Amidst an intensifying legal struggle over a French winery with ex-spouse Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt remains unperturbed and immersed in his newest film project overseas, according to a recent insider revelation.
With his 60th birthday on the horizon, Pitt has chosen to focus his energies on the production of his upcoming Formula 1 movie rather than entangle himself in the protracted litigation concerning Chateau Miraval, the disputed winery.
A source disclosed to RadarOnline that the father of six has been thoroughly enjoying the film's international production, having recently shot scenes at the British Grand Prix alongside co-star Damon Idris.
The "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" actor expressed his excitement during an interview with Sky Sports F1, stating, "I have to confess, I’m a tad euphoric at the moment. This experience is absolutely wonderful." He further revealed his joy over the project, describing it as "an absolute riot, undoubtedly one of the highlights of my life."
Pitt continued to express his delight about the project and gratitude for the support the team has received. "The atmosphere here is truly phenomenal, but to participate in this way and narrate our story is simply fantastic," he said. "We’ve had the warmest welcome from all the teams, the FIA, and Mohammad [Ben Sulayem] has been incredibly supportive. It's going to be an exceptional project."
The ongoing dispute with Jolie pertains to the French winery the pair acquired during their marriage. As reported by OK!, Pitt has accused Jolie of violating their agreement by selling her shares to Yuri Shefler, owner of Stoli, without his consent.
The "Ad Astra" actor asserts that his former wife's action was an attempt to defame the winery's image, citing Shefler's alleged connections with Russian oligarch Vladimir Putin.
In response, Nouvel, Jolie's former company which managed her stake in the winery, countersued. The company alleged financial mismanagement by Pitt and his business associates and filed a criminal complaint to support its claim.
Despite the ongoing legal wrangle, Pitt remains undaunted and continues to delight in the filming of his new movie, Motorsport reports.
