F1’s Brad Pitt Will Work With Tom Cruise Again on 1 Condition
Brad Pitt, the co-lead of the upcoming sports drama F1, has expressed interest in working with Tom Cruise again, though he has one condition. Notably, the Hollywood megastars have previously acted together on 1994’s Interview with the Vampire, director Neil Jordan’s cinematic adaptation of Anne Rice’s 1976 novel of the same name.
Brad Pitt is open to working with Tom Cruise again, but won’t ‘hang off’ airplanes
Pitt is open to collaborating with Cruise one more time after Interview with the Vampire, but has set one condition. When asked by E! News when they would appear on screen again, Pitt recently said, “Well, I’m not gonna hang my a– off airplanes and s— like that, so when he does something again that’s on the ground.”
The actor also reflected on the positive things that Cruise had said about F1 and called him “sweet.” He noted that he and Cruise had their “go-kart days back in the early ’90s.” Cruise has previously spoken about this. He revealed that he and Pitt used to drive go-karts right after they were finished filming for Interview with the Vampire, and said that Pitt was “a very good driver.” (via Cinemablend)
Pitt’s above-mentioned reservations are not entirely unfounded, given the type of stunts that Cruise performs for his movies. Joseph Kosinski, the director of F1, has previously worked with Cruise on Top Gun: Maverick. During a May interview with GQ, Kosinski spoke about how the two actors dealt with stunt sequences. “Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled,” he observed. “They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more,” Kosinski added.
In Interview with the Vampire, Cruise played Lestat de Lioncourt, whereas Pitt essayed the role of Louis de Pointe du Lac. Following its release, the movie became a critical and commercial success and received multiple Oscar nominations.
