Jennifer Aniston is a beloved and accomplished actress who has captivated audiences with her talent and charm. With her iconic role as Rachel Green in the hit TV show Friends, Aniston became a household name and a pop culture phenomenon. It looks like the Friends star finds it quite difficult to be friends with the blockbuster superstar Tom Cruise. The Cake star reportedly couldn’t be friends with the Mission Impossible star because of her ex-husband, Brad Pitt’s subtle competition with Cruise.
Brad Pitt Snatched The Role From His Decades-Old Competition, Tom Cruise
The Babylon star and the Top Gun: Maverick star finally came together on the big screen with their 1994 movie, Interview with the Vampire. But it looks like Pitt didn’t enjoy Cruise’s company as much. In an interview, Pitt revealed that he always felt a subliminal competition with the Mission Impossible star on the sets. The Bullet Train star emphasized the fact that he and Cruise are two opposite personalities who are not compatible with each other.
“You gotta understand, Tom and I are… we walk in different directions. He’s North Pole. I’m South. He’s coming at you with a handshake. where I may bump into you, I may not, you know. I always thought there was this underlying competition that got in the way of any real conversation. It wasn’t nasty by any means, not at all. But it was just there and it bugged me a bit. But I’ll tell you, he catches a lot of shit because he’s on top, but he’s a good actor and he advances in the film. He did it. I mean, you have to respect that.”
One may assume that things might have cooled down after that one film and Pitt’s honest public confession. But, as per recent reports, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have clashed for several roles in the past and in this recent clash, the Troy star has surely won. Pitt bagged a role in Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming film where Pitt will play the role of F1 driver. This loss must have pinched Cruise as the film is directed by Kosinski who worked alongside Cruise to deliver the blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick. An insider has brought some shocking revelations about the unheard competition between Pitt and Cruise.
“Over the years, they have steered clear of each other. A lot of people don’t realize this, but Brad and Tom competed for so many roles; it was actually ridiculous. Their rivalry is one of the industry’s best-kept secrets. I can imagine Tom’s nose might be a bit out of joint over this. Brad is kind of stepping on his turf a little. No doubt that has ruffled a few feathers too. Brad confides a lot in Flea, and most of his friends are only too aware of Brad’s feelings about Tom. That’s why you’ll find his closest people, including Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ellen DeGeneres giving Tom a wide berth.”
Jennifer Aniston’s Sour Relationship With Tom Cruise
Jennifer Aniston and Tom Cruise establish themselves as versatile actors, earning critical acclaim and widespread recognition. But the paths of two stars have never intertwined professionally. The duo has surely not been spotted together much. Now going as per the above revelation, it looks like Jennifer Aniston only maintained her distance from Top Gun: Maverick star because of her ex-husband’s rivalry with him.
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were married for 5 years from 2000 to 2005. But the celeb couple decided to separate their paths going on. It looks like even after their divorce Aniston is still hesitant to be friends with Tom Cruise.
