Simone Ashley's 'F1' Role Sharply Reduced

Simone Ashley, best known for her role in 'Bridgerton,' had her part in the upcoming 'F1: The Movie' significantly reduced, with most of her scenes cut and no dialogue in the final version. Director Joseph Kosinski clarified that the changes were due to the need to trim multiple storylines during editing, common in filmmaking, and not a reflection of Ashley's performance. The film stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and is scheduled for release on June 27, 2025. Both Kosinski and Ashley spoke positively despite the reduction, with Kosinski praising Ashley's talent and Ashley describing her experience as 'crazy' and expressing gratitude. Ashley also noted the production was particularly challenging due to tight timelines and filming during actual Formula One races. Fans remain interested in Ashley's future projects, including a possible return to 'Bridgerton.'
