.
The 58-year-old Oscar winner has spent some time at the big Formula 1 event preparing for a new role, but is said to have left the team “stressed” during the stay.
He said the fencing star and his team were there longer than expected and team boss Mike Krack admitted it “messed up our schedule” according to Motorsport Magazine.
‘It messed up our schedule’: Aston Martin bosses claim Brad Pitt, 58, ‘left the team stressed after overstaying his welcome’ during the Grand Prix visit.
He will play a Formula 1 driver in an upcoming role and went to the Dallas Circuit of the Americas in preparation.
But he seems to have ruffled some feathers during the visit, as Krack told the sports magazine: “You’ve been with us for a very long time, much longer than expected. To be honest, it’s even messed up our schedule made.
“We were a bit stressed at the time. We will support the project as best we can and see how we get involved. Team owner Lawrence Stroll was also involved,” he continues.

Uncomfortable! He apparently ruffled some feathers during the visit, as Krack told sports magazine: “You have been with us for a very long time, much longer than expected. To be honest, it even ruined our schedule.
McLaren boss Andreas Seidl also seemed enthusiastic about the upcoming project, hoping it would become a “top gun for cars”.
The new production will begin during the 2023 championship and will have seven-time Mercedes world champion Lewis Hamilton as producer.
And according to Deadline, streamer Apple Studios has bought the new film ahead of its release.
While attending the Grand Prix, Brad left fans unhappy when TMZ released a video of him doing Sky Sports commentator and former racing driver Martin Brundle.
Busy: “We were a bit stressed at the time. We will support the project as best we can and see how we get involved. Team owner Lawrence Stroll was also involved,” he continued (Mike Krack pictured in July).
The jock tried to get the actor’s attention as he made his way through the crowd, but appeared to be smothered in the awkward moment when Brad said his new film was “top secret”.
But the pundit later took to Twitter to reveal that Brad had come forward to explain the snub, sharing that it was “nice” of him to message him.
He wrote: “I received a message from Brad Pitt explaining what happened with our near miss on the Austin roster. Unnecessary but nice of him.
“Absolutely no one is obliged to talk to me on the starting line-up, but as I’m trying to do 10/12 minutes of live sports television, I’m obliged to at least ask.”
