According to The News, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, two of Hollywood’s most famous actors, debuted on the big screen around the same time and have since experienced similar career trajectories. Despite co-starring in the 1994 film Interview with a Vampire, which was a massive success, earning close to $224 million on a $60 million budget, the two actors were reportedly at odds with each other during filming. Pitt even went on to say that they were like the North and South Poles and that he resented Cruise by the end of filming. The two actors’ rivalry has become one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets, as they have often had to compete for roles throughout their careers, causing them to steer clear of each other.

Despite their past differences, recent events have reignited their rivalry. Brad Pitt has been cast as the lead in a forthcoming sports movie backed by Lewis Hamilton, in which he plays an F1 driver who comes out of retirement to mentor an up-and-coming driver. The film requires Pitt to undergo extensive training to play an F1 driver, something that Tom Cruise, who is known for doing his own stunts, may see as encroaching on his turf. According to insiders, Cruise’s nose may be a bit out of joint over Pitt’s casting, and this may have ruffled a few feathers for Cruise.

It is clear that the bad blood between the two actors has not been resolved and is still present in recent times. Pitt’s friends are reportedly aware of the feud and go out of their way to avoid Cruise at social events. Despite their shared success and status as Hollywood A-listers, it appears that the rivalry between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt will continue to be one of the industry’s best-kept secrets. Simon Pegg was also humiliated drunk in front of Tom Cruise.
