Celebrities invited to President Donald Trump’s UFC fight card at the White House on June 14 include actor-comedian Adam Sandler, ex-NFL great Tom Brady, pro wrestler-turned-action hero Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, “Access Hollywood” host Mario Lopez, actor Jared Leto, big-screen badass Jason Statham and director Guy Ritchie, Time reported on Tuesday.
Lopez was asked to attend, his rep confirmed to celebrity.land on Wednesday, but will not make it due to “work commitments.”
The event falls on Trump’s 80th birthday and is also intended as an early celebration for the country’s birthday.
Those seven men made UFC boss Dana White’s guest list. The White House and sports firm TKO will be adding names as well, Time wrote. Meanwhile, 1,200 of the 4,300 seats in the temporary arena being built on the South Lawn will go to service members.
The nearby Ellipse viewing party and fan fest can accommodate up to 85,000 fans, White told Trump in the Time article.
The weigh-in will be conducted at the Lincoln Memorial, The New York Times reported.
There is a loose thread among the aforementioned stars. They are all fight fans. Johnson, Statham and Lopez have all played guys who kick butt on the big screen or small. (Martial arts enthusiast Lopez, if you’ll recall, played a high school wrestler on “Saved by the Bell.”)
It wasn’t entirely clear if the celebrities had confirmed their attendance.
celebrity.land is reaching out to their reps to ask about their status for the event.
