Travis Scott Surprised to Learn Actor Adrien Brody Makes Beats

Travis Scott is used to fans approaching him, but he didn’t expect an Oscar-winning actor to be among them.
In a new Complex cover story published this week, the Utopia rapper recalled a recent run-in with Adrien Brody during Paris Fashion Week, where the actor surprised him not only by being a supporter of his music, but by revealing he’s also a beatmaker.
“I sat next to him and I’m like, ‘F***, I don’t even know if this dude knows who I am,’” Scott said. “And the first thing he tells me is, ‘Yo, bro, I f*** with your s***.’ And I’m like, ‘What the f***?’”
Brody, who recently won the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in The Brutalist, went on to tell Scott that he produces music. “You know, I make beats and s***,” Brody said, according to Scott. “I’m like, ‘You got to send me some beats!’ So we chopped it up. Man, that f***ed me up. That’s crazy.”
Scott told Complex the encounter stuck with him — not just because he’s a fan of Brody’s acting work, including roles in Wes Anderson films, but also because of the unexpected creative overlap. “That movie is hard as f***,” he said of The Brutalist. “I hope he wins Best Actor. That’s my dog.”
Brody’s musical side isn’t new. In a 2024 interview with the Los Angeles Times, he revealed that his early beatmaking dates back to the mid-’90s after working on Angels in the Outfield.
“I hung out with some kids in The Bay in Oakland who were producing and rapping… I started producing tracks with these guys and learned how to do it and went back to LA, and this was before the internet.”
Scott, whose album Utopia debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2023, continues to blur the lines between hip-hop, art, and pop culture. His Coachella set this weekend marks his first time headlining the festival, where he’ll join fellow headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone.
