Brad Pitt: I support Liverpool FC

Not big news, but at least it is corious and good to know that some actors' taste can become a good publicity for some clubs like ours.

One of the biggest movie stars on the planet has outed himself as a Liverpool fan.

 Brad Pitt revealed his affection for the Reds during an interview about his latest film, Moneyball.

 Asked who his favourite football team was, he replied: "I have some friends who are very close to Liverpool, so if I went another way I might be disowned."

 Pitt's partner Angelina Jolie is a well-known Kopite. Her support stems from the time she filmed Tomb Raider in North Wales, during which her adopted son Maddox spent three days receiving treatment at Alder Hey Hospital.

As other smart actors claimed before him, metro.co.uk says:

Perhaps the planet's most famous Liverpool fan is Nelson Mandela, who received a signed short during a visit to Anfield in 1995 and told John Barnes, who presented him with the gift, that he followed the reds.
