Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise May NEVER Work Together Again, Here's WHY We Say So
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have been two of the biggest stars of the industry, who have shared the screen space only once in their careers. The actors starred together in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. Now, Pitt has voiced his interest in working with the Mission Impossible star, but on one condition.
The actor, who is set to star in the upcoming racing movie, F1, revealed to E! News that he would only work with Cruise when he is doing the stunts on the ground.
Tom Cruise is known to pull off some of the death-defying stunts in his movies, especially in the Mission Impossible franchise and the Top Gun films. The 63-year-old was also honored with the Guinness World Record title for carrying out 16 burning parachute jumps in M:I 8.
Brad Pitt would not want to hang from airplanes with Tom Cruise
While sitting down for an interview with the media portal, the Wolfs star hilariously claimed that he would not want to hang out of an airplane mid-air. The actor stated, 'Well, I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and shit like that,' when asked about his future collaboration with Cruise.
Pitt went on to add, 'So when he does something again that's on the ground, [then yes].'
As for the father of six's upcoming film, F1 is hailed by director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who have also worked with Cruise on Top Gun: Maverick.
Joseph Kosinski's thoughts on reuniting Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise
According to the reports, F1 was being developed when Top Gun: Maverick was in post-production. The director of the films also revealed at the time that he wished to reunite Pitt and Cruise in Ford vs. Ferrari. However, the studios never approved of the budget, and the roles went to Christian Bale and Matt Damon.
Previously, in an interview with GQ Magazine, Kosinski opened up about the scenario had he cast Cruise instead of Pitt in F1. The filmmaker said, 'Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled.'
He added, 'They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more.'

How Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck kept close relationship after divorce
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck looked so cosy that there were reconciliation rumours. Unfounded, but her sweet Father's Day tribute did show they're in their best post-split era as coparents, reported E! News. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck looked so cosy that there were reconciliation rumours. But her sweet Father's Day tribute did show they're in their best post-split era as coparents, reported E! News. "Happy Father's Day to 3 people's favourite landing spot," Garner wrote in tribute to her ex-husband, posting a throwback photo of Affleck holding one of their three kids as a baby to her Instagram Stories. After 10 years of marriage, Garner and Affleck parted ways in 2015 and finalised their divorce three years later. Despite their divorce, the two have remained good friends. The actors, who were married for almost 10 years before announcing in June 2015 that they were separated and planning to divorce, have looked so at ease in recent months that reconciliation rumours soon followed after Affleck's divorce from Jennifer Lopez , reported E! News. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finalised their divorce on January 6, 2025. Affleck and Garner--who share Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13--remain exes, albeit very supportive and close exes who went through a lot to get to this place in their relationship. Earlier this year, Affleck, 52, called himself (not for the first time) "really lucky" to have a "really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner," saying in January that she's "wonderful and great and we work together well," reported E! News. Garner hasn't had much to say on the topic in recent years. But the 53-year-old has acknowledged how her perspective shifted regarding what she still has with Affleck, versus what she lost in the divorce. "When our kids get married, we'll dance, I know that now," she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021, referring to how she told Vanity Fair in 2016 that her dream of dancing with the love of her life at her daughter's wedding had been dashed. "We'll boogaloo and have a great time. I don't worry about that anymore," reported E! News. Affleck, meanwhile, has been singing Garner's praises in the parenting arena from the beginning. "Jen is a superhero mom," said the Oscar winner in 2016, adding, "She is an amazing mother." And when it came to the kids, "We try our best, we put them first, and that's what we do," reported E! News. On Mother's Day in 2019, he paid tribute to Garner and his own mom, Chris Anne Boldt, calling them "two incredible mothers who have shown me the meaning of love." And in 2020, Affleck said, "When you have children with somebody, you're connected to them marriage didn't work, and that's difficult. Both of us believe that it's important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they're together or not," reported E! News.

Glen Powell takes a page out of Hannah Montana's book in new teaser for football-comedy Chad Powers; take a look
Glen Powell is back — and he's leaning all the way into being Glen Powell. The Top Gun: Maverick star has a new role that feels tailor-made for his charming-jock energy. In the just-dropped teaser for Chad Powers, Powell transforms into a fictional football player with a mullet, swagger, and secret identity. If you thought Powell had already hit peak Powell, think again. But who exactly is Chad Powers, and why are football fans and internet users buzzing? The upcoming Hulu comedy follows Russ Holliday, a disgraced college quarterback who still dreams of making it big. In a last-ditch effort to revive his football career, he goes undercover as 'Chad Powers' and joins a struggling southern football team. Think Ted Lasso, but swap the moustache for a wig and some good old-fashioned southern grit. Here's the fun twist: Chad Powers is not just fiction. He first appeared in 2022, when NFL legend Eli Manning wanted to experience walk-on tryouts at Penn State. As part of his ESPN+ docuseries Eli's Places, he slapped on a wig and prosthetics to go undercover as — you guessed it — Chad Powers. The clip quickly went viral. Manning's goal? To explore the history of college football through the eyes of real players and coaches. But what stuck with fans most was Chad's hilarious blend of clueless charm and gridiron ambition.'The love for Chad Powers has surprised me in spectacular ways,' Manning said. 'I played 16 years in the NFL, but now when I'm in a restaurant or walking through an airport, it's not uncommon for fans to scream, 'Hey Chad!'' He added, 'I'm so excited to team up with my friends Glen Powell, Michael Waldron and Omaha Productions to continue to tell the Chad Powers story and see what he does next.' Once the original video exploded online, Omaha Productions, Peyton Manning's company, was flooded with fan requests for more Chad content. And so, the Ted Lasso-style comedy was born. Hulu has now greenlit a half-hour scripted series starring Powell, with Manning cheering from the sidelines. As expected, social media had a field day reacting to the teaser. One user wrote, 'I'm definitely excited for this, but am I the only one who kinda wishes Eli still played the character?' Another chimed in: 'So basically… Hannah Montana but with football and facial hair.' One X comment perfectly summed up the vibe: 'This sounds like a hilarious twist on sports comedies. Can't wait to see Glen Powell's performance!' Another added, 'Late 30s Glen Powell? That's a choice…' while a fan gushed, 'GP is pure charisma. Will 100% watch.' And honestly? Same. With Glen Powell bringing his all-American charm and Eli Manning's viral alter ego at the heart of it, Chad Powers might just become the next big thing in feel-good football comedy. The show is expected to release on September 20.
