Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Jared Leto and Adam Sandler are among the celebrities who declined invites to Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 event

Several A-list celebrities invited to Donald Trump’s UFC cage fight on the White House lawn later this month have no plans to show up, according to a new report, becoming the latest group to snub a presidential celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

Comedian Adam Sandler, actor and former professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, actor and musician Jared Leto and television host Mario Lopez are among the names that UFC President and CEO Dana White told Time were invited to the event on Trump’s birthday, June 14. But representatives for the stars, and one person close to Johnson, told Vanity Fair that none of them plan to attend.

It’s the latest group of high-profile figures to decline an invite to a Trump-linked event in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. Last month, the administration was dealt a blow when several musicians pulled out of performances at the Great American State Fair after learning the event was sponsored by Freedom 250, a Trump-affiliated group.
