Tory leadership candidate Rory Stewart explained that, although Brad Pitt’s production company Plan B Entertainment bought the rights to his life story, the actor and businessman gave up once Mr Stewart became a Tory. Mr Stewart joked to those among the crowd that he was hopeful that Danny Devito would play him in the retelling of his life. He announced to the crowd: “I was really keen to get Danny Devito to play.
“The story of my life sounded really good and was really attractive to Bradd Pitt.
“That is until I became a Conservative MP.
“At which he gave up on the whole thing.”
Despite it remaining doubtful that Rory Stewart will succeed in his leadership bid, his life story has garnered attention from his fierce critics.
