The world of cinema is full of feuds and enmities. However some dislikes are stronger than others. One of the most famous concerns Brad Pitt And Tom Cruise who, as testified by various interviews given over the years, cannot stand each other. But let’s go in order.
It all started in 1994 when Brad Pitt landed a lead part in the movie Interview with the vampire along with megastar of the time Tom Cruise. But ever since their first interaction, the two have never tolerated each other.
It annoyed me – Brad Pitt complained in an interview, as reported by YourTango. There came a moment during the shooting when I started to resent him. He is the North Pole, I am the South. He always comes to you with a handshake, while I can introduce myself unexpectedly. There was this underlying competition that got in the way of any real conversation.
Even after filming wrapped, Pitt and Cruise never patched up their differences. In 2009, the actors were battling it out for top box office success with their respective World War II films. The first starred in Inglourious Basterds while Cruise in Operation Valkyrie. In the end it was the film of Quentin Tarantino to win. However, the actor was not gracious in his victory, calling his rival’s flop “a ridiculous movie.
The hostility between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise heated up further when Pitt’s ex-wife got involved, Angelina Jolie. In 2010, Cruise was ready for the lead role of a CIA agent turned spy in Saltwhen Jolie became a favorite for the role.
Well, Tom Cruise never signed on for the role, but he was really thinking about it,” Salt director Phillip Noyce clarified to E! News. We needed a start date, so we needed an actor. Amy Pascal, head of Sony Pictures, said: “Let’s ask Angelina.” It’s not clear if Pitt had anything to do with the matter (since he was married to Jolie at the time), but at least we imagine he enjoyed watching the drama unfolding.
After things soured between Pitt and Jolie following their divorce in 2017, Gossip Cop reported that she and Cruise were having “secret romantic encounters”. The pair reportedly hit it off after meeting to discuss a potential film project. Unsurprisingly, an anonymous source said Pitt wasn’t happy with the news and that Jolie liked the fact that her new romance was pissing off her ex.
