Hollywood stars rock Kerala mundus: Brad Pitt lays bricks, Angelina Jolie makes pots, and Johnny Depp sips tea

Move over Messi in Kerala—Hollywood’s A-list just got a very Malayali makeover, and social media is living for it.

A new viral reel stitches together deepfaked glimpses of global stars in wildly desi avatars. Think Brad Pitt carrying a cement pan with the weariness of a man who knows humidity too well, or Kate Winslet—once clinging to Jack on the Titanic—now clinging to a sack of fresh tea leaves at a hillside plantation. It’s bizarre. It’s brilliant.

It’s exactly the kind of Internet chaos we didn’t know we needed. The edit is so seamless and cheeky, it almost feels real.

One scroll-stopping moment shows Johnny Depp casually sitting at a nondescript tea shack, mundu folded up just right, as if he’s gearing up for a second cup and some beef fry with his daily Malyalalam newspaper.

Angelina Jolie, ever the goddess, looks positively serene while working a potter’s wheel, bangles and all. This isn’t just a reel—it’s fan fiction meets cultural crossover.

My favourite is Leonardo Di Caprio playing our very own bus conductor in a State-run bus in Kerala and Keanu Reeves playing a dishy mechanic in a mundu.

And while it may not be winning Oscars anytime soon, it’s definitely breaking the Internet in Kerala, one sassy stitch at a time. We’re not saying we want a Hollywood-in-Kerala cinematic universe. But if the sequel has Jason Momoa selling coconuts by the beach, we’re all in.
