Brad Pitt Says He’d Work with Tom Cruise Again—Just No Hanging Off Airplanes

A Grounded Reunion Proposal

June 19, 2025: At the Mexico City premiere for F1 on June 9, Brad Pitt was asked if he’d ever co-star with Tom Cruise again. His answer? A cheerful yes— but with a clear clause: no death-defying stunts like hanging off airplanes. “I’m not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and s— like that,” Pitt joked.

Fond Memories from Their ‘Interview with the Vampire’ Days

The pair last shared the screen in 1994, and they often reminisce about their early camaraderie—Pitt recalled late-night go-kart races with Cruise. Despite their different stunt styles, Pitt reflected warmly, “He’s so sweet,” praising Cruise’s driving and sharing that Cruise once overtook him on the final corner—an episode Pitt admits still stings.

A Tale of Two Stunt Philosophies

While Pitt embraces character-driven roles with measured action, Cruise built his reputation on high-octane, self-performed stunts. Pitt humorously compared their bravery levels: Cruise plummeting from planes, Pitt letting a pit bull lick applesauce off his neck in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.

Would They Reunite on Screen?

Pitt could envision teaming up with Cruise—but only in a “grounded” project. “When he does something again that’s on the ground,” he said, suggesting a future film could reunite their talents without the high-risk spectacle.

What Could It Look Like?

Director Joseph Kosinski hinted the two were once considered for Ford v Ferrari—a pairing that didn’t materialize. Now, with F1 hitting theaters June 27 and Cruise publicly praising Pitt’s driving prowess, fans are wondering if a new collaboration could be in the works—sans the aerial drama.
