Deacon Phillippe lands job offer from Pizza Hut

When he gets a little older, Deacon Phillippe can rest assured that there will indeed be a job waiting for him with Pizza Hut.  Upon learning of Deacon’s dream to become a pizza delivery driver the pizza chain’s ‘Chief People Officer’ Sandi Karrmann wrote to the 4-year-old — son of actors Reese Witherspoon, 31, and Ryan Phillippe, 33 — encouraging the tot to "keep on dreaming big and know that we’re saving a spot for you on our team."

We have delivery drivers who have worked for us for 10, 15, even 20 years!  And the same Pizza Hut drivers who deliver hot, fresh pizzas right to your door have gone on to become successful businessmen, doctors, lawyers and, yes, actors.

To help keep the dream alive, Sandi gifted Deacon with a mini-delivery car, gift cards for Pizza Hut pizzas and a Pizza Hut uniform "that’s just your size."  Said Sandi’s letter to Deacon,

You’ve got several years to go before you can join our team, but in the meantime we’re sending you a few things…Have fun practicing your Pizza Hut delivery driver skills!

Reese and Ryan also have a daughter, 8-year-old Ava

I don’t want anyone else to deliver my large, stuffed crust with pineapple and ham except Deacon.

God, that strikes me as low. I mean, could they be anymore obvious with advertising?

- poppy on

I agree with Poppy, this is insanely commercial, they probably called Extra to tell them what they did too.
