The Superficial tips us to a story about Reese Witherspoon’s four year old son, Deacon, who wants to be a pizza delivery guy when he grows up according to comments Witherspoon made to Britains’s Daily Express. Without losing a beat, Pizza Hut’ Chief People Officer (you’ve got to be kidding) rushed a letter over to Deacon which read, in part, “We recently heard that you want to be a pizza delivery driver when you grow up. How wonderful! You’ve got several years to go before you can join our team, but in the meantime we’re sending you a few things, so that you can practice.”

Along with the letter came a Pizza Hut uniform, a miniature delivery vehicle and Pizza Hut coupons. Way to glom on to the dreams and aspirations of Hollywood’s tiniest, Pizza Hut. Photo courtesy of Just Jared. See the full letter there too.
