According to sources, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have a love-hate relationship.
Two of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, are often compared to each other. Fans have often wondered about their relationship. According to the few times the two men have talked about each other, they seem to have a complicated relationship.
The reason behind that is mostly the competition. Both are the biggest stars of their generation, and everyone compared them so much that it became difficult for them to have a friendship. The A-listers worked together for the first time in 1994, which was also the last time they ever worked together.
Have Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise ever worked together?
Yes, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise worked together on the 1994 film adaptation of Anne Rice’s famous novel, Interview with the Vampire. They haven’t worked together since then. While the opportunity did arise again for them to work together in Ford v Ferrari, it couldn’t happen due to budget constraints. Joseph Kosinski has revealed that at one point, the two stars sat at a table and read the script for the 2019 film. However, the roles ultimately went to Matt Damon and Christian Bale.
Brad Pitt has talked about his experience working with Tom Cruise on the sets of Interview with the Vampire. He stated that they had opposite approaches, “You gotta understand, Tom and I are... we walk in different directions. He's North Pole. I'm South. He's coming at you with a handshake [Pitt mimicked Cruise's hyper-aggressive hello] where I may bump into you, I may not, you know?”
Pitt came to resent Cruise on the movie set and it may have had to do with how Cruise was treated. Cruise was a bigger star, and even though the novel’s protagonist was Louis (played by Brad Pitt in the film), the movie put a greater emphasis on Lestat’s role (played by Tom Cruise), so much so that the poster only had Tom Cruise’s face. Cruise was paid $10 million, while Pitt was paid $3 million for their respective roles.
