LOS ANGLES: Hollywood star Tom Cruise is reportedly obsessed with not only his own looks as he ages but also desperate to outsmart rival Brad Pitt.
The rivalry between the two actors started when they co-starred in ‘Interview With the Vampire’ in 1994.
According to a tipster, the Top Gun star is upset over the ridicule he received from fans about his “stretched face” in the Super Bowl commercial. Meanwhile, Pitt received praise for his youthful and suave appearance in the same ad.
“Tom hated how Brad got all this fan praise for his youthful appearance in the Super Bowl ads while all he got was taunted for looking too plastic,” an insider told Radar Online.
“It touched a real nerve, as Tom prepped like crazy for the big day and knew they’d be going head to head, so to speak. He generally ignores rivals, but Pitt has always stuck in his craw as this self-appointed Hollywood golden boy,” he claimed.
Sources also revealed that Cruise is on a mission, which includes digging into every detail of Pitt’s beauty routine, and is fully determined to crack the code.
They said, “It irks him that Brad somehow managed to age better. Tom is now doing a ton of research into Brad’s beauty secrets. He’s desperate to outsmart him and turn this around.”
