Cruise Control! Tom Cruise Gives Brad Pitt's F1 Film His Ultimate Stamp of Approval! Wed June 25th, 2025

The highly anticipated 'F1' movie, starring Brad Pitt, is already revving up excitement, and it just got the ultimate endorsement from an unexpected but highly influential source: action superstar Tom Cruise! Making a surprise appearance at the film's star-studded London premiere, Cruise not only reunited with his Interview with the Vampire co-star Brad Pitt after 24 years but also showered praise on the Joseph Kosinski-directed Formula One spectacle.

The red carpet at London's Leicester Square was abuzz as Tom Cruise stepped out to support Pitt and the F1 team. Fans and media alike were thrilled to witness the rare public reunion of two Hollywood titans, who shared a warm embrace and posed for photographs, sparking immediate nostalgia for their iconic 1994 vampire flick.

Tom Cruise's Rave Review: "You Guys Crushed It!"

Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) account shortly after the premiere, Tom Cruise shared a series of photos from the event, including a shot with Brad Pitt and a larger group photo featuring director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. His caption was short, sweet, and to the point: "Great night at the movies with my friends!! You guys crushed it!!"

This enthusiastic endorsement from Cruise, known for his dedication to the cinematic experience and his own history with high-octane blockbusters (including Top Gun: Maverick with Kosinski and Bruckheimer), speaks volumes about the quality and impact of F1. Cruise had previously expressed his excitement for the film during promotions for Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, even recalling friendly go-kart races with Pitt during their Interview with the Vampire days.

Behind the Scenes at the London Premiere

The London premiere itself was a spectacle, mirroring the high-octane energy of the film. Here are some of the behind-the-scenes moments that captured the essence of the event:

The Reunion of Legends: The biggest talking point was undoubtedly the affectionate reunion between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. Their genuine warmth and camaraderie were evident as they greeted each other, posing for photographers and delighting fans who have long awaited to see them together again.
Star-Studded Guest List: Beyond the lead stars, the premiere saw the attendance of other cast members, including Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem, alongside real F1 personalities and other notable celebrities, adding to the glitz and glamour.
The F1 Immersion: A real Formula One car was prominently displayed on the red carpet, allowing attendees to get up close to the machinery that fuels the film's intense action sequences. This visual element underscored the film's commitment to authenticity.
Director's Vision: Joseph Kosinski, who helmed Top Gun: Maverick (another visually stunning and high-flying film), was seen interacting with the cast and crew, clearly proud of the immersive experience F1 aims to deliver. Pitt himself has lauded the experience of shooting the film, which involved filming during actual Grand Prix weekends, as "one of the most extraordinary experiences" of his career.
Fan Frenzy: The presence of both Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, coupled with the anticipation for an F1 film that promises realistic racing action, created an electric atmosphere among the fans gathered in Leicester Square, eager for a glimpse of their favorite stars.

F1, which tells the story of an aging former racer (Brad Pitt) who returns to the sport to mentor a young rookie (Damson Idris) for a struggling team, has been garnering significant buzz for its ambitious production and commitment to showcasing the raw thrill of Formula One. With Tom Cruise's seal of approval, the film is set to accelerate into cinemas worldwide, starting June 25, 2025, promising an unforgettable cinematic ride for racing enthusiasts and moviegoers alike.
