Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise‘s recent reunion after over two decades made for a viral moment among their fans. The two former co-stars walked the red carpet at the “F1” premiere in London earlier this week, marking their first public reunion since a benefit concert in 2001. Although the duo appeared to put their friendship on full display, their meetup was reportedly nothing more than a power play. A source exclusively told Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop that their reunion was “choreographed” and had nothing to do with “nostalgia.”
Brad Pitt was nervous while Tom Cruise needed a win, and so they were there, claims ‘source’
On Monday, June 23, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt broke the internet with their reunion at the “F1” premiere in London after 24 years. The actor duo, who starred together in 1994’s “Interview With the Vampire,” appeared to be in good spirits. They posed for the cameras together, shared hugs, and seemed to engage in fun conversations.
However, the interaction was allegedly just surface-level. According to Rob Shuter’s exclusive report, their reunion was “choreographed” for a purpose. A source told the outlet that their actions had more to do with the “optics” than reviving old times. Their joint appearance comes at a time when the duo has many professional dynamics in common.
According to the report, Pitt is anxious about the reception of his upcoming movie, “F1.” Meanwhile, Cruise recently signed a deal with Warner Bros, a company that is co-distributing “F1” with Apple. Moreover, the two A-listers are also connected to the film’s producers, Jerry Bruckheimer and Joseph Kosinski.
Speaking about the metrics behind the reunion, a studio executive told #ShuterScoop, “Brad’s nervous. Tom needs a win. This was corporate synergy in action.”
Pitt and Cruise previously ran into each other at the “America: A Tribute To Heroes” benefit concert in 2001. Although allegedly strategic, their reunion still made headlines. When asked what their next project would be together, Pitt quipped that he wouldn’t hang himself off airplanes, referencing Cruise’s preference for doing his own stunts. The “F1” star was open to taking on a project that had them stay on the ground.
