Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem just got a dose of how thirsty some fans are for them!

The F1 costars participated in a video for BuzzFeed Celeb, reading out thirst tweets from fans that had them in stitches for much of the 8-minute segment.

"Should we just get it over with and never speak about this again?" Pitt, 61, asked Bardem, 56, who agreed, "Never."

One standout tweet? " 'Seeing Brad Pitt butt in Troy gave meaning to my life,' " Bardem read.

"It's a crack of sunshine," Pitt quipped, not missing a beat. "I can't fight it. It is what it is."

Pitt continued, reading another tweet, " 'I have an overwhelming urge to lick Javier Bardem.' You know, I say that one too," he joked. "All the time. Overwhelming urge, just to lick. ... Top to bottom."

" 'Brad Pitt didn't have to take off his shirt in once upon a time in hollywood ... but he did ... he did it for us,' " Bardem recited, reading another post.

"I'm really glad that my humanitarian efforts have been appreciated, because it's important to me," the Academy Award winner replied, adding in another section, "What the f--- are people doing in their free time?!"

Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), F1 stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former driver "who returns to Formula 1 at APXGP, a fictional team on the grid," per a synopsis. Damson Idris plays his teammate Joshua, and Bardem plays Ruben, the owner of the team Sonny drives for.

The cast also includes Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo.

During a June 16 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Bardem explained that he and Pitt only "knew each other very briefly" before making F1, "and then we have to create this bromance ... which, with Brad Pitt, is not that difficult, if you ask me."

"It's like, 'Okay, I get it,' " Bardem added of his costar's appeal, joking of how Pitt reacted to him in contrast, "He had a harder time."

The Spanish actor also said Pitt, who is a producer on F1, spent time "giving us, the rest of the actors, the material to shine and putting himself on the back [burner]. It was amazing."

"And when we were working on shooting the scenes, the relation(ship) just happened [between us]," Bardem continued. "Because it's so easy to work with him. He's one of the greatest."
