Shawn Michaels Picks Hollywood Superstar Brad Pitt to Portray His Character in a Movie

Shawn Michaels has played a key role in shaping NXT as its creative head under WWE’s new management, focusing on developing future talent. Recently, he expressed his desire for Brad Pitt to portray him in a movie as well.

Since taking over the day-to-day operations of NXT from Triple H, Shawn Michaels has revealed a different side to fans. He has not only thrived as a mentor for rising WWE talent but has also quickly adapted to using social media.

WWE NXT’s official Instagram asked NXT stars which actors they would want to play them in a movie. When Shawn Michaels was asked, he suggested Brad Pitt to portray his younger self. As for his current self, Michaels joked that no one alive could accurately play him.

”Young me? Brad Pitt. Old me? Uh, I don’t even want to think about it, he’s probably not with us anymore.”

Shawn Michaels truly lived up to his Heartbreak Kid moniker when he was younger and he truly lived the gimmick as well, so Brad Pitt is undoubtedly a great choice to portray him in a movie. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Pitt will ever portray Michaels in the future.
