A movie featuring Tom Cruise in a leading role
**Mexico City (dpa) - It seems Brad Pitt ain't keen on repeating Tom Cruise's daredevil antics anytime soon. Pitt, 61, told "E! News," "I ain't gonna strap myself to no plane or nonsense like that." Cruise, 62, is known for his death-defying stunts, like in "Mission: Impossible" and "Top Gun: Maverick."
Pitt and Cruise previously shared the screen in the '90s adaptation of "Interview with the Vampire." Pitt reminisced about their friendly competition, revealing Cruise beat him in a go-kart race.
The twice-Oscar-winning Pitt will grace the big screen in "F1" at the end of June. He shared his adrenaline rush while driving a racing car, stating, "It's something out of this world. I've never felt this - not on roller coasters, not in a sports plane."
According to sources, Pitt’s cautious approach to stunts is evident. The stunt coordinator and director for Pitt's new project describe him as a thoughtful performer who values expertise and respects his limits[1][3]. Pitt's preference for safer, more grounded projects suggests he'd steer clear of productions demanding risky stunts akin to Cruise's latest action flicks[1][2].
