Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt come together at the London premiere of F1marking a nostalgic reunion since their 1994 gothic cult classic Interview With The Vampire

The event was a glittering affair as Tom stepped out to support director Joseph Kosinski, best known for Top Gun: Maverickand lead actor Brad Pitt, who takes on the role of retired Formula One driver Sonny Hayes in the high-octane sports drama. Joseph, who helmed both F1 and Maverickposed alongside his two leading men in a series of photos that quickly went viral after being shared on the film’s official Instagram page.

The caption read: “Sonny Hayes. Maverick. The stars of Top Gun: Maverick and #F1TheMovie, both directed by Joseph Kosinski, meet at the European Premiere! #F1 #Formula1.” For fans, this reunion brought back a wave of nostalgia. Tom and Brad last appeared together in 1994’s Interview with the Vampiredirected by Neil Jordan. The gothic horror film, also starring a young Kirsten Dunst, became a cult classic. In the film, Brad played the melancholic Louis, turned into a vampire by Tom’s charismatic and chaotic Lestat. Despite the film’s success, the actors never worked together again—until now, at least in spirit.

In a recent interview, Brad was asked about a potential future collaboration with Tom. “I’m open to it,” he said, before cheekily adding that he’d only sign on if the stunts were grounded. “So when he does something again that’s on the ground,” he joked, referencing Tom’s legendary stunt work that often involves dangling from planes or scaling skyscrapers. Brad’s F1 is scheduled to hit theatres on June 27 and is already generating buzz among motorsport and movie fans alike. Meanwhile, Tom’s latest outing, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoningthe eighth instalment in the franchise, was released in May and continues to showcase his flair for adrenaline-fuelled action.
