Brad Pitt, a Chiefs fan, shares time he trolled Bradley Cooper about Eagles' losses before Super Bowl defeat
Well, that Chiefs fandom was on full display at the moment he had to tell the guys about as it involved another die-hard football fan, Bradley Cooper, who reps Jason's Philadelphia Eagles.
During his time on the podcast, he started to tell a story about how he was presenting the Outstanding Performer of the Year award to Cooper for his film 'Maestro' at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
Pitt couldn't help but take a dig at Cooper at the moment about his Eagles fandom in February 2024.
"I'm friends with Bradley Cooper. He's your prime Eagles fan," Pitt began his anecdote. "I'm not saying that I have the power to affect a game in any way. I don't adhere to that kind of hubris, but I did say last year after the Eagles went out [of the playoffs], Chiefs were on their way to another [Super Bowl] victory, and he was getting the award for 'Maestro' – still probably one of the best movies of this decade. I was giving him this award. He's been nominated like 18 times for Oscars…It was at the Santa Barbara Film Award, and I closed with, 'Listen, he's been nominated [for the] 1900th time. If he doesn't get it, it's OK, he's used to it. He's a Philadelphia Eagles fan.'"
Cooper's reaction after Pitt said that went viral, as video caught him saying off-screen, "Man, that's f---ed up."
But after beating the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX this year, Cooper has bragging rights over Pitt now.
"We didn't talk for two months. He gracefully let me hurt in my psyche," Pitt said when the Kelce brothers asked what happened following the 40-22 victory in New Orleans, where Cooper presented the NFC-champion Eagles coming out of the tunnel before the game.
Pitt, who was born in Oklahoma but grew up in Springfield, Missouri, discussed his Chiefs fandom a bit with the Kelce brothers, saying this last decade has been amazing for obvious reasons with his favorite team.
"You feel this sense of pride instead of life's always out against us," Pitt said. "So, it's kind of extraordinary the way we live through our teams, you guys and what it means to us."
He also made sure to tell Travis to wear oven mitts until the season starts, to keep his hands warm for what he and the rest of Chiefs Kingdom hope is another run to the Super Bowl, this time for some redemption.

This new adventure movie will win the weekend box office. Watch the trailer here
Last weekend, F1: The Movie stood atop the box office podium, but this weekend a very different movie will steal the spotlight. Jurassic World Rebirth is expected to rake in between $80 million and $100 million on its debut weekend in North America, according to a forecast from Boxoffice Pro. Watch the trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth at the top of this page. Jurassic World Rebirth landed in theaters on Wednesday and has already been attracting plenty of interest from families looking for some midweek entertainment. 'A new cast led by Marvel icon Scarlett Johansson and Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali lends an element of star power that will surely entice even those most critical of Jurassic Park: Dominion,' Boxoffice Pro said, adding that 'the lack of Chris Pratt or any of the legacy players (Dern, Goldblum, Neill, et al) could be perceived as both a liability and a plus in this instance.' As per the movie's logline: 'Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.' Jurassic World Rebirth sees an extraction team — Johansson, Ali, and Jonathan Bailey — race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, 'inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind,' Universal Pictures says of its new adventure movie. In his review, Digital Trends' Anthony Orlando describes Jurassic World Rebirth as 'a sequel that brings some life back to the exhausted franchise.' While the review praises fabulous performances from Johansson, Ali, and Bailey, it adds that the script is 'occasionally held back by on-the-nose, expositional dialogue.' Orlando concludes: 'This movie is far from the best in the Jurassic Park saga. But it's a decent blockbuster nonetheless.'

