Brad Pitt publicly hated Troy (2004) and regretted taking the role. Pitt took the role because he needed to fulfill a commitment after withdrawing from another Warner Bros. project.
To avoid legal and financial penalties, Brad Pitt agreed to star in Troy instead.
He called it "a commercial kind of thing," saying the storytelling lacked mystery because the camera was always focused on him as the hero.
Even so, he committed fully to Achilles. Pitt spent nearly 6 months training in sword fighting, boxing, sprinting, and weightlifting, gaining around 10–15 pounds (4.5–7 kg) of lean muscle to resemble ancient Greek statues.
While filming, he ironically tore his Achilles tendon during a battle scene, delaying production.
Looking back, Pitt admitted, "I chunked that scene... I blew that scene. It could be better. I would love another shot at it."
Ironically, many fans and critiques believe that the flatness actually works for Achilles in the film — a character who doesn’t care about anything except winning battles.
Mike Tyson Reveals the Time He Caught Brad Pitt With His Wife
Theo Von: Somebody said that Brad Pitt stole a girlfriend of yours one time.
Mike Tyson: No. Me and my wife were going through a divorce, but we were still fucking. Every night we were still fucking, then we fighting in the paper, then we fucking at night.
Theo Von: Okay.
Mike Tyson: One day, I went over her house to fuck and she wasn’t home. Then she’s driving up the road with a BMW I bought her, and she had someone with her. I thought it was some kind of a friend from Head of the Class, but it wasn’t. It was Brad Pitt trying to get some head.
Theo Von: No way!
Mike Tyson: Yeah.
Theo Von: That honky was with her?
Mike Tyson: Yeah!
Theo Von: But you caught him in the driveway?
Mike Tyson: Yeah.
Theo Von: Did you punk him a little?
Mike Tyson: No.
Theo Von: At least if your girl’s going to be with somebody, if it’s Brad Pitt… that’s okay.
Mike Tyson: But he wasn’t Brad Pitt yet.
Theo Von: Oh, he wasn’t Brad Pitt yet?
Mike Tyson: I didn’t know who the fuck he was. He didn’t even have a car.

This young boy is called Keith. He is among the kids that died in the accident of King David Junior school. When another parent was looking for the dead body of their child in the mortuary of Mbale hospital, he saw this boy Keith moving his fingers while laying in the mortuary. He ran and called the doctors that the boy was still alive. That’s how he survived
🚨🇩🇪 Jurgen Klopp: “When we ask in Germany: are we as good as France? And the answer is no, that's not true. The question should be: do we have players like: Dembélé, Mbappé, Doué, Barcola? The answer is no. But we still can beat them”.
“It's not important to look at France, Spain, Argentina. The most important thing is to look at ourselves and how we play football. We aren't number one in the world at the moment, that's true”.
“There are 11 nations ahead of us in the ranking - but we have to make beating them possible, with the way we play football”, says via @iMiaSanMia.
Let's pray.
Heavenly Father, as I step into this Saturday, silence every storm raging against me, turn every delay into acceleration, replace every closed door with one no man can shut, and let this day carry peace, provision, and breakthrough that reminds my soul You've never left me, never failed me, and You're still writing my story in power and glory.
On this Friday, cover me with grace so thick no attack can pierce it, open doors so wide no man can shut them, and give me joy so deep no circumstance can steal it.
God, let this Friday carry restoration for everything I lost, peace for everything that kept me awake at night, and sudden miracles that make me declare only You could have. Amen.
🚨💣 Jürgen Klopp addressing the German public during his introductory press conference as the new Bundestrainer:
“I’m not doing this job for myself. I’m doing it for you. I’m taking this job even though I’ve seen how you’ve treated Julian Nagelsmann. I’m taking it even though I’ve seen how you’ve treated Thomas Tuchel.
If you go after my family, I’m gone. If you think I’m rubbish, tell me to my face and I’ll leave immediately, without asking for any compensation.”

Let’s pray:
Heavenly Father, as I step into this new day, I don’t know everything that lies ahead, but I know You are already there. Before I face any conversation, decision, or burden, I place my heart in Your hands. Lord, You know the prayers I’ve whispered, the tears I’ve cried in secret, and the battles behind my smile. You know how easy it is to feel discouraged when answers are delayed and nothing seems to change. Yet I choose to believe You are still working.
Lord, let today be marked by Your favor. Go before me, remove every obstacle You did not plant, open doors no one can shut, connect me with the right people, and align me with every opportunity You prepared. Order my steps, fill my words with wisdom, and anchor my heart in peace. Give me fresh strength for every challenge, fresh grace for every weakness, and fresh joy nothing can steal. I believe You are writing a beautiful story with my life, and what You have for me is greater than what I left behind. Thank You for carrying me when I couldn’t carry myself.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
