Brad Pitt to compete at the Olympics
Yup! Today, August 13 at 4:15 PM, Brad Pitt will face off against Morocco’s Mohammed Arjaoui in the Men’s Heavyweight division in boxing. Ranked #33 in the World Championships, he will try to bring in a medal as a member of the Australian Olympic boxing team.
Nope, it’s not the Fight Club Brad Pitt but an Australian who shares his name and has to put up with the occasional taunts. “Mate, I’ve been living with that other bloke’s name for years, it doesn’t worry me at all,” he told Australia’s Herald Sun while practicing for the 2008 Games.
“I’ve always been Brad,” he tells the Daily Telegraph. “Let him change his name.”
So if you tell your friends that you saw Brad Pitt’s fight at the Olympics would they believe you?
