Brad Pitt’s Unexpected Ted Lasso Love: How He Gushed About the Show to Sarah Niles

BBG News

I never expected to write this, but it turns out Brad Pitt is a fan of the popular Apple TV+ series “Ted Lasso”. It’s not too surprising since the show has become quite the sensation, with many people tuning in. Admittedly, I don’t usually ponder over what famous celebrities enjoy watching, so this news about the renowned actor expressing his admiration for “Ted Lasso” wasn’t on my radar, but I’m delighted to learn about it now!

For those unaware, Brad Pitt collaborated with Sarah Niles, a cast member from Ted Lasso, on the movie F1, which debuted in the 2025 film schedule and is now playing in cinemas. In the Joseph Kosinski film, Niles portrays the mother of Sonny Hayes (Pitt) and Joshua Pearce’s (Damson Idris) teammate. On Apple TV+, she played Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, the team psychologist for A.F.C. Richmond.

As they worked on project F1, Niles shared that Pitt approached her to express his admiration for Ted Lasso, which she conveyed to The Hollywood Reporter.

It was fantastic. I encountered Brad during a rehearsal. His enthusiasm, the way he approached me and expressed his admiration for Ted Lasso and me in the series, was heartwarming. He didn’t hesitate to share his affection for the show and my performance. That’s how he presented himself. He’s quite open and expressive.

That’s really kind! It makes me curious if Pitt watched Ted Lasso on Apple TV+, or if he tuned in weekly as episodes were released several years back. I’d be thrilled to learn about his favorite heartwarming Ted moment and any lines from the show that he quotes, too!

Apart from the question whether Brad Pitt anticipated Season 4 of Ted Lasso, I’m curious to learn if his enthusiasm mirrors mine now that the team is busily creating fresh episodes.

Setting aside the various questions, it’s delightful to learn that the actor from Moneyball is a fan of the show. Indeed, he seems spot-on in his appreciation for Dr. Sharon Fieldstone. Niles delivered her character with great skill, and her role had an immense, positive, and moving influence on those she assisted within the team.

Apart from this serving as an enjoyable trivia about the top-tier F1 driver, Niles additionally shed light on what it revealed about Pitt’s leadership qualities. In her words:

At the London premiere, I communicated this idea to him: “When your leading actor is approachable, generous, and eager to succeed, others naturally want to emulate that, don’t they? That’s the kind of atmosphere you need. He’s like the captain of the ship, guiding it.

It’s evident that Niles holds great respect and affection towards her fellow actor, and it appears this sentiment is reciprocated. I’m really looking forward to witnessing their ongoing collaboration.

I’m just as excited for Season 4 of Ted Lasso, and now I find myself secretly hoping that the star from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood might make an appearance. It’s quite a stretch, but who knows? Perhaps Sarah Niles has some connections to make it happen. After all, anything can happen when you dream (or “hope” for a more formal term)!

Regardless of anything else, I’m simply delighted that these two sports narratives are out there. Ted Lasso and F1 each weave inspiring tales about individuals surpassing obstacles and accomplishing the seemingly unattainable. They’re heartwarming and filled with action, and I adore them both. It’s wonderful to learn that Brad Pitt feels the same way.
