Brad Pitt would make another movie with Tom Cruise but is ‘not gonna hang my ass off airplanes’

Don’t count out seeing Louis and Lestat back together again. They just might not have long hair and puffy shirts.

Brad Pitt is open to making another movie with Tom Cruise, his costar in 1994’s Interview with the Vampire, although there’s a stipulation.

“I’m not gonna hang my ass off airplanes or s— like that,” Pitt told E! News at the recent F1 premiere in Mexico City, “so when he does something again that’s on the ground.”

Fair enough. Pitt is now 61 and, like Cruise, 62, is successful enough that he has his choice of projects.

When asked if he would reteam with Cruise, the Fight Club star told Extra something similar in a video published Monday: “Well, if I don’t have to hang from biplanes and swim through submarines, then I’ll consider.”

Pitt seems pretty set on his answer; however, the actor explained in the same interview that he and Cruise had, at one point, been set to do 2019 race car film Ford v Ferrari. In their version of the real-life sports drama that would have been directed by F1‘s Joseph Kosinski, Pitt would have played Ken Miles, a part that was ultimately played by Christian Bale, while Cruise would have played retired driver and coach Carroll Shelby, who was portrayed by Matt Damon. The team was replaced, Kosinski told GQ, because the studio wouldn’t provide the budget.

Pitt called the flick that was released, directed by James Mangold, a “great movie.”

As adverse as Pitt seems to doing his own stunts, he would have been driving in Ford v Ferrari, and he’s behind the wheel in his latest project. He has experience — sort of — after riding dirt bikes during childhood and, per the magazine, “racing bikes on tracks for fun.”

Pitt apparently also raced Cruise in go-karts in the ʼ90s, around the time of Vampire, and seems up to settle a score if he gets the chance.

“Tom and I got to get back out there, because he did, the last time we were there, he pit me,’ Pitt told Extra. “He took me on the last corner, and I’m still bitter about it, 30 years later.”

F1, which costars Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, and Kerry Condon, arrives in theaters June 27.
