Hollywood is full of hidden rivalries, but few last as long as the one between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Their relationship story resembles a never-ending movie where the two leading men can’t seem to settle who deserves the title of the most handsome and the biggest superstar of their generation.
The latest chapter of this ongoing race unfolded during the Super Bowl. While millions of viewers enjoyed the football game, Cruise and Pitt battled for public attention in their respective commercials. Brad appeared in a stylish video promoting unity, looking relaxed and confident. Meanwhile, Cruise’s ad had a different impact. Instead of raving about his youth and charisma, comments flooded in comparing his face to a “unnaturally stretched mask.” “Tom was furious. He knew their ads would air on the same day, and he had prepared for it. He spent hours working on his look, but in the end, his face was compared to a mask, while Pitt was called a style icon,” an insider revealed.
Cruise was particularly hurt by the fact that Pitt, despite his age, still appeared natural. “Tom has always thought of himself as having a chipmunk face, and now he’s being compared to a plastic doll. This really hit him hard,” the source shared.
Now, Cruise is obsessed with uncovering his rival’s secret to youth and is actively trying to outsmart him. “He’s already finding out what procedures Brad does, what skincare he uses, and what techniques he applies. Tom is not giving up and wants to prove he can look better.”
Their feud has lasted for over three decades, and reconciliation seems unlikely. The two haven’t worked together since Interview with the Vampire (1994), and it’s doubtful they’ll agree to share the screen again. During the making of the iconic film, they barely spoke, and after the project ended, Cruise avoided Pitt altogether.
Recently, Tom’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman shared the secret to her happy marriage with Keith Urban. Interestingly, the 62-year-old actor is currently not married, though he has been spotted on dates with beautiful women.
