Tom Cruise has made rare comments about Brad Pitt after the two Hollywood icons were praised as among the “last movie stars” of their generation.
During an interview with GQ, Cruise discussed his decades-long career following a striking photoshoot for the magazine.
Interviewer Zach Baron described Cruise as the “last movie star” during the extensive interview. Cruise, however, was quick to praise other actors, including Pitt.
“There’s really talented actors. Do you know what I’m saying? Like, Brad Pitt is a great actor, great star, great charisma, and there’s many, many, many,” Cruise said.
He added: “I’m on the set with great craftsmen as a young kid, and it’s not just 1981 where they’re there… It’s generational. So, as you’re making movies, you’re learning from other people, and then you’re making it your own. But you’re learning—it is a skill making films.”
Cruise and Pitt previously starred together in the 1994 gothic horror film Interview with the Vampire. Cruise portrayed Lestat de Lioncourt, a charismatic vampire who turns Pitt’s character, Louis de Pointe du Lac, into a vampire.
Despite their status as Hollywood contemporaries, the pair have maintained a friendly relationship over the years. Cruise showed his support for Pitt when he joined him on the red carpet at the London premiere of F1 in June 2025.
The two actors also share another connection through their children, who have made decisions concerning their famous family names.
Cruise’s daughter, Suri, was registered to vote in Pennsylvania in October 2024 under the name Suri Noelle, according to voter records obtained by The Daily Mail. She is currently studying at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Cruise has been estranged from his daughter for years following his 2012 divorce from actress Katie Holmes and her departure from Scientology.
Meanwhile, Pitt’s son Maddox has also reportedly dropped his father’s surname.
Pitt’s daughters Zahara, 21, and Vivienne, 18, have likewise used versions of their names without “Pitt” socially. Vivienne and Knox, who are twins, are 18, while Zahara is 21.
