Pitt was at the premiere for F1 when E! News asked him about Cruise. First, they talked about how Cruise loved the film and praised it. While on stage at CinemaCon, Cruise said that he couldn’t wait to see F1 this summer. And Kosinski has, in the press, joked about how Cruise couldn’t play Pitt’s role in F1 because it’d be a lot more dangerous for them all. This is part of the reason why Pitt will not be working with Cruise anytime soon. In his own words, he’ll work with Cruise when he ends up back on the ground.
“It’s so sweet,” Pitt said when E! brought up Cruise’s praise of the film. “He’s sweet. We did have our Go-Kart days back in the 90s, early 90s.” E! was shocked to learn about their Go-Kart days. But when asked if he’d star in a movie with Cruise again, Pitt was blunt about the situation. “Well, I’m not going to hang my a** off airplanes and s*** like that, so when he does something again, that’s on the ground.” When asked who won their Go-Kart adventures? Pitt said “He got me in the end. I gotta tell you. I gotta admit.”

Tom Cruise Says He and ‘Very Good Driver’ Brad Pitt Would Race Go-Karts
The actor, who starred as wickedly charismatic blood-sucker Lestat opposite Brad Pitt’s brooding Louis in the moody film based on Anne Rice’s 1979 novel, shared a fond memory of his former costar during Paramount Pictures’ Thursday, April 3, presentation at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas.
“Brad’s got a new movie, [F1], with Jerry Bruckheimer, Joe Kosinski,” Cruise, 62, said. “I can’t wait to see that this summer. It’ll be awesome.”
“It’s great to see Brad driving,” Cruise added. “He’s very good. He’s a very good driver. Believe me, I’ve raced against him. When we were doing Interview with the Vampire we’d go and race go-karts. We’d literally finish and go drive go-karts all night.”
Clooney Sent a Letter to Tom Cruise Posing as Brad Pitt Asking for Interview with the Vampire 2 as a Prank
During Clooney’s Tuesday, Sept. 17th appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actor, 63, said that he is fond of sending people letters that appear to be written by other people, including former president Bill Clinton and as his Wolfs costar Brad Pitt.
“Every actor I know I’ve sent a letter from Bill Clinton,” Clooney explained, noting that host Jimmy Kimmel once gifted him fake stationary from Clinton, 78, and from Pitt, 60. “I try to find their worst film and I tell them, ‘So I was on the plane and [watching your movie].’ ”
“The Brad Pitt one was brutal. I sent it to Don Cheadle,” he added. “I sent it to Tom Cruise, saying they want to do [Interview with the Vampire 2], but this time Brad wants to play Lestat. And I sent it to Meryl Streep with a box of CDs for dialect and I said, ‘This guy helped me with my accent in Troy and I think it could really help you.’ ”
“Brad this afternoon said that Tom called him and said ‘Yeah, it’s cool, you can play Lestat, that’s fine, I’m okay with that,’ and he was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ ” Kimmel, 56, responded.
