Brad Pitt was spotted on the set of the Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood sequel, The Adventures of Cliff Booth.
He wore a dark zip-up track jacket with white trim, light wash jeans, and aviator sunglasses while filming on a beach in Los Angeles.
It’s the first time the 61-year-old acclaimed actor has been seen since his dear friend and mentor Robert Redford died.
Redford passed away in his sleep on Tuesday at his home in Utah. He was 89-years-old.
The filmmaker directed Pitt in his first major blockbuster, the soulful A River Runs Through It, in the early 1990s.
Redford hand-picked the then-burgeoning star for the lead role in the 1992 biographical film about journalist and gambler Paul Maclean.

He emphasized that Pitt’s success was due to more than his good looks, pointing to his ‘special, smart, talented, hard-working and humble’ qualities.
They also worked together on the 2001 thriller Spy Game from director Tony Scott.
In the movie Redford stars as CIA operative Nathan Muir, who is on the brink of retirement from the field, when he learns his protégé Tom Bishop (Pitt) has been arrested in China on a charge of espionage.
Muir taps into his specialized skillset to find a way to free Bishop.
The box office giants stayed close throughout the years and Pitt has credited Redford with aiding in his acting approach to his acting career.
Like Redford, Pitt has gone on to produce a number of films including The Lost City and Bullet Train.
Pitt reprises his Oscar-winning role as stuntman Cliff Booth in the sequel to 2019’s Once Upon A Time… in Hollywood.
Meanwhile, David Fincher has replaced Quentin Tarantino in the director’s chair this time around.

In 2020 Pitt scored an Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for his role as Booth.
He triumphed over fellow nominees Tom Hanks in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’s, Anthony Hopkins in The Two Popes, plus Joe Pesci and Al Pacino in The Irishman.
Tarantino also won for Best Original Screenplay for his directorial work on the retro motion picture, which was set in 1969.
The character in the first film was a war veteran-turned-stuntman-turned-gofer for fading actor Rick Dalton (played by Leonardo DiCaprio, 50).
Tarantino spoke about the project with Deadline at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023.
He told the outlet that the sequel would be set in the year 1977, describing the titular character as ‘a guy who really lived but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag.’
