Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise opted out of starring in Ford v Ferrari after the Mission: Impossible star realised he wouldn't be "driving much".
The 61-year-old actor has been on the track for his role as Sonny Hayes in F1 but explained that he was due to collaborate with Cruise on the 2019 sports film about the battle between the two car manufacturers at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race before his fellow star went cold on the project after discovering that his character - car designer Carroll Shelby - wouldn't be getting behind the wheel.
