London 06 (ANI): Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are in the list of new Who’s Who 2010 entrants.

The names come across as a surprise because the biographical compendium of society’s leading figures primarily features British people.

But in case of a foreigner, only those who have influenced life in Britain are considered for the recognition.

“People who are high achievers, household names and who have had an impact upon this country, whether it be in the world of commerce or entertainment, can make the book,” the Telegraph quoted a Who’s Who spokesman as saying.

The rep added: “We have quite a cast of American actors in Who’s Who now, this year it is Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman who are bringing Hollywood glamour to the edition.

“However, we will never disclose why or how we made the choice of who to include in the book each year.

“Unfortunately neither of them have added anything about their recreational activities, so we aren’t given any extra insights, they have just given the basic biographical information,”

Freeman’s name has been entered as Morgan Porterfield Freeman, while Pitt’s name has been entered as William Bradley Pitt. (ANI)
