If you buy your ticket for F1: The Movie expecting to see Bridgerton star Simone Ashley, you will be terribly disappointed. The actress appears only briefly and with no lines of dialogue in the new Formula 1 movie, as her storyline was removed from the final cut of the film.
"It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use," director Joseph Kosinski recently explained in an interview with People magazine following the reports of Ashley's reduced role in the movie. The Top Gun: Maverick director was quick to clarify that "there were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make into the final cut," so it wasn't anything to do with the actress' work.
