He has made a name for himself starring in many successful projects likeBullet Train, Fight Club, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, andMr. and Mrs. Smith. His exceptional talent in acting has been awarded a number of times, being nominated for an Acadamy Award on six different occasions and winning twice in those, once for his work in12 Years a Slave,and then forOnce Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
Being this talented at what he does, many would expect his highest-grossing movie to be one of these masterpieces, however, the true answer to this is quite shocking.

Brad Pitt’s Highest Earning Film IsDeadpool 3
WithBrad Pitthaving been part of so many projects that were extremely successful worldwide, with movies likeOnce Upon a Time… in Hollywood, andMr. and Mrs. Smithgrossing around $400 million and $300 million respectfully, it is quite surprising to find out that his most financially successful is Ryan Reynolds’sDeadpool 2, which made $785.8 million, which is a substantial jump from his second highest grossing film,World War Z.
What makes this revelation all the more bizarre is the fact that in this film, Pitt plays an invisible character named the Vanisher, who does not speak and only shows up for two seconds of the 2-hour long film. In this two-second scene, Pitt’s character is electrocuted to death, never to be seen again. This, at the time, was unknown to the audiences, who went to watch the film, only to be surprised to see Brad Pitt himself show up for a couple of frames.

Brad Pitt Got To Work InDeadpool 2Because OfFight Club
While many A-list celebrities as famous as Brad Pitt would have said no to this type of role, making a two-second sight gag out of the world-famous actor, the Oscar-winning actor loved the idea of it. He explained that the reason he agreed to take up this project was because of the director of the film, David Leitch.
“Dave’s an old friend of mine,”Pitt explained.“In fact … he was my stunt double, starting with ‘Fight Club’ and all the way up until about [2004]. And then he went off and became a really good director, which is rare. Rare!”
While he is now a well-respected director, known for his work on massive projects likeFast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, andAtomic Blonde, Pitt has known him from much earlier. The actor revealed that Leitch used to be his stunt double for many years after they worked together on Pitt’s cult-classic film,Fight Club.
