Riding high on the success of his breakthrough role in 1991's Thelma and Louise, Brad Pitt scored a lead part in the 1994 horror flick Interview with the Vampire alongside megastar Tom Cruise. But from their first interaction, the two did not see eye-to-eye. Though he played a brooding vampire in the film, Pitt took the maudlin mood of the movie to a whole new level, admitting to being "miserable" on-set (per Entertainment Weekly). And working with Cruise certainly did not help things!
"He bugged me," Pitt complained in an interview, via YourTango. "There came a point during filming when I started really resenting him. He's North Pole, I'm South," Pitt continued, illustrating the differences between the two men. "He's always coming at you with a handshake, whereas I may bump into you. There was this underlying competition that got in the way of any real conversation."
Even after filming wrapped, Pitt and Cruise never patched up their differences. In 2009, the actors were duking it out for best box office hit with their respective World War II dramas — Pitt starred in Inglourious Basterds and Cruise in Valkyrie — and Pitt's ended up the winner. He was not gracious in his victory, however, calling his rival's flop "a ridiculous movie," although his agent later went on record to debunk the quote as "inaccurate."
