Brad Pitt Makes Jackass Return in Best and Last, But Not How Fans Want

Academy Award winner Brad Pitt made an unexpected appearance in Jackass: Best and Last, which is now playing in theaters. This comes after Pitt famously appeared in the original reality comedy show’s final season to join the cast for two iconic stunts. The first one was pranking bystanders by staging an abduction where a group of guys in ski masks takes a screaming Pitt into a black van. The acclaimed actor also participated in the cast’s “Night Monkey” skit, which featured Pitt wearing a full gorilla suit as they ran amok through the streets of Los Angeles.

After years of fans wanting Pitt back with the Jackass crew, he finally appeared in the franchise’s latest movie, Jackass: Best and Last. However, it isn’t exactly the return that fans were anticipating. Following the film’s release, it has been revealed that Pitt actually appears in the new Jackass movie through an extended footage of his famous abduction scene.
