Brad Pitt Narrates Patriotic TV Ad on Resilience After L.A. Fires and Hurricane Helene: ‘By Lifting Others, That’s How We Rise Up’

On Sunday, prior to the highly anticipated match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, Brad Pitt delivered an emotional television commercial during Fox’s pre-game broadcast.

The TV ad championed the resilience of people after the Los Angeles fires and Hurricane Helene.

To help others ascend is the path to our own elevation. Today, we unite, not just athletes and coaches, or teams and opponents. We are all part of this collective – dreamers, fighters, architects, and optimists. Gathered here to honor our most cherished pastime, a game that demonstrates what we can accomplish when we rally behind a shared objective. This gathering reminds us of the classic American formation – the huddle. In unity, we’ve scaled new heights, penned remarkable stories, driven advancements, not individually but collectively, in ways that have uplifted ourselves and each other.

The commercial aired clips of individuals working on reconstruction following the Los Angeles wildfires and Hurricane Helene.

Pitt stated that the huddle symbolizes our past and the strength derived from our common goal. It’s about daring to dream of flight and then taking off, changing human history. It’s also about the bravery to battle adversaries. This spirit is not just evident in our triumphant moments, but it shines through in our tough times, in the darkness, trouble, and struggle as well.

Brad Pitt is venturing into the realm of sports for his upcoming film, but not on a football field. Instead, he’ll be seen in “F1,” a Formula One racing thriller directed by Joseph Kosinski, who also helmed “Top Gun: Maverick.” This movie is set to hit theaters on June 27. In this film, Pitt portrays Sonny Hayes, a former Formula One driver who had a tragic crash in his past. He’s persuaded to return from retirement and mentor a promising newcomer for the Apex Grand Prix competition.

Beyond Brad Pitt, the extraordinary ensemble of “F1” boasts Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, Shea Wigham, Joseph Balderrama, Sarah Niles, Samson Kayo, Callie Cooke and Layne Harper. Real-life Formula One drivers such as Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Max Verstappen, Sergio Pérez, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz Jr., Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, Valtteri Bottas, Zhou Guanyu, Nico Hülkenberg, Kevin Magnussen, Daniel Ricciardo, Yuki Tsunoda, Logan Sargeant and Alexander Albon will also make appearances in the film. As a movie-loving racing enthusiast, I can hardly wait to witness this extraordinary gathering of talent on the big screen!

In the upcoming match, the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, a rematch from three years ago. If successful, they could make history as the first NFL team to win three Super Bowls consecutively. Last year, they clinched the title of repeat NFL champions by defeating the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles are eager for retribution following their loss to the Chiefs in 2023. This will be the fifth time in six years that the Chiefs have made it to the Super Bowl.
