Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise’s long-time feud has reportedly been reignited as they both make waves in the U.K., according to exclusive insights shared with In Touch.
Brad is currently in England working on his eagerly awaited film, F1, while Tom has called London home in recent years.
Tom Is Reportedly Upset Brad Is In London
Sources reveal that the animosity between the two actors dates back to their contentious experience filming the 1994 movie Interview with the Vampire.
“Their issues from that film have lingered for decades,” an insider disclosed. “Though they downplay it publicly, it’s well-known that they dislike each other. With Brad shooting in the U.K., Tom is seizing every chance to take jabs at him.”
They claim that Tom has become particularly protective of his adopted home and resents Brad for drawing attention with a major production in the same area. Additionally, Tom is reportedly frustrated that Brad is collaborating with the same team—producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Joseph Kosinski—that worked on Top Gun: Maverick.
“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,” the source went on. “Tom believes Brad is deliberately trying to overshadow him.”
Moreover, Tom is reportedly seizing every opportunity to criticize F1, which has faced numerous delays and revisions over its two-year development. “Tom has been making disparaging remarks about Brad’s film,” the insider added. “Given Brad’s temperament, he’s likely to respond in kind.”
Tom And Brad’s Alleged Feud Goes Back Years
Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, two of Hollywood’s biggest stars, have had a complex and often contentious relationship over the years, marked by their parallel but competitive careers.
Tom emerged as a major Hollywood star first, gaining prominence in the early 1980s with breakout roles in films like Risky Business (1983) and Top Gun (1986). His success quickly solidified him as one of the industry’s leading men.
Brad, on the other hand, saw a significant career boost coming from his role in Thelma & Louise (1991) and then A River Runs Through It (1992). Although Pitt’s rise was somewhat later, his star power quickly grew, positioning him as a major competitor to Cruise.
The actors’ careers intersected notably in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), where they played co-leads. Despite their collaboration, the production was reportedly fraught with tension. Sources suggest that their mutual dislike from the film persisted, with Cruise and Pitt seldom working together since.
The rumored feud between the two has been fueled by various reports of professional and personal discord, though neither actor has publicly confirmed the depth or specifics of their rivalry, nor have they commented on the recent reports about their supposed conflict.