Travis Kelce Reveals Major Challenge in Personal and Professional Life
Travis Kelce Reveals Major Challenge in Personal and Professional Life originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Travis Kelce can in interviews alternate back-and-forth between being charming and funny and self-effacing… And smart. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar was interviewed recently on the 'Bussin' with the Boys' podcast, and he found himself talking about how the most difficult thing about hosting "SNL,'' as he recently did with great comedic success, is what is called the pre-show "table read.'' It's part of the weekly prep, and per reviews of Kelce working as the host for the 14th episode of season 48, it was a "Saturday Night Live'' hit. And as Kelce gradually shifts from the NFL to the entertainment world - with guidance no doubt from pop icon girlfriend Talyor Swift - he enjoyed the work. Or, rather, most of it. 'The writers' rooms were fun because you're just getting pitched ideas,'' he said. But ... "The table reading, for a guy that can't really read that well, it was kind of a (expletive) situation.' Kelce stated. 'I felt like I was just trying to get through the reading instead of actually acting it out and giving it a voice and giving it a character and things like that. "I was just focused on, 'Don't (expletive) skip this line.'' As far as fans of the Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer are concerned, Kelce seems to be able to master any number of tasks with ease. But ... is reading really a relative struggle for him? Even if he's being a bit modest, it's a revelation that might also count as an inspiration for young people who might have their own struggles. And Kelce is certainly making it work now as he is making a stunningly strong transition into Hollywood the last few years, achieving a role in the FX's series 'Grotesquerie,' and an even bigger and more high-profile 'Happy Gilmore' sequel in which he will play a role with his acting buddy Adam story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

James Gunn Says Nicholas Hoult Wasn't Cast as Superman Because He's a 'More Controlled Actor' While David Corenswet Is 'Loose'
It's widely known that Nicholas Hoult auditioned to be James Gunn's new Superman, and the director is revealing why he lost out on the legendary part. During a recent appearance on Jake Hamilton's Jake Takes, Gunn admitted that the Nosferatu star is 'a great actor' but he merely 'didn't fit the role' of Clark Kent. The Guardians of the Galaxy director thought he was a bit too 'controlled' for the part as opposed to David Corenswet. More from The Hollywood Reporter Nicholas Hoult Recalls Auditioning for 'Superman' on the Same Day as David Corenswet James Gunn's 'Superman' Tracking for $135 Million U.S. Box Office Opening James Gunn Says the "Movie Industry Is Dying" Due to Films Being Made With Unfinished Scripts 'You know, Nick Hoult auditioned [for Superman]. He's a great actor. I mean, some might say he's better than David in certain ways, but he just didn't fit the role, and that's why he didn't get that,' Gunn said. 'As much as you can transform yourself as a person, Nick was just more controlled.' The DC Studios boss further explained that Hoult took part in chemistry tests with other actresses who were up for the role of Lois Lane. 'One of the things that we were also doing was mixing and matching Lois' and Clark's when we were auditioning them, and so I wanted to make sure that we had that chemistry right,' he said. 'And the truth is, Nick, who is a more controlled actor, had really good chemistry with another Lois that was less controlled, so they were opposites.' Ultimately, he settled on casting Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois because of their opposite on-screen chemistry. Gunn clarified, 'David had better chemistry with Rachel [Brosnahan] because she's a very controlled actor, and David is a little bit more, you know, loose, and that creates a different type of dynamism on-screen.' It was previously reported by THR that Hoult was in talks to star in the next Superman. However, he ultimately joined Gunn's new DC universe as villain Lex Luthor. Of their time going for the role, Hoult and Corenswet recalled when they crossed paths on-set while auditioning for the film on the same day during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! 'I walked out of doing one of my audition scenes, and I was like, 'Yeah, not bad. OK,' And I walked around the corner, and there was lots of shadows on the studio lot and then one ray of sunshine,' Hoult said. 'David had taken a seat in this ray of sunshine and was sitting there, charging up from the sun like Superman does, getting his power… And in that moment, whilst we were shaking hands, I was like, 'I'd be happy if this guy was Superman. I was like, 'You're perfect for it.'' Earlier in the interview, Hamilton asked Gunn what other actors who were up for the part lacked in comparison to the Twisters star. 'A lot of times casting is finding the right person for the right role,' he said. 'So, most people weren't doing anything wrong; they just didn't fit how I envisioned this Superman to be.'
