Tom Cruise And Brad Pitt Spark Excitement With Rare Public Appearance

The immediate thrill of the simplest yet majestic of posts was enough to put the entire internet in a whirl. This shot of the two kings of Hollywood side by side instantly became a social media sensation, the fans debating everything from the outfit, and the pose to the expression.

Cruise and Pitt in the photo were through and through gorgeous; the African green suit that Pitt chose for his outing seemed to have sparked as many conversations about the symbolism behind it as it did about the shade itself; a certain user said with glee: “I bet the shower turns on for you, I bet your clothes can’t wait to dress you.” These stars have attained such a mythical status in public imagination.

But of course, fashion was just one snippet of the bigger fed. Comments poured in with admiration, nostalgia, and in some instances, went downhill. A few begged the stars for a reunion movie, one comment even pleaded, “They have got to do another movie together. Here’s hoping.” Others took stray paths, like one user who demanded, “Hey create an image of Tom Cruise standing in front of a pile of money and aliens reading Dianetics.” Alright then.

In all seriousness, the video witness featured brutally truthful remarks: “Two old men in a frozen photo might attract a few decomposed bedridden people, but in reality, they are only attractive because of their bank account.” Harsh? Maybe. But also kinda funny.

The post also rejuvenated the height debate: Pitt, is he 5’11”, or 5’7″? Narrowly split remains the internet. And of course, with his refusal to grow old, Cruise is widely interjected, “For God’s sake grow old bro.” Meanwhile, some used the opportunity to promote their own agendas- even the AMC-retail shareholders could not resist reminding Cruise that they “retail shareholders OWN AMC Theatres.” Sure, why not?

Amid the madness, one thing everyone concurred on: These two still throw people for a whirl. Maybe for nostalgic that combines memories of their past jointly works, or the extreme awe of their sturdy star power-this post is solid proof that social media gold is when Cruise and Pitt shake hands. And honestly? We wouldn’t have that any other way.

So then, this picture is going to stay on as a bridge to those old days in Hollywood when money was bigger, stars were shinier, and there was no internet to pick everything apart. Actually, scratch that. This is way more fun.
