Hollywood is buzzing as superstar Brad Pitt – the cinematic icon behind countless blockbusters like Fight Club or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – decides to "bail" on a crucial film shooting schedule to rush back to his beloved hometown of New Orleans and cheer for his favorite team: the New Orleans Saints! According to exclusive sources from the entertainment world, Pitt has canceled a key action scene shoot in his new project (rumored to be a sequel to a hit series) just to be at Caesars Superdome on October 5, 2025, witnessing the Saints face off against the New York Giants in a thrilling Week 5 NFL matchup.
As a die-hard Saints fan since the Hurricane Katrina disaster in 2005 – when Pitt actively participated in rebuilding New Orleans – this 61-year-old actor has never hidden his love for the black-and-gold team. "I can skip anything, but not the Saints. They're the soul of the city I cherish," Pitt once shared in a recent interview. And this time, he's proving it with action: Despite a jam-packed filming schedule with a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars, Pitt is prioritizing a flight back to Louisiana to immerse himself in the "Who Dat Nation" atmosphere – the legendary chant of Saints fans.
The upcoming game promises to be a fierce battle. The Saints, led by young stars like Kool-Aid McKinstry and Derek Carr, are hungry for a home win against the Giants – the New York team trying to recover from a tough season. Pitt is said to be sitting in the VIP section, and he might even join pre-game tailgate activities to boost morale. "Brad isn't just a fan; he's like part of the team. Skipping the shoot to come watch this game shows that love for sports can surpass even Hollywood," a source close to Pitt revealed.
The news has quickly spread across social media, with the hashtag #BradPittForSaints exploding. Saints fans are thrilled: "With Brad Pitt cheering, Saints are sure to win big!" Meanwhile, the film industry is worried about project delays, but who doesn't get it: When the heart calls for the Saints, even an A-list star has to answer!
Will Pitt bring luck to the Saints in the 10/5 game? Or is this just the start of a "superstar" season for the New Orleans team? We'll update with the hottest details. What do you think about Brad Pitt's "crazy" passionate move? Share right below!
