Brad Pitt is a Fighter

Brad Pitt is a Fighter

Brad Pitt will star opposite Mark Wahlberg in boxing flick The Fighter, a drama about boxer Irish Mickey Ward and his unlikely path to become world lightweight champion.

According to Variety, Brad replaced Matt Damon because of scheduling conflicts.

Mr. Pitt will play Dicky Eklund, Mickey’s half-brother and a talented fighter who once went the distance with Sugar Ray Leonard in a title fight but then turned to crime and landed in prison. Then he turned his life around and helped his underperforming brother find the spark for a remarkable run that led to the world title.

The Fighter will be directed by Rachel Weisz’s hubby Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain).

You just know there will be lotsa shirtless and sweaty scenes in this film. Ladies, buy your drool rags now.

Seriously…don’t engage this razzi fool. This is not a fan of Brad or Angie. Regardless of the 20+ posts by this person, Brad clearly has a different opinion of her and the work she’s done. Clearly he is besotted and in love with Angelina.

Haters amuse me LMAO

Hottest Couple Ever : 09/20/2007 at 7:23 pm
Hey lookwhaticando

Angie has 4 kids, Brad Pitt and is quite possibly the most famous
actress in the world right now, not to mention one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

==================================

What more could you ask for, Angie has met with world leaders, Queens, etc. Brad is one of the most respected men in hollywood, you can not deny the power this couple possess, and they are in love and have a happy family. they have the world at their finger tips.

Not even a contest @ 09/20/2007 at 8:14 pm

Wahlberg could kick Brad’s a$$ in nothing flat!

Hello there Guli!

Hey Sheri saw you reply on both thread, glad you are doing okay and that it’s a happy busy that is keeping you away from Jared.

Brad & Ange will take their vacation together Summer of 2008, Brad will be working most of the time while Ange will be with the kids.They take turns taking care of their children. I think, The Fighter will be a good movie for Pitt. Thanks JJ for the new thread, you are amazing.

Brad's too old @ 09/20/2007 at 9:17 pm

Nothing sadder than a middle aged man trying to hold on to his youth.
You just end up looking like an idiot Brad. Start playing parts your age.

Please tell this to his X wife. nothing more outrageous than playing the same girl friend role for the last 10 yrs.

If it’s okay for Russel Crowe, Johnny Depp, Tom Hank , Bruce Willis taking role younger than their age, Why can’t Brad have it ?
