Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, two of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, are reportedly still harboring grudges from their past. The tension between the two A-listers is said to have originated while filming the 1994 movie Interview With The Vampire.
Brad Pitt described his dynamic with Tom Cruise, stating, “Tom was ‘North Pole,’ and I was ‘South Pole.'” This comment seemingly underscored the vast differences between the two stars, fueling speculation about their off-screen relationship.
A source recently revealed to In Touch Weekly, “That’s the reason they haven’t worked together in 30 years.” The insider added, “They play it down publicly, but it’s no secret they can’t stand each other.”
The animosity appears to be mutual, with Tom Cruise reportedly still holding onto Brad’s remarks. The source elaborated, saying, “Now that Brad’s filming in the U.K., Tom is taking every opportunity to take shots at him.”
Brad Pitt’s upcoming Formula 1 movie has only intensified the rivalry. The source mentioned, “There’s been all sorts of buzz about how Brad’s going to follow Tom’s success and bring in a billion dollars when this movie finally hits theaters next summer, and that has not gone over well with Tom.”
The insider continued, “Tom’s convinced Oscar winner Brad’s purposely stepping on his toes and trying to show him up. He’s been getting personal and saying petty things about Brad’s new movie.”
Despite their attempts to downplay the feud publicly, it seems the tension is far from over. The source concluded by noting, “Knowing Brad, he’ll have plenty to say back.”
The ongoing discord between these two Hollywood heavyweights highlights how old grudges can linger, even among the most successful and high-profile celebrities. As Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise continue their illustrious careers, it remains to be seen if they will ever reconcile or if the icy tension will persist.
