During a performance at the Parklife Festival in Manchester, Ocean sported a graphic tee with Pitt’s face emblazoned on it. Previously, Pitt had praised Ocean, saying in an interview with [_GQ_](http://time.com/4764906/brad-pitt-breakup-playlist/) that “I find this young man so special,” he said. “Talk about getting to the raw truth. He’s painfully honest. He’s very, very special. I can’t find a bad \[song\].” This [burgeoning bromance](http://time.com/4795597/justin-trudeau-emmanuel-macron-photos/) is the kind of beautiful friendship we need. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4814955/frank-ocean-brad-pitt-bromance/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4814955/frank-ocean-brad-pitt-bromance/"},"headline":"A Frank Ocean and Brad Pitt Friendship Is the Bromance We Need","datePublished":"2017-06-12T17:04:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:24.681Z","description":"Frank and Brad forever","url":"https://time.com/4814955/frank-ocean-brad-pitt-bromance/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","Brad Pitt","Frank Ocean"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4814955/frank-ocean-brad-pitt-bromance/","name":"A Frank Ocean and Brad Pitt Friendship Is the Bromance We Need"}}]}] ```
