Brad Pitt was seen promoting his upcoming F1 movie in Mexico City for the premiere night on Monday, June 16, 2025. The award-winning actor returned to his signature '90s buzzcut for the event and answered questions about future projects. In an interview with E! News, Pitt was asked if he would work with Tom Cruise, who was his co-star in the adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire.
Brad Pitt said that he could work with Tom Cruise on another project, but he has conditions. The actor gave a conditional yes when asked if he would ever share the big screen with Cruise again, adding:
"Well, I'm not gonna hang my a** off airplanes and sh*t like that, so... when he does something again that's on the ground."

He said the same when asked by Extra on June 16. He said that he would consider working with Tom Cruise again in another movie if he didn't have to hang from biplanes or swim through submarines.
Tom Cruise's eighth Mission: Impossible movie just came out in theaters in May 2025. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt's F1 will launch internationally on June 25 and in the US on June 27.
While Pitt is opposed to those stunts, he doesn't mind doing dangerous stunts when it comes to his racing movie. While filming F1, Pitt does drive a real car, but not a Formula 1 car.
Instead, he's driving a modified F2 car that has been equipped with the side pods, nose, and rear wings to make it look like an F1 car.
Brad Pitt says he's "still bitter" about decades-old racing competition with Tom Cruise
Besides his F1 racing movie coming to cinemas later in June, Brad Pitt had another racing competition he wanted to talk about.
During his exclusive interview with Extra, published on Monday, June 16, 2025, the Hollywood actor answered a question about his go-karting days with Tom Cruise during their time filming Interview with the Vampire in 1994.
When asked how such a competition would go now that Pitt has some Formula 1 training, he said that he and Cruise should get back on track, adding that he was still bitter about their race some decades ago. He said:
"Tom and I gotta get back out there. The last time we went there, he pit me. He took me on the last corner and I'm still bitter about it 30 years later. Nah, he had my number."
While Pitt might not be amenable to doing most of Cruise's stunts, like hanging in a helicopter in The Final Reckoning, a racing movie project could unite them. It fits Brad Pitt's terms of staying on the ground, and the two have raced each other before.
As the F1 movie star said during his Mexico City premiere, he drove go-karts in the '90s. Cruise said the same at CinemaCon 2025 in April, adding that he and Pitt would "drive go-karts all night" after finishing filming Interview with the Vampire.
Brad Pitt's F1 movie arrives in cinemas on June 27 in the US. Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, and Damson Idris also star in it alongside real, current F1 drivers and legends like Sir Lewis Hamilton.
