President Donald Trumps officials will have their work cut out for them if they want to show the president surrounded by celebrities during his UFC Freedom 250 birthday party celebration this month.
According to Vanity Fair, UFC President Dana Whites celebrity guest list, which he revealed included Adam Sandler, filmmaker Guy Ritchie, Tom Brady, Oscar winner Jared Leto, action star Jason Statham, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, and TV host Mario Lopez, will come up empty for manyif not allof those names.
A source close to Johnson told the publication that the wrestler-turned-actor will not attend. Neither will Sandler, Leto, or even Lopez, who has publicly identified as a conservative. Vanity Fair reports that the remaining invitees had not responded to multiple requests for comment. The Daily Beast has also reached out to representatives for the aforementioned celebrities.
Longtime UFC fan Jon Favreau, director of The Mandalorian and Grogu and icon of the Iron Man franchise, did not return a request for comment when speculation arose on Friday that he received an invitation.
