After starring in the Tony Award-winning smash The Book of Mormon, Gad and Rannells were on a 12-year mission to work together again, finally finding the right vehicle in Gutenberg! The Musical! which

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise's friendship is immortal.

Case in point: The former Interview With the Vampire costars had a fangtastic reunion at the London premiere of Pitt's F1 movie June 23.

Clad in a forest green suit and sage-colored scarf, Pitt let out a warm laugh as he spotted the Top Gun star—rocking a slate blazer and pants with a light blue shirt—down the red carpet. After exchanging a friendly hug, the two posed for photos, with Cruise happily wrapping his arms around his friend.

This was the first time Pitt, 61, and Cruise, 62, were photographed on the red carpet together since 2001, when they crossed paths at the America: A Tribute to Heroes benefit concert.

And a lot has happened in their careers since then. Pitt nabbed two Oscars, while Cruise starred in six more installments in the hugely popular Mission: Impossible film franchise.

But will they ever team up onscreen again?

“I’m not gonna hang my ass off airplanes," Pitt recently joked to E! News, quipping that he'll only star in a movie with Cruise, who's known for performing his own stunts, "when he does something again that’s on the ground."

Still, the Fight Club alum said at the time that it's "sweet" to see Cruise be so supportive of his career after 1994's Interview With the Vampire.

"We did have our go-kart back in the '90s," Pitt reminisced, referencing how he and Cruise would go racing while filming the Anne Rice adaptation. "He got me in the end, I gotta admit."

Likewise, Cruise only has only praise for Pitt's skills behind the wheels. As he shared in April at CinemaCon 2025, per CinemaBlend, "It’s great to see Brad driving."

"He’s very good," the Jack Reacher actor added. "Believe me, I’ve raced against him."

"The friendship started just because we’re very similar where we want to win," Mahomes said on TODAY of his longtime Kansas City Chiefs teammate, with whom he's won two Super Bowls. "But we like to enjoy life, too. We’ve kind of built this friendship of we’re gonna go out there and compete and we’re gonna enjoy it while we do."

Added Kelce, "You could tell the first day that Pat came into the building it was gonna be fun playing with him."

In addition to fierce rounds of ping-pong at Mahomes' house ("Travis has never beaten me"), the pals have gone on vacation and attended concerts together, and many of Kelce's childhood friends are now in Mahomes' regular circle.

And it has not gone unnoticed that the quarterback's wife, Brittany Mahomes, has been welcomed with open arms into Taylor Swift's squad, the ladies drawing eyes up to the visitors' suite with their own elaborate post-touchdown celebration.

"I need to talk to Travis because me and Travis don't even have a handshake yet," Mahomes quipped in an interview with sports radio station KCSP. "So I mean, they're ahead of the game on us."
