You'd think being the child of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe would set you on a natural career path of acting, but not Deacon Phillippe. No, he wants to be a pizza delivery boy!
Reese told Daily Express newspaper, "He wants to be a pizza delivery boy,” says Reese. “Not that there is anything wrong with that but it’s hard to see how it could be a career as such."
Well, now Deacon is being offered a position at Pizza Hut. It will be a while before he shows up at your door to deliver your large Pepperoni, seeing as he is only four-years old right now. Pizza Hut has sent a letter (posted below) to Deacon via Extra, as well as a uniform and gift certificates.
In that case, I'd like to work the drive-thru at Chick-Fil-A when I grow up. Do you hear that, Chick-Fil-A??? Feel free to send me gift certificates.

Dear Deacon,
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:
- Pizza Hut uniform that’s just your size
- Mini delivery car for you to polish your driving skills
- Gift cards so that you can order Pizza Hut pizzas and deliver them to your friends and family
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.
Deacon, keep on dreaming big and know that we’re saving a spot for you on our team. Have fun practicing your Pizza Hut delivery driver skills!
Sincerely,
Sandi Karrmann
Chief People Officer, Pizza Hut
