Brad Pitt and Edward Norton have been spotted together in the stands at the World Cup – and everyone made the same joke about it.
The actors were watching the USA’s group stage match against Turkey at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Thursday night (June 25) at Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, California. Pitt was wearing a Team USA shirt and white bucket hat, while Norton was seen sporting a Radiohead T-shirt.
Turkey grabbed a last-minute winner in the game, but for many film fans, the real talking point was the unexpected reunion from David Fincher’s 1999 cult classic Fight Club.
In the film, Norton plays the unnamed narrator, a disaffected office worker suffering from insomnia, while Pitt plays the charismatic soap salesman Tyler Durden. The unforgettable twist, however, reveals that Tyler is just a projection of the narrator’s own fractured psyche, and Norton has in effect been talking to himself throughout the film.
It meant that the very sight of Norton and Pitt standing together at the World Cup led to many social media users racing to make the same gag: that Norton was “talking to himself”.
