Citizens in New Orleans are launching a movement to recruit Hollywood star Brad Pitt into the 2010 New Orleans mayoral race, going so far as wearing T-shirts with the slogan "Brad Pitt for Mayor." So will the actor take up political suggestion of his fans? It is no secret that Brad Pitt has a soft spot for New Orleans. He has a home in New Orleans with partner Angelina Jolie, as well as playing an active part in rebuilding the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Lower Ninth Ward with his Make it Right Foundation, and he has worked hard to keep the city's plight in the headlines since the 2005 hurricane. He has become a big hero in some local residents' hearts -- so much that they've taken to campaigning for him for mayor. Will Brad follow in the footsteps of former actor Ronald Reagan - who ended up becoming the 40th President of the United States in 1981, and one-time Hollywood action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is now the Governor of California? Guess we'll have to wait and see! Sources: Xinhua
it'll be interesting to see what he decides to do. good guy at heart but i don't think he'd make a great mayor.
