Dwayne âThe Rockâ Johnson, Jared Leto and Adam Sandler are among the celebrities who declined invites to Trumpâs UFC Freedom 250 event
Several A-list celebrities invited to President Donald Trumpâs UFC cage fight on the White House lawn later this month have no plans to show up, according to a new report, becoming the latest group to snub a presidential celebration of Americaâs 250th anniversary.
Comedian Adam Sandler, actor and former professional wrestler Dwayne âThe Rockâ Johnson, actor and musician Jared Leto and television host Mario Lopez are among the names that UFC President and CEO Dana White told Time were invited to the event on Trumpâs birthday, June 14.
But representatives for the stars, and one person close to Johnson, told Vanity Fair that none of them plan to attend.
Itâs the latest group of high-profile figures to decline an invite to a Trump-linked event in celebration of Americaâs 250th anniversary. Last month, the administration was dealt a blow when several musicians pulled out of performances at the Great American State Fair after learning the event was sponsored by Freedom 250, a Trump-affiliated group.
The Independent has asked the White House and UFC for comment.
