F1's Brad Pitt Will Work With Tom Cruise Again on 1 Condition
Brad Pitt, the co-lead of the upcoming sports drama F1, has expressed interest in working with Tom Cruise again, though he has one condition. Notably, the Hollywood megastars have previously acted together on 1994's Interview with the Vampire, director Neil Jordan's cinematic adaptation of Anne Rice's 1976 novel of the same name. Pitt is open to collaborating with Cruise one more time after Interview with the Vampire, but has set one condition. When asked by E! News when they would appear on screen again, Pitt recently said, 'Well, I'm not gonna hang my a– off airplanes and s— like that, so when he does something again that's on the ground.' The actor also reflected on the positive things that Cruise had said about F1 and called him 'sweet.' He noted that he and Cruise had their 'go-kart days back in the early '90s.' Cruise has previously spoken about this. He revealed that he and Pitt used to drive go-karts right after they were finished filming for Interview with the Vampire, and said that Pitt was 'a very good driver.' (via Cinemablend) Pitt's above-mentioned reservations are not entirely unfounded, given the type of stunts that Cruise performs for his movies. Joseph Kosinski, the director of F1, has previously worked with Cruise on Top Gun: Maverick. During a May interview with GQ, Kosinski spoke about how the two actors dealt with stunt sequences. 'Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled,' he observed. 'They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more,' Kosinski added. In Interview with the Vampire, Cruise played Lestat de Lioncourt, whereas Pitt essayed the role of Louis de Pointe du Lac. Following its release, the movie became a critical and commercial success and received multiple Oscar nominations.

Sentimental Reason NASCAR Star Kyle Larson Races with a Ladybug on His Cars
NASCAR Hall of Fame member and 1992 NASCAR Cup champion Alan Kulwicki always raced with a Saint Christopher medallion (a symbol of protection and guidance) under his car's seat. Kyle Larson always has a ladybug somewhere on his race cars. It's not because he's superstitious, but it's something his parents want because a ladybug symbolizes good luck, prosperity and protection. '(Johnny) Rutherford won the (Indianapolis) 500, my dad read an article a long time ago, before I started racing, and he (Rutherford) said something like he was on the grid and a ladybug landed on him … and he went on to win. 'I think from the first race of my career, they've always stuck a ladybug sticker on my car.' Larson says his parents also place a ladybug sticker on his children's Go Karts. A ladybug is even hidden somewhere on his dirt shirts. For this year's Indianapolis 500, Larson has the ladybug on his car beside his name. 'I don't take it super serious, but my parents do,' Larson says. 'So, they make sure our interior people know to put the sticker on there.'
