Brad Pitt showed some hometown love to graduates from Missouri State University via video. As a former MSU student, Brad gave words of encouragement to the Class of 2020 and wished them well as they navigate post-college life during a pandemic.

We have one more surprise for our #BearGrads: A special message from one of Springfield’s own.

Thanks, Brad. pic.twitter.com/tCtWgzhozI
