Brad Pitt a fighter?
Brad Pitt is currently in talks to play a role in the upcoming Paramount film Fighter. The movie is about the Boston boxer Mickey Ward; Mark Wahlberg is set to play Ward, while Brad would take on the role of Ward’s half-brother Dicky Eklund, another boxer known for knocking down Sugar Ray Leonard.
The role of Eklund was originally supposed to go to Brad’s bud Matt Damon (Brad, Matt, and George are just a total trifecta of acting awesomeness aren’t they?), but Matt had to back out because of conflicting film schedules. Paramount is hoping to get production started next Fall.
(Can I also add a confession that as much as I love Brad, I am way excited about Mark Wahlberg punching his way around a boxing ring with no shirt on? WOO!)
