Bridgerton fame actress Simone Ashley has been cast in the high-octane racing drama F1 alongside Brad Pitt and Damson. However, despite shooting some scenes in the movie, her role was cut in the final cut, it was reported.
When asked about the change to Ashley’s part, director Joseph Kosinski tells People, ‘It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use. There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn’t make it into the final cut.’
‘But Simone, she’s an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer, and I would love to work with her again,’ Kosinski said. Simone Ashley has not commented on her reduction of the role yet.
Earlier this month, while speaking to ELLE as quoted by People, Ashley said making F1 was a “crazy’ experience.
‘I have a very small part, but I’m grateful to be in that movie. I got to experience many Grand Prix. I don’t think I’ll ever do anything like that again,’ said Ashley.
The Bridgerton actress previously told a magazine, that the production on the film F1 had been ‘going for years’ as she revealed how long her role was in the works. ‘I met for this movie, I think, before Bridgerton even came out. It’s been a long time, and you know, it’s Damson and Brad’s movie. I’m just so grateful that I can be part of it. You had to work as a team. Sometimes we literally had one take for certain shots. Like, you’d see on the call sheet eight minutes to get this one thing because we were shooting alongside the races,” said Simone Ashley. (ANI)
