NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- You can take Brad Pitt out of Missouri but you can't take Missouri out of Brad Pitt.
The actor and Springfield, Missouri, native recorded a message for seniors at Missouri State, which the college tweeted out Monday.
The video was posted on MSU's Twitter feed and starts with the university's president, Clif Smart, saying he needed one more special guest to deliver a message to students who were graduating at home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Then, tah-dah! Pit pops up on screen.
"Hi everyone," Pitt says. "Brad here from quarantine with a shout-out to the graduating class of Missouri State University. Yeah, it must be very strange doing this in these trying times, but know we're rooting for you," he says, adding, "Our money's on you to make this world a better place. And we wish you all the best in your future endeavors. So, you did it. You made it. Enjoy. Congrats again, and think big."
