Brad Pitt teases on-screen reunion with Tom Cruise, but on one condition: ‘I'm not gonna…'
Brad Pitt has made it clear, sky-high stunts are not his scene anymore. The Hollywood star, who has headlined some of the biggest action blockbusters, spoke about the possibility of sharing the screen again with Tom Cruise. And while fans might be hoping for another high-octane reunion, Pitt has one simple, very grounded condition. In a chat with E! News, Pitt offered a humorous yet pointed update on where things stand:
'I'm not gonna hang my a** off the airplane and s**t like that,' he said. Pitt, who is currently promoting his upcoming F1 racing film, added that he'd consider a reunion with Cruise 'when he does something again that's on the ground.'
Cruise is well-known for his obsession with performing dangerous stunts-particularly in the Mission: Impossible series, where skydiving, flying helicopters and scaling skyscrapers are par for the course.
For those who've forgotten, Pitt and Cruise shared the screen in 1994's Interview with the Vampire, a gothic cult classic. Their rivalry on set wasn't limited to bloodlust; it went straight to the tracks. 'We raced go-karts. He got me in the end. I gotta admit,' Pitt recalled.
Despite the playful competition, there's clearly admiration between the two megastars. At a Paramount event earlier this year, Cruise praised Pitt's driving chops, especially with the upcoming F1 film creating buzz in racing circles.
Pitt, now 61, also opened up about some of the oddly specific habits he developed while shooting F1, which is directed by Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski and backed by Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton.
'Before getting in the car, I always have to get in on the left side,' he told E! 'I have to put my left shoe on first, I'd have to put my left glove on first," Pitt added.
And the pit crew? They were well-trained in Pitt's peculiar pattern.
F1 is set to release in theatres on June 27. The cast includes Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, and more.

Not yet, but Pitt says he might, if Cruise agrees to keep it grounded.
Their last (and only) movie together was Interview with the Vampire (1994).
He's gearing up for the release of F1, an upcoming racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski.

Brad Pitt's latest obsession: Girlfriend Ines de Ramon, F1 fever, and why he's crediting her for it
Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon Brad Pitt may be the face of high-speed drama in the upcoming film F1, but it turns out his personal fascination with the motorsport didn't originate from the racetrack or the cameras. It was love that steered him into the fast lane. At the New York premiere of the film, the 61-year-old actor revealed that it was his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, 32, who first introduced him to the thrill of Formula One. In a chat with Entertainment Tonight, Pitt smiled and shared, 'Well, she's European, so she already had a taste, you know?' A simple line, but packed with admiration—subtly revealing how Ines influenced his newfound passion. It wasn't Brad showing her the ropes; it was the other way around. During the same conversation, Pitt reflected on a deeper side of his personal philosophy, discussing how he views happiness. When asked about his influence on co-star Damson Idris, the Fight Club actor said, 'Happy is relative, right? If it's fulfilling, if it's rewarding… I think stepping into uncomfortable situations, things that scare you, can bring a sense of achievement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like これまで配当・償還遅延なし。安心の実績 TECROWD（テクラウド） 登録 Undo I'd definitely add that to Damson's list.
