Brad Pitt says interested in working with Tom Cruise again only on this condition
Washington DC [US], June 16 (ANI): Actor Brad Pitt expressed interest in acting opposite fellow actor Tom Cruise as long as the role doesn't require death-defying aerial stunts, reported E! News.
The two A-listers famously starred together in the 1994 horror drama "Interview With the Vampire." and have never reunited on screen afterwards.
In an interview with E! News at the Mexican premiere of his upcoming film 'F1', Pitt referred to the popular aeroplane stunt of Cruise and said he is willing to do a movie with the latter only if the stunts are performed on the ground.
"Well, I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and shit like that," Pitt said with a laugh when asked about working with Cruise again. "So when he does something again that's on the ground, [then yes]," Pitt told E! News.
Meanwhile, Pitt's 'F1' movie is directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the duo behind Cruise's record-breaking 'Top: Gun Maverick.'
Pitt's movie was being developed while Cruise's movie was in post-production. "Top Gun: Maverick" earned 1.4 billion USD at the worldwide box office in summer 2022.
Kosinski recently told GQ magazine, as quoted by Variety, 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, as quoted by Variety.
"They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more," added Kosinski
"We'd have had a crash," the film's action vehicle supervisor Graham Kelly quipped to GQ as quoted by Variety.
"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,'" added Graham Kelly.
Pitt's 'F1' is set to open in theatres on June 27. (ANI)

Keerthy Suresh's Telugu film 'Uppu Kappurambu' to be out this July
ANI 16 Jun 2025, 18:51 GMT+10 New Delhi [India], June 16 (ANI): Get ready to see actor Keerthy Suresh in an interesting role in the Telugu film titled 'Uppu Kappurambu'. Directed by Ani. I.V. Sasi and written by Vasanth Maringanti, the film is set in the 1990s. It follows the residents of Chitti Jayapuram, a fictional village in South India's hinterland grappling with an escalating pressure on its burial infrastructure. Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari are also a part of 'Uppu Kappurambu'. Sharing his experience directing the film, Ani I.V. Sasi in a press note said, ' 'Uppu Kappurambu' draws from a world I've long wanted to bring to screen. Set against the quirky and chaotic backdrop of rural life in the '90s, it uses satire and humour to explore how ordinary people navigate extraordinary situations with limited means but an unbreakable spirit. We wanted it to be something that deals with very serious issues in society but in a very silly and cartoonish way. This film is a sincere attempt to blend comedy with meaningful commentary, brought to life by an incredible cast and crew.' The film will be out on Prime Video on July 4. (ANI)
