Brad Pitt was unseated as Hollywood's biggest male movie star—at least as far as singer Shania Twain is concerned.

Twain famously name-checks the actor in her 1998 hit "That Don't Impress Me Much."

But when it came time to perform the song as part of a medley for the People's Choice Awards back in December, Twain had a very different star on the the brain—fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds.

Now, Pitt is responding to the snub—jokingly, of course.

During a press interview for his latest film, Damien Chazelle's Babylon, Pitt was asked about Twain's switch-up.

He had the perfect response.

Twain's tune is a take-down of narcissistic men who try to woo women with superficial things.

And when it comes to men who rely on their looks, Twain name-checks Pitt to make her point. After mocking her would-be beau's obsession with his hair, she quips, "Okay, so you're Brad Pitt. That don't impress me much."

The tune's witty clapbacks at arrogant men made it the third-biggest single of Twain's career at the time.

Asked about how he felt after Reynolds "stole his thunder," Pitt joked:

"He didn’t steal it. I think we can share the wealth there."
"Yeah, Ryan’s a good egg, too. He deserves some love. I think they ought to pass it on down, and next time she ought to sing it to Austin Butler…"
"Maybe Leo [DiCaprio] in between and then Austin Butler."

Hey, if anyone can crown Hollywood's newest #1 leading man, it's Shania Twain, right?

Of course, fans online loved Pitt's response.


And people are definitely here for Twain's return to the spotlight.

She releases her new album Queen of Me on February 3.





As for Reynolds, he was thrilled to unseat Pitt as Twain's go-to male star.

In an Instagram Story shortly after the performance, he quipped:

"This may be the best thing that’s ever happened to me."

Hey, who needs an Oscar when you've got Shania Twain's stamp of approval?

The latest example, which is reminding some of an elderly Biff Tannen from Back to the Future, is Tom Cruise's portrayal of the fictional character Digger Rockwell, a wealthy oil tycoon who must help undo the harm that he's created for the planet and its people.

In an appearance on the Fly Zone USA podcast, conspiracy theorist, antivax grifter, and MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. once again praised the "encyclopedic" intellect of his boss.

Back in March while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Kennedy claimed Trump had an "encyclopedic, molecular knowledge." Like a broken record, he's made the same claim and used the same anecdotes as proof numerous times before and since.
