Brad Pitt & George Russell Drift Through las vegas in Viral Mercedes AMG GT Ad Campaign
Las Vegas, Nevada – While the city prepared for a weekend of Formula 1 racing, a different kind of high-speed action unfolded at Caesars Palace. Mercedes and its drivers, George Russell and Hollywood star Brad pitt, filmed a captivating advertisement for the new AMG GT coupe, resulting in a viral video that’s captured the attention of motorsport and entertainment fans alike. The shoot, conducted in the early hours of the morning, showcased impressive drifting and a playful dynamic between the F1 driver and the actor.
The “Upside Down” Production
The shoot, detailed by photographer Larry Chen in a behind-the-scenes video, was a unique undertaking. The team took advantage of the quiet Las Vegas streets to capture dynamic shots of the camouflaged AMG GT prototype.Pitt played the role of a hotel guest awaiting valet service, while Russell portrayed the valet, delivering the car with a series of impressive maneuvers.
The video shows Russell performing donuts and drifting around the iconic Caesars palace fountains. However, the majority of the actual driving was performed by professional Formula Drift champion Samuel Hübinette, due to the challenging cobblestone and uneven surfaces surrounding the fountain.
Chen highlighted the meticulous direction required, notably concerning a sponsor’s request: “I was told I always had to show his IWC wristwatch… I always made him pull back his sleeve.” Russell reportedly embraced his role as a “bored valet driver” with enthusiasm.
AMG GT Prototype Details
The vehicle featured in the advertisement was a heavily camouflaged prototype of the upcoming AMG GT coupe. The camouflage was designed to obscure key design elements, building anticipation for the official reveal. Chen noted the challenges of filming a prototype, particularly in creating the desired smoke effects.
