(2,872 posts)I wonder if Dr. Fauci ever envisioned Brad Pitt playing him? 😀

(205,552 posts)I just knew that it wasn't a regular cast member. I just hope that the good doctor was watching.

(86,650 posts)Someone asked him who he'd like to see play him in "the movie" and somehow it turns out it was Brat Pitt. So this was such a cool thing to do.

(86,650 posts)on a late night show might have asked him and they may have goaded him a bit but I kind of recall that. I think it has some truth to it now that I see Brad Pitt playing Dr. Fauci...
I'm not taking responsibility for anything.
OK. I don't rake respomsibility for anything either.

(8,287 posts)on the New Day show last week. It was one of her last questions to him that day. Who would you like to play you in a movie?
She gave two choices and one was Brad Pitt. And he laughed and said Brad Pitt without missing a beat.

(57,073 posts)What a wonderful way to honor Dr. Fauci by granting him that wish!

(63,912 posts)Not saying Fauci was full of himself. He probably thought it would advance his thinking further, altho it really is preaching to the choir at this point...

(86,650 posts)I thought I saw it someplace but can't be too sure after a couple days, so much takes place in one day!

(4,690 posts)Earlier in April, CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota asked Fauci which star he would rather portray him if he were impersonated on "Saturday Night Live" Brad Pitt or Ben Stiller.
"Brad Pitt, of course," Fauci said, laughing.

(86,650 posts)And I'm really glad they put this together. Dr. Fauci is now the rock star of the pandemic, of all things to be the celebrity for, and he does deserve all the positive recognition he receives.

(57,073 posts)I am imagining Dr. Fauci watching this.
I hope he was watching and laughing, rather than having nightmares about the idiot.
Rhiannon12866
(205,552 posts)And I hope he was flattered, he's one of the heroes to come out of this huge mess.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)I cannot even imagine what that brilliant man goes through. I can't even stand to look at dump or hear his voice. He surely is a hero.

(205,552 posts)He has to be extraordinary dedicated to put up with the likes of Trump.

Rhiannon12866
(205,552 posts)And I actually think that this was more of an honor for Pitt!
Thanks for the post, Rhiannon.

(9,959 posts)... done! That was nice of Mr. Pitt to do that, after Dr. Fauci's comment.

Watch a few mins...

(6,636 posts)Not just cause I still have a big crush on Brad Pitt. This got more good information out there in three minutes than Dumpy has in years of our lives we'll never get back.
Also, did I say this was DELIGHTFUL?
Thanks for posting, Rhiannon!
