According to
CinemaBlend
, Tom Cruise’s latest comment about his former colleague was surprising because the two have long been suspected of “not getting along”. Up to now, the two actors have only starred in one film together,
Interview With the Vampire
(1994) – adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Anne Rice. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt played two charming vampires, Lestat and Louis respectively. At that time, some sources said that they had different personalities and secretly opposed each other, causing tension on set.
In an interview with
Entertainment Weekly
in 2011, Brad Pitt recalled his experience filming with Tom Cruise. According to the actor, playing Lestat on screen was more fun than Louis because the producers worked the character’s interesting aspects into the plot. “I don’t mean to put Tom down. He was under pressure in the movie. The novel has a lot of fanboys, so he had to try to make the movie a success and he did. That’s great,” Brad added. After its release, the film earned more than $200 million in global revenue and received two Oscar nominations.
