Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum halt work on new Isle of Man TT film after serious crash left eight spectators injured
BRAD PITT and Channing Tatum have halted work on their new Isle Of Man motorbike film after a serious crash at the TT Races over the weekend.
The pair are working on a new movie about the annual gathering, which is regarded as one of the world’s most dangerous motorsport events.
Filming had started on the Amazon MGM Studio production over the weekend but was stopped on Sunday following an accident on the opening practice day.
My on-set source said: “Channing was filming on location when the crash happened with one of the professional motorbike riders.
“It ended up being very serious, with eight people taken to hospital after one of the riders crashed into spectators.
“They were taken to hospital for treatment immediately.
“The film is being made around the same areas so they have an authentic backdrop. As soon as the incident happened, filming was halted. Everyone on set was gravely worried about those involved in the incident.
“There is a reason the Isle of Man TT is known as the most dangerous motorbike race.
“The accident brought home to everyone the risks that are involved in this sport.”
Brad — who played racing driver Sonny Hayes in 2025 sports drama F1 — is a producer on the film, which is called Isle Of Man.
Channing has the starring role as one of the bikers.
Channing first started preparing for the film in 2023 when he was seen on the track meeting the riders and their teams.
A documentary series about the Isle of Man TT and called The Greatest Show on Earth, will be released in conjunction with the film.
Earlier this month, TT veteran John McGuinness said he had been helping Channing get ready for the role.
He said: “I speak to Channing a little bit and have a bit of a chat with him, and he just loves it — loves the bikes — I think it’s fantastic.
“It’s a big Hollywood thing. I know some of the guys who are involved in it and, you know, let’s hope it’s a success.”
Suki’s a belter
SUKI WATERHOUSE looks stunning in a new fashion campaign for Miu Miu.
The model-turned-singer posed in co-ords for the brand’s Upcycled collection as she gears up to release her third studio album, Loveland.
Suki, who signed a deal with Island Records last summer, will drop the record on July 10.
And it will be her first since she and actor boyfriend Robert Pattinson became parents.
She said: “I finished my last record right as I had my daughter, and this one has been everything since then. The process has been somewhat different because, I think, at the beginning of writing it, I was quite fragile.”
BRITNEY: I WISH FANS WOULD STOP RAKING UP MY PAST
BRITNEY SPEARS has called for an end to “embarrassing things” from her past being shown online – which doesn’t bode well for her big-budget biopic currently in the works.
The pop star made the plea to fans on Instagram weeks after being arrested for driving under the influence and subsequently checking herself into rehab.
In a post online, she wrote: “When you get that awkward, weird feeling you can start to feel that perhaps too much chatter is going on behind your back.
“It actually affects people. I still send them love but most importantly, I hope they feel my smile.
“The media has been a bit much in my opinion and I hope they can respect my unbelievable and miraculous spiritual journey.
“I’m so excited to embrace my journey and hope they stop showing embarrassing things from my past.”
Britney’s biopic was first announced in 2024, when Universal Pictures said it was working on an adaptation of her memoir, The Woman In Me, with Wicked filmmaker Jon M Chu as director.
I told last year how work on the much-publicised project was “not going at full speed” because of concerns that Britney was getting cold feet.
As it stands, the lead role has still not even been cast.
So perhaps Britney doesn’t need to worry about things being dredged up again quite yet.
Timothee Nicks kiss from Kylie
I THINK Kylie Jenner might be Timothee Chalamet’s lucky charm when it comes to his basketball team, the New York Knicks.
The couple were seen going bananas courtside – with Kylie giving Timothee a big kiss – after the Nicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers to reach the NBA finals over the weekend.
It was the first time they have got there in 27 years, having last made an appearance when Timothee was four.
The joy wasn’t shared by everyone though, as across the court Taylor Swift was seen trying to cheer up her Cavaliers fan fiancé Travis Kelce.
As a Spurs supporter who almost chewed off every fingernail over the weekend, I feel his anguish.
SWIFTLY ON TO EMMYS
TAYLOR SWIFT was snubbed at the American Music Awards this week, but she’s not letting that stop her.
The chart-topper has already set her sights on September’s Emmys.
The Look What You Made Me Do singer has submitted her Eras Tour: The Final Show for Outstanding Variety Series and The End Of An Era show for Outstanding Docuseries.
Both were released on Disney+ last year and have become two of its most streamed shows.
Something tells me that Taylor could be getting at least one win in a few months’ time.
KYLIE MINOGUE has only just released her Netflix docuseries, but she is already giving fans more with Kylie: Tension Tour Live, out today on the streamer.
The behind-the-scenes look at her 2025 arena shows gives fans the chance to relive the concerts and her biggest tour in a decade.
PINK P’S BID WAS POINTLESS
PINKPANTHERESS has discovered that there really is such a thing as being too famous.
The Boy’s A Liar singer told fans during her Manchester show on Monday that she once tried to go on BBC quiz show Pointless, only to be rejected because producers thought viewers would recognise her.
She said with a laugh: “I applied for Pointless once and they said I was too famous.”
Given most contestants dream of being remembered for something on the show, that’s really quite a nice problem to have.
MAISIE PETERS is on course to score her second No1 with third album Florescence, two years after The Good Witch topped the charts.
She has competition though from Michael Jackson’s The Essential hits compilation, which is behind at No2 in the midweek figures from the Official Charts.
ARRDEE’S DRUG PAIN
ARRDEE has opened up about his secret battles with alcohol and ketamine addiction, admitting he blew the entire £300,000 from his first record deal on booze and designer clothes.
The Brighton rapper revealed he landed the huge payday aged 18 after bluffing rival labels into a bidding war.
But instead of saving the cash, he confessed: “I p**sed it up the wall.
“I didn’t save a penny even for the tax man. I didn’t even know what tax was.”
ArrDee admitted splashing thousands at Selfridges on Stone Island jumpers and Ralph Lauren polos before spiralling into years of heavy drinking and drug use.
He said: “I was super-numb. We was rock-star living.”
The rapper revealed he would drink heavily while filming videos and eventually developed addictions to alcohol and ketamine.
Asked if he believed he was addicted, he replied: “100 per cent.”
But speaking to Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, he said his older brother suffered a drug-induced psychosis, which changed his outlook on life.
He added: “If I could turn back time and not have fame and music, but have my brother be how he was before, I would.”
The rapper has since settled down with his partner Ocean and they now have a child together, which helped him re-evaluate life.
And he admitted: “I always thought I’d be a bad dad because I didn’t know what a good one looked like.”
It’s Baller or nothing for AJ
AJ TRACEY brought the heat to the Baller League final when he debuted his new track Quaresma live at London’s O2 Arena.
The song was inspired by Portuguese football great Ricardo Quaresma, and rapper AJ walked out with the man himself in front of a packed crowd
The football wasn’t bad either.
Prime FC, run by KSI, took the crown, beating YouTuber Niko Omilana’s NDL FC 5-2 in the final to become Baller League Season Three champions.
Prime FC knocked out Deportrio FC, managed by former Premier League stars Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge, in a chaotic 5-3 semi-final.
Where else can you watch football legends, YouTubers and AJ Tracey all share the same pitch?
Only in the Baller League.
