“Hey Britain - heard you just became single. Welcome to the club,” he said - one of several references during the ceremony to the UK’s exit from the European Union, which became official on Friday.

Pitt also referenced recent tumult in Britain’s royal family, saying he was going to name the trophy Harry, "because he’s really excited about bringing it back to the States with him."
