People were waiting for this day to come, and finally, the wait is over. Yes, their friendship is one of the most cherished relationships in the entire Hollywood industry. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have maintained their friendship for almost 25 to 30 years. Their first movie, “Interview with the Vampire”, which was released in 1994, garnered huge appreciation for the star cast’s performances, visual effects, writing, and direction. These two stars bonded well during the shoot, and since then, they have been friends.
Till today, even in their busy schedules—interviews, photoshoot, press meet, any events—they wish each other good luck and hint at a possible collaboration ahead to viewers. Recently, in an interview with Brad Pitt, he was asked whether he would be working with Tom. Brad jovially replied, I would definitely work with Tom, but if he asks me to perform stunts and hang off the plane, like him, I won’t. Brad has always admired Tom’s dangerous stunts and high-octane action sequences, and even Tom has appreciated Brad for his mindful performances in the past movies.
Bromance
This pair has built and taken the bromance to the next level. In 1999, “Eyes Wide Shut” was released, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in the lead roles. Brad made a gracious entrance at the event to support Tom and his movie with his then-girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston.
Long Time No See
It was only at industry events or shows that Tom and Brad exchanged a few words—they never crossed paths beyond that. However, Tom and Brad finally reunited after many years, for the occasion of Brad’s upcoming movie, F1.

The Director Bond

Joseph’s past movies like Oblivion and Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom, had broken box-office records in terms of visually stunning scenes and narration. And now, the same director is ready to roar for the success of this upcoming movie, F1, starring Brad Pitt in the lead role.
