Frank Ocean, a self-proclaimed fan of “Call Me By Your Name,” interviewed Timothée Chalamet, an Ocean superfan, for a V-Man feature that sent the Internet into cyber hyperventilation.

Ocean called Chalamet for the phone interview and immediately Chalamet was trying to contain his excitement.

“This is so exciting. It is an honor to speak to you, man. I’m such a huge fan. This is going to be a real test to keep my voice level and keep this as normal of a conversation as possible,” Chalamet says.

Ocean asks “Has anyone on the street called you Elio yet?” and Chalemet shared that he gets spotted more for his role in “Lady Bird.”

“That’s been happening. Though riding the 2 train or taking the M12 bus around the city, that hasn’t changed; I guess people don’t really give a fuck in New York. I actually get more people stopping me for Lady Bird, and going, “Is that the douchebag from ‘Lady Bird?’ So that’s awesome. I’ve seen certain actors, or musicians like you, keep a sense of integrity and mystery,” Chalamet says.

Ocean also pointed out why he thinks Elio was a good breakout role for Chalamet.

“I think it’s also good for you that this is your opening song,” Ocean says. “It’s such a proper foundation, to do roles like these that have so much heart and vulnerability in the very beginning, completely boutique or small, but on the lips of so many.”

Later in the interview, Chalamet starts to sing Ocean’s “Seigfried” lyrics to him causing Ocean to laugh.

“Don’t do that,” Ocean says.

The pair also discussed their mutual admiration for Joaquin Phoenix, the best places to eat in New York City and Sufjan Stevens.

The internet was thrilled that the two artists were able to connect.

An estimated 1.6 million people on Saturday attended Madonna’s free concert on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach.

The concert, which was the last one as part of Madonna’s Celebration Tour, included a tribute to people lost to AIDS.

Bob the Drag Queen introduced Madonna before the concert began. Pabllo Vittar, a Brazilian drag queen and singer, and Anitta, a bisexual pop star who was born in Rio’s Honório Gurgel neighborhood, also joined Madonna on stage.

Congresswoman Erika Hilton, a Black travesti and former sex worker, and Rio Municipal Councilwoman Mônica Benício, the widow of Marielle Franco, a bisexual Rio Municipal Councilwoman who was assassinated in 2018, are among those who attended the concert.

“Madonna showed that we fight important fights for the human rights of Black (people), young (people), women and LGBTQIA+ people, and against all injustice, discrimination, and violence,” said Associaçao Nacional de Travestis e Transexuais (National Association of Travestis and Transsexuals), a Brazilian trans rights group known by the acronym ANTRA, on its X account. “What they call identitarianism’ is our subversion to the retrograde and conservative tackiness that plagues the country.”

The Associated Press reported the concert was Madonna’s biggest ever.
