What movies have Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise starred in together?
Their only starring roles together was in the 1994 flick “Interview with the Vampire” based on Anne Rice’s 1976 vampire novel. While the male costars were snubbed for any major award nominations that year for the film, actress Kirsten Dunst scored a Golden Globe best supporting actress nod for her portrayal in the film.

Inside Brad Pitt’s Alcoholics Anonymous experience
The reunion comes as Pitt looked back on his “incredible” experience in Alcoholics Anonymous while speaking to Dax Shepard on the “Armchair Expert” podcast in an episode released Monday, June 23.
“I was pretty much on my back, on my knees,” Pitt said. “I was trying anything anyone threw at me. It was a particular difficult time. I needed rebooting. I needed to wake the (expletive) up, in some areas.”
Pitt, who previously told The New York Times he spent a year and a half in Alcoholics Anonymous after ex-wife Angelina Jolie filed for divorce, described attending AA as a “really special” experience. He said it was “incredible” to see “men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches,” and doing so with “a lot of humor.”
The “F1” movie marks Pitt’s first major role since the dust from Pitt’s dramatic divorce saga from Jolie settled in December.
