“We Didn’t Talk for 2 Months” — Brad Pitt Admits He LOVES Trolling Bradley Cooper’s Eagles in Hilariously Honest Confession
Hollywood stars aren’t just kings of the big screen — they’re just as passionate, petty, and proudly fanatical when it comes to football. And in a hilarious and surprisingly candid moment, Brad Pitt revealed just how far he’ll go to root for his Kansas City Chiefs — even if it means putting a strain on his friendship with fellow A-lister and diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan Bradley Cooper.
In an interview clip that’s making the rounds on YouTube and social media, Brad Pitt shocked fans by admitting that after a particularly tense NFL playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, he and Bradley Cooper didn’t speak for two months. The reason? Good old-fashioned football rivalry… and a whole lot of trolling.
“We didn’t talk for two months after the Super Bowl,” Pitt said with a grin. “I was loving every second of it. I mean, loving it. I was texting him memes, gifs, even a photo of Mahomes eating a cheesesteak.”
It turns out, even Hollywood legends aren’t above a little pettiness when it comes to sports.
FRIENDSHIP VS. FOOTBALL: THE BRADLEY-BRAD SHOWDOWN
Brad Pitt, born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, has long been a proud supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s frequently spotted in Chiefs gear, passionately defending quarterback Patrick Mahomes in interviews, and now, as this story reveals, gleefully trolling friends who support rival teams.
Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper has been equally vocal about his Eagles fandom. A Philadelphia native, Cooper has attended games, narrated Eagles-related documentaries, and even credited the team’s spirit as inspiration for his performance in Silver Linings Playbook. It’s clear: when it comes to football, these two actors take it seriously.
So what happens when their teams face off on the biggest stage in American sports?
Drama. Petty texts. And a test of friendship.
SUPER BOWL LVII: THE GAME THAT SPARKED A SILENT WAR
The 2023 Super Bowl was more than just a game for Pitt and Cooper. It was a clash of personal pride.
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles in a nail-biter, 38-35. While the rest of the world celebrated Mahomes’ dazzling performance and Rihanna’s halftime show, Brad Pitt had something else on his mind — Cooper’s reaction.
“I was ready. I had memes lined up,” Pitt said during the interview, barely able to contain his laughter. “I mean, come on — it’s all in good fun. Mostly.”
The teasing apparently hit a nerve. According to Pitt, Cooper responded initially with a few dry one-word answers… then went radio silent.
“He didn’t respond for a while, and I thought, ‘Uh-oh, maybe I went too far,’” Pitt recalled. “Next thing I know, it’s been two weeks, then a month. It wasn’t until we ran into each other at an event that we actually spoke again.”
BRADLEY COOPER: “I NEEDED SPACE”
While Cooper hasn’t made a formal statement about Pitt’s playful taunting, sources close to the actor confirmed that he “didn’t appreciate” the timing of the trolling, especially immediately after the heartbreaking loss.
“Bradley’s super competitive,” one insider shared. “He loves his Eagles, and that Super Bowl loss hit hard. Brad’s jokes were funny… but maybe just not at that moment.”
Apparently, Cooper told Pitt at the time, “I just needed space.”
The comment became a running joke between the two actors once they patched things up. Pitt even joked that he should put “I Just Needed Space” on a Chiefs hoodie and send it to Cooper.
TROLLING WITH LOVE: BRAD PITT’S PHILOSOPHY ON FRIENDSHIP
Despite the awkward silence and slight tension, Pitt insists the trolling came from a place of affection.
“I troll the people I love,” he said. “If I didn’t care about the guy, I wouldn’t have spent half a day looking for the perfect meme.”
In fact, Pitt views sports as one of the few places where even the most famous people can just be fans — raw, emotional, and yes, even petty.
“Look, we all need a little fun. The world’s too serious. If we can’t tease our friends about football, what are we even doing?”
WHEN CELEBRITY FANDOM FEELS REAL
What makes this story resonate is its sheer relatability. Strip away the Oscars, the designer suits, and the movie premieres, and you’re left with two guys emotionally invested in their teams — just like millions of others across America.
The fact that one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors can admit to trolling his friend with cheesesteak memes (a clear dig at Philadelphia pride) makes fans love him even more.
It also shines a light on a fun, unfiltered side of Brad Pitt that’s rarely seen in press junkets and red carpets.
“We’re friends again,” Pitt confirmed with a smile. “We’ll probably sit on opposite sides of the room next time the Eagles and Chiefs play, though.”
FANS REACT: “WE NEED THIS ENERGY”
Fans across social media platforms have praised the exchange, calling it “hilarious,” “so relatable,” and “the most honest Hollywood friendship ever.”
One fan tweeted,
“Brad Pitt trolling Bradley Cooper with Mahomes memes is the content I didn’t know I needed.”
Another joked,
“Some friendships are tested by betrayal. Others, by football.”
Even Chiefs and Eagles fans got in on the fun, reposting the clip with captions like, “This is exactly how it feels when your team wins and your friend can’t even look at you.”
LOOKING AHEAD: ROUND TWO?
With both the Chiefs and Eagles remaining competitive and stacked with talent, there’s every chance that another showdown between the two is on the horizon.
And if it happens, Brad Pitt already has a plan.
“I’ve learned my lesson,” he said. “Next time, I’ll give it at least three days before I send the memes.”
But fans know the truth — the memes are already saved in his phone, just waiting for the perfect moment.
CONCLUSION
Brad Pitt’s confession about his trolling escapades with Bradley Cooper proves that even A-list actors aren’t immune to the emotional rollercoaster of sports fandom. It’s a rare and hilarious glimpse into their real-life friendship, full of rivalry, mischief, and eventually, mutual respect.
As Pitt put it best:
“At the end of the day, it’s all love — but I still think the Chiefs are gonna win again. Sorry, Brad.”
Whether you’re a diehard football fan or just in it for the celebrity drama, this story proves that when the stakes are high and the memes are spicy, even the biggest stars can act just like the rest of us.
