Brad Pitt has been a big Frank Ocean fan for a long time, and has now revealed his favorite song from the elusive R&B singer.
In a viral video that surfaced on Monday (September 2), a fan filmed themselves bumping into the Hollywood icon at Venice Film Festival in Italy, where he was premiering his new film Wolfs.
As Pitt heads up the stairs, the fan asks him what his favorite Frank Ocean song is, to which the Fight Club actor takes a moment to think before replying: “What’s the one with the ‘S’ with the guy’s name?”
The fan replies: “‘Siegfried?” with the Oscar-winner confirming that the Blonde deep cut is indeed his favorite from Frank’s catalog.

Brad Pitt previously revealed that listening to Frank Ocean’s music helped him process his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
He told GQ in 2017: “I find this young man so special. Talk about getting to the raw truth. He’s painfully honest. He’s very, very special. I can’t find a bad [song].”
Pitt subsequently made a cameo appearance during the singer’s performance at L.A.’s FYF Festival later that year.
The actor popped up on the big screens as Ocean performed a medley of “Close to You” and Stevie Wonder’s “Never Can Say Goodbye,” and could be seen talking on a phone from elsewhere at the festival.

Frank Ocean isn’t the only famous artist Brad Pitt is friendly with as Travis Scott previously revealed he gets Christmas gifts from the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star.
Earlier this year, Scott posted a picture on social media of a gift basket he received from Pitt containing a signed note from the actor, wine from his estate in France and other food and drink goodies.
Alongside the image, La Flame wrote: “Brad Pitt my dawg 5 ever.”
While the connection may seem random, the Cactus Jack rapper recorded much of his UTOPIA album at the refurbished Miraval Studios at Pitt’s estate in the south of France, with Travis sharing multiple pictures of the opulent property during the making of his chart-topping project.
Pitt refurbed the famed studios with three editing booths for video and sound, production offices, a recording studio, kitchen, artist salon, two guest suites and a 115-foot saltwater pool.
