The simmering feud between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt is apparently hitting the gas. Per exclusive insights shared with In Touch, tensions are skyrocketing as both A-listers make headlines in the UK. While Pitt films his hotly anticipated Formula One racing flick, Cruise considers London his home turf.
Insiders dish that the animosity between these two Hollywood heavyweights stretches back to their 1994 film, Interview with a Vampire. A source revealed (via In Touch):
That’s the reason they haven’t worked together in 30 years. They play it down publicly, but it’s no secret they can’t stand each other. And now that Brad’s filming in the U.K., Tom’s taking every opportunity to take shots at him.
Apparently, Tom Cruise feels Brad Pitt’s movie is revving its engine a little too close for comfort. Not only is Pitt filming in Cruise’s adopted stomping ground, but he’s also working with Tom’s Top Gun: Maverick team, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Joseph Kosinski. Ouch.
Things get even more dramatic when you consider rumors that F1 could potentially join the billion-dollar club upon release. The source further stated,
There’s been talk that Brad’s upcoming film could rival Tom’s success and potentially earn a billion dollars when it releases next summer. Tom believes Brad is deliberately trying to overshadow him.
To add fuel to the fire, Cruise’s reportedly been throwing some serious shade at F1, which has faced setbacks during its development. With Pitt filming in Cruise’s ‘adopted’ homeland with his team of directors, the Top Gun actor’s been reportedly acting all petty.
Plus, the chatter that Pitt’s upcoming F1 film could rival Cruise’s success, bringing in a billion dollars, only cranks up the tension. Knowing Pitt, this might just be the start of a high-octane Hollywood showdown.

Cruise dominated the 80s with Risky Business and Top Gun, becoming a household name. Pitt, although a little late to the party, stole hearts in Thelma & Louise and A River Runs Through It, putting him head-to-head with Cruise. While both the actors have had successful careers thus far, their age-old feud only dials up the drama to eleven.
Brad Pitt’s F1 will hit theaters on June 27, 2025.
