Brad Pitt Reveals His One Condition for Doing a Movie With Tom Cruise
Originally appeared on E! Online
Brad Pitt's first rule of action movies: They must stay on the ground.
While the F1 star has appeared in countless action films throughout his career, he has a single condition for costarring in another movie with Tom Cruise.
'I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplane [and] s--t like that,' Brad said in an exclusive interview with E! News that aired June 12, quipping that he'll reunite with his Interview With the Vampire costar 'when he does something again that's on the ground.'
Though the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actor won't be imitating the stunts Tom performed himself throughout the Mission: Impossible franchise, he has nothing but respect for his fellow performer, with whom he would race go carts while filming their 1994 vampire flick.
'He got me in the end,' Brad said of their playful competitions. 'I gotta admit.'
And the respect is mutual. In fact, Tom shared his excitement for Brad's Formula 1 movie earlier this year and called the Fight Club star his 'friend' while discussing their go cart rivalry.

'It's great to see Brad driving,' the Jerry Maguire actor said during a Paramount panel in April, according to CinemaBlend. 'He's very good. He's a very good driver. Believe me, I've raced against him.'
And his stunt rule isn't the only boundary Brad has made on movie sets. The 61-year-old also had strict superstitions he followed while on the set of F1.
'My OCD: before getting in the car, I always have to get in on the left side,' Brad told E!. 'I have to put my left shoe on first, I'd have to put my left glove on first.'
And even when getting buckled into his seat, Brad was particular about which side of the belt the crew members started with.
'The guys knew they had to do left first,' he explained. 'If they didn't, we had to start over.'
F1 premieres in theaters June 27. In the meantime, read on to see other exciting films coming out this summer.

Cruise Will Receive an Honorary Oscar at Governors Awards
Despite his death-defying stunts as the spy Ethan Hunt, Tom Cruise has yet to land an Oscar for any of the eight installments of the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise. His portrayal of the sports agent Jerry Maguire in 1996 earned him a nod from the film academy for best actor, and as a producer he was up for best motion picture in 2023 with 'Top Gun: Maverick.' But his career has not included a golden Oscars statuette. Until now. In November, Cruise will receive an honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards, alongside the production designer Wynn Thomas, and the choreographer and actress Debbie Allen, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Tuesday. Dolly Parton, the singer and actress, will be presented with the annual Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her charitable works. The honorary awards, in their 16th year, are given out by the academy's board of governors to recognize 'extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement' in the film industry or 'outstanding contributions' to the state of filmmaking. They will be presented months before the main Oscars ceremony in March and will not be televised. This time the awards celebrate four 'individuals whose extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to leave a lasting impact,' the academy president, Janet Yang, said in a statement. Cruise, 62, was first nominated for an Academy Award in 1990 for his portrayal of Ron Kovic, a Vietnam War veteran, in the biographical film 'Born on the Fourth of July.' He has received three other nominations since then, for 'Jerry Maguire,' 'Magnolia,' and 'Top Gun: Maverick.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
