Even before attending the London premiere of F1, Ashley has been the topic of conversation as her small role in the film was reduced to a non-speaking part due to what the director, Joseph Kosinski, describes as storylines being cut for time. Nonetheless, that didn't stop Ashley from supporting her fellow castmates. The 30-year-old actress posted pictures from the premiere on her Instagram, writing, "It was a joy to reunite with the cast and crew, and to celebrate."

She continued: "I couldn't have been prouder watching everyone shine on screen and on the carpet, all while wearing my couture @balmain gown that made me feel just as radiant. I've come away with friendships and memories I'll treasure forever. Go see this movie! — it’s a must-see ride and speed like you’ve never seen before!"

The Bridgerton actress also previously told Elle in an interview earlier this month, "I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie. I got to experience many Grand Prix. I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again." And while Ashley’s part in F1 may have been reduced, Kosinski told People that he would love to work with her again.

"It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use. There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make it into the Final Cut," he explained. "But Simone, she's an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer…I would love to work with her again."
One thing is for sure: Ashley definitely has a bright future ahead of her.
