Bon Iver Fan Brad Pitt Now Into Frank Ocean
Brad Pitt is in the midst of divorcing Angelina Jolie, and he’s turned to sad music and sculpture to help himself cope during this time. While in March he was holing himself up in a friend’s art studio for 15-hour days of “Waylon Jennings’ ‘Just To Satisfy You’ and lots of Bon Iver,” the actor has recently shifted his listening habits to Frank Ocean. As Pitt explains in a new profile with GQ: “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 one.”
Pitt’s also been listening to, devastatingly enough, Marvin Gaye’s 1978 divorce album Here, My Dear. The whole interview reveals he’s in a real solemn place, working out demons that have plagued him for a while and making sense of the mistakes he’s made in recent years. The most depressing quote from the whole piece though: “I get up every morning and I make a fire. When I go to bed, I make a fire, just because — it makes me feel life. I just feel life in this house.” Dude 🙁
