George Clooney is reportedly hurt after his longtime pal Brad Pitt snubbed the Broadway premiere.
According to a RadarOnline report, Clooney has been stuck on the sidelines as Pitt buddy up with A-listers like Tom Cruise and Channing Tatum.
Recently, Pitt and Cruise reunited at the European premiere of the F1 movie, with the Mission Impossible actor sharing a photo with his former Interview with a Vampire costar on Instagram.
Cruise wrote, “Great night at the movies with my friends!! You guys crushed it!!”
However, an insider told the outlet that Clooney, who has been friends with Pitt since the 1990s, is “super sad.”
“He was the former go-to person for Brad, but he seems shut up to standing quietly beside the red carpet,” the source said.
Adding, “They both just threw all their things, their dynamics, to everyone else's needs.”
“Brad didn't show up for George on Broadway. That's what everyone cared about, but it's no secret his feelings were hurt.”
“Here's the guy he supported through thick and thin, and he can't make the time to show up – it's very indicative of where Brad's loyalty lies,” the source added.
It is worth mentioning that Brad Pitt’s representative dismissed the rift speculations, stating that the actor was filming for another project overseas at the time of George Clooney’s Broadway debut of Good Night, and Good Luck.
Yet, the source suggested, “But he should have tried. He's always promoting himself nowadays, and he ducks, that's for something George would have come out for.”
“He's never once let Brad miss a party or sneak-listed Tom over too many times,” they added.
Additionally, besides Tom Cruise, insiders suggested that the actor is also talking to Bradley Cooper and Channing Tatum.
“A lot of people are watching how Pitt interacts and what seems like an aged-out manner and stress that ditched him, which has got to sting,” the source said.
