A Dynamic Duo with a Ground Rule

Brad Pitt might be ready for a blockbuster reunion with his friend and fellow superstar Tom Cruise, but there’s a catch! The 1994 duo from 'Interview with the Vampire' has shared more than just the silver screen; they’ve spent time racing go-karts together, leaving Pitt with fond memories of their friendship. However, he’s made it clear that any future collaboration requires one essential condition.

No More Crazy Stunts!

Pitt told E! News, "I’m not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and sh– like that," referencing Cruise's infamous penchant for edge-of-your-seat stunts. Known for his daredevil antics in films like 'Mission: Impossible,' Cruise has certainly set the bar high for action sequences, causing Pitt to seek movies that keep their feet on the ground.

The Stuntman Perspective

In a recent interview, Joseph Kosinski, director of the upcoming F1 film and Cruise’s collaborator on 'Top Gun: Maverick,' noted their contrasting styles. "Tom always pushes it to the limit but is super capable," he said. Meanwhile, stunt coordinator Graham Kelly expressed concern over Cruise's extreme approach, stating, "We would have had a crash. I mean, I’ve done loads of Mission: Impossibles with Tom, and it’s the most stressful experience for someone building vehicles for him. Brad, on the other hand, knows his limits and would be the first to back off."

Pitt’s F1 Film Excitement!

Set to hit theaters on June 27, the Apple Originals film features Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a washed-up race car driver looking for redemption. He’s up against his young, audacious teammate, Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris. With an impressive cast that includes Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and others, anticipation is building.

An Experience Like No Other

Describing the thrill of driving a Formula 1 car, Pitt shared, "I’ve tried to describe this feeling of downforce—it’s something otherworldly. I’ve never had this experience anywhere else, not even on a rollercoaster or in an aerobatic plane." He also teased fans about the film’s blend of high-octane action and heartfelt moments, declaring, "It’s big, it’s huge...really fun and kind of moving, I dare say."

Conclusion: A Reunion to Look Forward To!

So while Brad Pitt is open to reuniting with Tom Cruise, it seems he has no intention of risking life and limb in the process. Fans can look forward to seeing him back in action on the big screen this summer!
