was that Brad Pitt playing Fauci on SNL?

1. Pitt is far more than a pretty face, he's quite talented. I noticed he even threw in some

of Fauci's New Yawk accented words. He did a great job, a very talented guy.

2. I agree

He’s very funny, too! You don’t really think of him as a comedic actor.

3. Yes, that's who it was

I didn't recognize him either until he took off the wig. The video:

4. If you watch the whole thing, he reverts to his normal self at the end.

Takes off the wig and glasses, then speaks in his regular voice to thank Fauci and front line workers.

5. One more reason to love Brad.

You should also see his take on local weathermen.
