Sam Darnold Picks Brad Pitt to Play Him After Seahawks' Super Bowl Win

The Seahawks quarterback leans into his redemption story with playful casting talk during celebratory appearances.

Overview

  • Darnold told TMZ he thinks Brad Pitt could portray him in a movie and first joked about 'Ron Weasley,' referring to Rupert Grint, before mentioning Jesse Plemons.
  • His comments came during fan events that included serving at Raising Cane's and a celebratory trip to Disneyland.
  • Seattle defeated New England 29-13 at Super Bowl 60 at Levi's Stadium, capping Darnold's turnaround season.
  • He said his rise owed to trusting his inner circle and ignoring doubters, offering, "Just believe in yourself."
  • Darnold joked he would keep Seattle's parade alcohol-free, then clarified he was being facetious, as offseason questions such as Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III's contract outlook draw early attention, with a CBS Sports analyst predicting no franchise tag.
