Brad Pitt presented the best supporting actress award at the 2021 Oscars on Sunday.- He said that nominee Amanda Seyfried loves the 1996 film "Romeo and Juliet" - "the Leo version."
- "Amanda, me too," he slipped into the speech.
Brad Pitt couldn't help giving his beloved Leonardo DiCaprio a shout-out at the 93rd Academy Awards on Sunday.
The "Ad Astra" star presented the Oscar for best supporting actress, and his speech included a nod to the childhood viewing habits of each nominee.
"My love of movies began at the local drive-in, watching the likes of Clint Eastwood and Godzilla. Our nominees for best supporting actress also fell in love with movies at an early age," he began.
Pitt first addressed Yuh-Jung Youn, who went on to win the award for her role in "Minari."
Next, he spoke of "Mank" star Amanda Seyfried, who was 10 years old when Baz Luhrmann directed an adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" in 1996.
"For Amanda Seyfried, it was the film version of "Romeo and Juliet." The Leo version," he clarified, before adding: "Amanda, me too."
This isn't the first time Pitt has professed his love for DiCaprio at the Oscars.
Last year, Pitt paid tribute to his "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" costar during his acceptance speech for best supporting actor.
"I'll ride on your coattails any day," he said, addressing DiCaprio. "The view's fantastic."
Once again, fans loved Pitt's quick shout-out, gushing about the actors' friendship on Twitter.
