Brad Pitt reveals the one condition he has to work on a film with Tom Cruise

Brad Pitt reveals the one condition he has to work on a film with Tom Cruise

The two legendary actors have rarely worked together

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt share a lot of similarities, in that they're both Hollywood stars, eternally handsome, and the crush of nearly everyone's mum in the UK.

Although the two celebrities have both got a huge CV of films under their belt, it's somewhat surprising that they've rarely ever been seen in the same film, perhaps because there's only room for one dashing older star. Ocean's Eleven would suggest that this is both possible and very enjoyable for anyone with a crush on Pitt, George Clooney, or even Matt Damon.

Funnily enough, given their vampiric quality of looking far younger than their age, one of the only times they have shared the screen was the 1994 horror fantasy Interview with a Vampire, which is perhaps more famously known for Pitt having to kiss a young Kirsten Dunst, when she was 11 and he was 30.

Pitt, who recently broke his silence about his high-profile divorce with Angelina Jolie, has now revealed his one condition for ever working with Cruise, and it might prove difficult given his fondness for falling out of planes and performing his own dangerous stunts.

Speaking to E News, he said: “He’s sweet. “Yeah, we did have our go-kart days back in the ’90s", referencing the fact that they used to race against each other while filming Interview with a Vampire.

But if he were ever to partner with the Top Gun star in a movie again, he has one stipulation.

“Well, I’m not gonna hang my a** off airplane s**t like that,” he said. “When he does something again, that’s on the ground.”

Brad is set to set to star in the new F1 film which will be released next month, but given Cruise's reputation for high-speed chases, it's perhaps no surprise to hear that he was also in line for the role.

F1 director Joseph Kosinski confirmed: “Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled. They both have the natural talent for driving. But, yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more."

So, if you've been dying to see Cruise and Pitt in a film together, you might have to wait until they're filming something a little less action-filled, although considering Tom is reportedly already planning to film a third Top Gun instalment, you might be waiting a while.

For now, the two will simply have to bond over go-karting, having luxurious locks, and being forever good-looking.
