After Sam Elliott\u2019s mind-boggling $4 Million \u201cGo From There\u201d campaign ad that was launched during game 1 of the World Series, another Joe Biden campaign was flashed to the viewers of the highly watched game 4 of Major League Baseball&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/world-series-game-4-2020-recap\">World Series game 2020<\/a> last October 25.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brad Pitt lent his voice for the candidate\u2019s <strong>\u201cMake Life Better\u201d<\/strong> campaign. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike Elliott\u2019s ad, the campaign did not reveal how much it cost to air Brad Pitt\u2019s ad. However, Joe Biden announced on October 15 that his campaign was able to raise $383 million in September. It surpassed his August haul of $364.5 million.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2020\/10\/14\/politics\/biden-september-fundraising\/index.html\">According to CNN<\/a>, it was categorized as &#8220;the best month of online fundraising in American political history.&#8221; Jen O\u2019Malley Dillon, Biden\u2019s campaign manager stated that he has enough funds to sustain him through the last lap of the Presidential campaign. So it is not surprising that the candidate was able to afford two air times during the World Series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The clipping showed pre-pandemic footage of the candidate with his wife Dr. Jill Biden on their campaign trail, shaking hands, hugging, and talking, and connecting to a variety of people across America, with the American flag in the picture.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind the soft exchange of thoughts between the people in the ad, you will hear a familiar voice in the background, enticing and encouraging people to listen to what he has to say about the candidate. The ad is said to have shown criticism on how the rival candidate saw America as \u201cthe red\u201d and \u201cblue states\u201d that was mentioned in the debate between the rivals, compared to Biden\u2019s vision of a unified America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The award-winning actor started by saying that <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;America is a place for everyone.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pitt then continues with,<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;Those who chose this county, those who fought for it, some Republicans, some Democrats, and most just somewhere in between.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the ad, Brad Pitt mentioned that Americans are all looking for the same thing: they are looking for someone who understands their hopes, their dreams, their pain. That Americans are looking for someone who will listen and will bring people together, and for someone who will look them in the eye and treat them with respect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, Pitt stated that it is nonsense to support a politician during elections who will ignore those who did not support him.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ad finished with Brad Pitt saying: <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cto be a president for all Americans.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Elliott, Brad Pitt also did not appear on the campaign material. While Pitt did not openly admit that it was his voice, people cannot be mistaken. His endorsement also did not come as a surprise because he was a vocal supporter of former president Barrack Obama, and has been in support of Democratic candidates.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016 in his interview with T magazine, he stated that a Trump supporter is fighting against just about everything. He demanded an explanation from the supporters by saying, <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat does he even mean, take our country back? Would someone please explain that to me?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2020\/02\/10\/brad-pitt-donald-trump-impeachment-oscars-speech-best-supporting-actor-12211813\/\">Pitt even threw a shade about Trump\u2019s impeachment verdict<\/a> and used his precious 45-second speech while receiving his Oscar\u2019s award for best supporting actor for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. In his speech last February, he said: <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brad Pitt is not the only Hollywood actor who expressed his support for the candidate.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lopez, Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson, and Taylor Swift endorsed the candidates and helped raise money for Biden and Democratic candidates in the past weeks. Jennifer Lawrence, Demi Lovato, and some Avengers cast also expressed their support for the candidate. South Asian celebrities such as Kumail Nanjiani and Mindy Kaling also supported Biden.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pitt has been taking part in a table read for &#8220;Fast Times at Ridgemont High&#8221; alongside stars like Jennifer Aniston, Sean Penn, Julia Roberts, and Matthew McConaughey. Besides this Biden campaign, the actor and film producer has voiced several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/character-voices.php?skills=6\">animated characters<\/a>. He was the voice actor behind Will the Krill in Happy Feet in 2011, Megamind\u2019s Metro Man in 2010, and Sinbad, the main character in Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas in 2003.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also did brief voice-over work for episode 66 of Saturday TV Funhouse in 2002.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, the actor was heavily criticized for appearing in the <a href=\"https:\/\/popculture.com\/celebrity\/news\/brad-pitt-new-commercial-ad-french-bank-controversy\/\">controversial commercial for a French bank named Boursorama<\/a>. The bank reportedly paid the actor $6 million dollars for appearing in the ad. At the time, the bank was being sued for not accepting American-born customers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The commercial featured Brad Pitt walking around New York City while using Boursorama services and talking to the camera. However, there is no audio at all. The controversy lies in the voiceover at the end of the ad. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/voice-talent.php?gender=1,2&amp;language=36&amp;age=&amp;extraSkills=#\">French voiceover<\/a> says, <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe do not need Brad Pitt to recommend Boursorama Bank because no one does it better than our customers.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3993,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,515,5,1],"tags":[392,48],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3992"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3992"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3992\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4663,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3992\/revisions\/4663"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
