“Can You Imagine”: Brad Pitt Had a Hysterical Reaction to When Asked About Fighting in WWE

Popular celebrities from all walks of life have appeared for WWE at one point or another. The company has been successful at fusing pop cultural icons into its programming, bringing it to mainstream attention. Musicians, actors, and TV celebrities have all had their taste in WWE’s sports entertainment world.

Many Hollywood celebrities have appeared in some capacity for the WWE, dating back to the first ever WrestleMania pay-per-view. Some have accompanied other wrestlers to the ring, while others have had a proper go inside the squared circle.

One of the biggest Hollywood stars, Brad Pitt, was also once quizzed about wrestling in WWE, and his reply was amusing.

Brad Pitt was blunt on his fighting in WWE

Pitt said, “Sure, tell me what, I’m open for anything. … All right, let’s see what lines up.” Kelley asked him if he will take on the role of a manager or actually get in a ring. To this, Brad Pitt came up with a hilarious response.

Pitt replied that while he is good with attending a WWE event as a spectator, it will be a ‘disaster’ if he considered participating as a performer.

He said, “You’re talking about actually getting in and fighting, really? Hell, no. I’ll be a participant? No, I’ll spectate. Can you imagine? What a disaster. Oh My God.”

Brad Pitt has been part of some of Hollywood’s biggest movies. His roles in ‘Fight Club’, ‘Inglourious Basterds’ and ‘Money Ball’ are forever etched in the memories of fans. He also won an Oscar for the best supporting actor for his role in ‘Once Upon a Time In Hollywood’.
