Brad Pitt is ready for a rematch with Tom Cruise on the go-kart track. In a recent interview, the 61-year-old actor shared that he and Cruise used to race against each other in the ’90s while working together on the film “Interview with the Vampire.”
“Tom and I gotta get back out there,” Pitt said. “The last time we went there, he pit me.
He took me on the last corner, and I’m still bitter about it 30 years later. Nah, he had my number.”
When asked if he has plans to work with Cruise again, Pitt jokingly said he’d “consider it” if he doesn’t “have to hang from biplanes and, like, swim through submarines.” Cruise is known for doing his own stunts in his films. Pitt did drive at dangerously fast speeds when filming his upcoming movie, “F1: The Movie.” In the film, he portrays an up-and-coming Formula 1 race car driver in the 1990s whose career comes to a halt after an accident on the track.
Thirty years later, he is brought back to the racing world with a chance at redemption. “It was such a pleasure to get in those cars.

It was such a high. It was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I’ve gotta figure out a way to do it again,” Pitt explained.
“So the lines are secondary. You’re worried about your braking points, the lines, not so much.”
Pitt also reflected on his life in the public eye, telling GQ in May that “some version of my personal life” has been in the news for 30 years. “It’s been an annoyance I’ve had to always deal with in different degrees.
Mostly I feel my life is fairly contained. It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am,” he said. He later elaborated on his comments in June, saying the older he gets, the more he realizes the importance of surrounding “yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back.”
“F1: The Movie” is set to premiere on June 27.
