The Radiohead frontman has revealed that Ed Norton and Brad Pitt asked him to score the 1999 cult classic.

Thom Yorke has revealed he turned down the chance to work on the soundtrack for Fight Club, even though he written to personally by the film's starring actors Brad Pitt and Ed Norton.

The Radiohead frontman has recently scored the remake of Suspiria, but explained it's not the only time he's been asked to work on the music for a film.

Things sort of come into my office, but they haven’t really got to me,” he told the BBC.

“The one I remember is one from years ago after we’d finished OK Computer and I was completely gaga,” he continued.

“They asked me to do Fight Club. They sent me the script and Ed and Brad Pitt wrote to me and said ‘We really think you should do this’. I went ‘Nah, I can’t’. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t have been able to do it then, but every time I see the film I go ‘Oh…’.”

Talking about why she shared the lines, he told the BBC: “I was watching the Conservative conference this week, thinking ‘ignorance is strength’. ‘No, no, it’s not happening! We’re stronger together! Opportunity for all!’"

He added: "What I find frightening now – I thought it was a joke and you expect a joke to stop.”
