Brad Pitt Denies He-man Rumors

Brad Pitt has laughed off claims he is to star as cartoon hero He-Man in a live-action movie adaptation.

A British newspaper claimed the star is in talks with Superman Returns moviemakers to recreate the 1980s cult character.

A source was quoted saying, "Producers are very keen on Brad for the role. He'll have to bulk up though - he's very fit but not to He-Man proportions."

But Pitt's publicist Cindy Guagenti has told The Celebrity Truth the claim is "completely not true".
