Hollywood actor Brad Pitt was offered a T-shirt bearing an illustration of his face next to the slogan ‘Brad Pitt for Mayor?’ during a US television interview.
The shirt is part of a grass-roots effort to get the Mr & Mrs Smith star elected as the next leader of embattled US city, New Orleans. The city will go to the polls to choose a new mayor in April 2010.
Brad, 45, helped set up the Make It Right foundation which aims to rebuild parts of the city devastated by Hurricane Katrina and support victims of the damage.
And he has worked hard to keep the city’s plight in the headlines since the 2005 hurricane.
But it is not known if he is a fan of the idea – because the T-shirt clip was only shown as a teaser for the full interview, to be broadcast later in the week.
By going into politics Brad would be following 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.
The full interview with Brad will be shown on American television’s The Today Show on Thursday.
Interviewer and host Ann Curry said: “He said a lot of sweet things about his family.
“They are very private and I respect that.”
