Rumor Mill Churns: Will Brad Pitt Charm Us on 'It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia'?

Hollywood is buzzing, and this time, it’s all about a delicious rumor that has fans of the iconic sitcom 'It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia' on the edge of their seats. The latest whispers suggest that Brad Pitt, the A-list heartthrob and two-time Academy Award winner, might just grace the screen in an upcoming episode. Can you imagine the hilarity that would ensue?

Sprouting from a popular fan page called “Always Sunny Daily,” sources claim Pitt has shown a keen interest in joining the raucous gang. While the fan page boasts an impressive following of nearly 70,000, skepticism is creeping in. After all, It’s Always Sunny has garnered a reputation for welcoming celebrities into its hilariously twisted world, but is Pitt really ready for that kind of comedic humiliation?

The series, which has seen many prestigious guests take a dive into its eccentric humor over the past 20 years, is no stranger to star-studded guest appearances. From Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro to chart-topping singer Josh Groban, the show has a rich history of A-listers letting loose and embracing absurdity. Most notably, Groban once played himself only to have Dee dream of marrying Pitt, who may or may not become a McPoyle in a future episode—if the rumors hold true.

The chatter ignited on social media when the added flair of a viral graphic caught the attention of the Always Sunny subreddit, sparking excitement among fans. "Make him a McPoyle," exclaimed the most upvoted comment, demonstrating just how ready fans are for Pitt to join the ranks of the show’s infamous guest stars. Imagine him in a wild, absurd storyline that only the creators can concoct!

However, it’s essential to view the claims through a discerning lens. Despite the thrilling idea of Pitt’s potential involvement, no credible sources have echoed the rumors. This could just be another wishful thinking encapsulated in the chaotic world of social media. Plus, given that Season 17 filming wrapped up last December and the season is slated for a June premiere, the timing for Pitt to wiggle into an episode becomes quite tricky.

Pitt’s alleged entry into the Always Sunny universe raises an interesting point, as he and the show’s creator, Rob McElhenney, share a tangled past. McElhenney once touted his first major acting experience as a teenager in the 1997 film The Devil's Own, which starred Pitt. Unfortunately for McElhenney, his youthful excitement turned to embarrassment when he discovered that all his scenes had been cut, with none making it to the final edit. Talk about a comedy of errors!

So, will Brad Pitt allow himself to be at the mercy of Dennis, Dee, Charlie, Mac, and Frank? The mere thought of “Hollywood Mac” has fans giggling at the possibility of him getting wildly involved in situations that defy logic. Headhunters behind the scenes surely know that adding a megastar like Pitt would not only provide hilarious material but also pull in viewership numbers higher than ever.

At the moment, it's a blend of hope and hesitation as fans hold their breath while awaiting a definitive answer—will Pitt make a cameo or will this be just another rumor swirling through the entertainment ether? With its unfiltered comedy style and adeptness at bringing in guest stars who relish in absurdity, 'It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia' could undoubtedly transform Brad Pitt into a character we never knew we needed.
