Nothing could distract the Internet from the glorious Novak Djokovic versus Carlos Alcaraz men’s final at Wimbledon on Sunday – except, in a teeny tiny way, Brad Pitt in the stands.
A galaxy of stars showed up to watch Carlos Alcaraz win his first Wimbledon title, beating Novak Djokovic in a five-set thriller.
In the celebrity-studded crowd were stars Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Aamir Khan, Ariana Grande, Tom Hiddleston and Andrew Garfield. However, there was no competing with the buff blonde presence of Brad Pitt.
The official Wimbledon Instagram dedicated an entire post to him, writing, “Welcome to Wimbledon, Brad.”
Overwhelmed fans smitten by the American actor wrote - “He still looks amazing,” “The man behind millions of smiles,” “That’s just illegal” and those who cannot believe Brad Pitt is pushing 60 (he’s 59) said “60 years old and still more handsome than 99.99% of the men who lived before”.
Many comments invoked ‘The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button’, a film in which Brad Pitt played the eponymous hero with the distinction of ageing in reverse.
Twitter was also deluged with thirsty tweets. Most focused on Brad Pitt’s age and several tweets compared him to others of a similar age – former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, for instance.
BBC Sport chimed in by pointing out that Brad was older than Novak Djokovic, 36, and Carlos Alcaraz, 20, combined!
