Brad Pitt<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Edward Norton<\/a> have been spotted together in the stands at the World Cup \u2013 and everyone made the same joke about it.<\/p>\n

The actors were watching the USA\u2019s group stage match against Turkey at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Thursday night (June 25) at Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, California. Pitt was wearing a Team USA shirt and white bucket hat, while Norton was seen sporting a Radiohead<\/a> T-shirt.<\/p>\n

Turkey\u00a0grabbed a last-minute winner in the game, but for many film fans, the real talking point\u00a0was the unexpected reunion from\u00a0David Fincher<\/a>\u2019s 1999 cult classic\u00a0Fight Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the film, Norton plays the unnamed narrator, a disaffected office worker suffering from insomnia, while Pitt plays the charismatic soap salesman Tyler Durden. The unforgettable twist, however, reveals that Tyler is just a projection of the narrator\u2019s own fractured psyche, and Norton has in effect been talking to himself throughout the film.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0meant that the very\u00a0sight of Norton and Pitt\u00a0standing\u00a0together at the World Cup\u00a0led to many social media users\u00a0racing to\u00a0make the same gag: that Norton was \u201ctalking to himself\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pitt and Norton were among a star-studded crowd for the match, with\u00a0Will Ferrell<\/a>, Paris Hilton,\u00a0Kelly Rowland<\/a>, Keegan-Michael Key, Alison Brie, Dave\u00a0Franco\u00a0and Christopher Mintz-Plasse also among those in attendance.<\/p>\n

On the pitch,\u00a0Turkey\u00a0beat the USA 3-2 after a dramatic stoppage-time winner from Kaan Ayhan. The USA had already secured progression from Group D, however, and will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round Of 32 on July 1.<\/p>\n

\u2018Fight Club\u2019 initially divided critics on release but went on to become one of the defining cult films of the late \u201990s. It also starred Helena Bonham Carter,\u00a0Meat Loaf<\/a>,\u00a0Jared\u00a0Leto<\/a>\u00a0and Holt McCallany.<\/p>\n

Some have observed that the film anticipated the rise of so-called \u2018incels\u2019, and in 2023, Fincher argued that he is \u201cnot responsible\u201d for how people interpret the\u00a0film<\/a>, and\u00a0said he \u201ccan\u2019t help\u201d people who\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0understand that Tyler Durden is a \u201cnegative influence\u201d.<\/p>\n
