It is revealed what the real status of actors George Clooney and Brad Pitt's friendship is

George Clooney and Brad Pitt have become the center of attention after it was revealed where their friendship currently stands. This breaking news has left more than a few people speechless.

Their first meeting on a film set dates back decades, although both were already major film figures before working together. Even in previous interviews, George Clooney and Brad Pitt publicly praised each other. Once their professional relationship began, their personal closeness quickly became solid.

Since then, their friendship has been extremely strong. So much so that there have been several occasions when they've been seen together at premieres, award ceremonies, and in private moments with their respective partners.

However, in recent times, the connection between George Clooney and Brad Pitt seems to have weakened. Rumors of distance have started to circulate strongly on social media and in entertainment media. Now, a recent gesture has reignited those speculations.

George Clooney and Brad Pitt's friendship doesn't seem to be at its best

A few months ago, George Clooney made his Broadway debut with a play inspired by a movie he himself directed 20 years ago. That day, numerous entertainment personalities traveled to New York to see him perform live.

Among the attendees were such well-known faces as Julia Roberts, Uma Thurman, Cindy Crawford, Jennifer López, and even Pierce Brosnan. However, there was a major absence: Brad Pitt.

At that time, the actor explained that he was immersed in filming in New Zealand, which prevented him from being present at his great friend's premiere. However, a close source revealed to Page Six that "George Clooney's feelings were hurt," since he expected to have his support.

Now, the situation is repeating itself, but from the other side. Brad Pitt stars in the desired movie F1 and its premiere was a major event in the industry. This time, the one who excelled on the red carpet wasn't George Clooney, but Tom Cruise.

Moreover, as if that weren't enough, Cruise posted a picture with Pitt along with a caption that many interpreted as a veiled message: "Great night at the movies with my friends!"

An apparently innocent phrase that some have seen as a possible provocation toward George Clooney. A message that has raised more questions about the current state of the friendship between the two well-known actors.
