Brad Pitt willing to work with Tom Cruise
Hollywood heavyweights Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise may finally be reuniting on screen after more than three decades, but under one condition but.
While promoting his upcoming racing film F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski, Pitt spoke with E! News and surprised fans by expressing interest in collaborating again with Cruise.
The two previously starred in the 1994 gothic hit Interview with the Vampire.
Addressing the long-standing curiosity about a potential reunion, Pitt shared that he’s open to working with Cruise, but the project must be “something really special.”
“I’ve got nothing but respect for Tom. He’s a powerhouse,” Pitt said. “If the right script comes along — something unique, something neither of us has done – I’d absolutely be in.”
Pitt’s comments have ignited buzz in the entertainment world, with fans eager to see the two legends collaborate once more. Whether or not that dream pairing comes true now rests on Hollywood’s ability to deliver the right story.
Brad Pitt told E! News at the Mexico premiere of “F1” that he would be interested in acting opposite Tom Cruise again, as long as it doesn’t require any death-defying aerial stunts. The two A-listers famously starred together in the 1994 horror drama “Interview with the Vampire.” Pitt and Cruise never reunited on screen after that.
Pitt’s F1 movie is directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

Kosinski recently told GQ magazine that he originally planned to reunite Cruise and Pitt for his version of Ford v Ferrari, although the studio never approved his budget. James Mangold ended up directing Ford v Ferrari with Christian Bale and Matt Damon instead.
“Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled,” Kosinski said when asked about what would’ve happened had Cruise starred in F1 over Pitt.
“They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more.”
“We’d have had a crash,” the film’s action vehicle supervisor Graham Kelly quipped to GQ. “Tom pushes it to the limit. I mean really to the limit. That terrifies me. I mean, I’ve done loads of ‘Mission: Impossibles’ with Tom and it’s the most stressful experience for someone like me building cars for him, doing stunts with him. Whereas Brad listens and he knows his abilities, and I think he’d be the first to say, ‘Yeah, I’m not going to do that.’”
Pitt’s F1 is set to open in theatres June 27. Cruise opened his summer blockbuster in May with “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, in which he dangled from the side of a moving airplane during one stunt.
