AceShowbiz - Hot on heels of her Oscar win, "Anora" star Mikey Madison has become the industry's most sought-after talent. Rumor has it, two Hollywood A-listers Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are eager to work with her.
A source revealed to In Touch, "Mikey is the It Girl right now. There's a full-on bidding war brewing over who will sign her for her next movie and Tom and Brad are leading the charge."
Madison's remarkable work ethic and dedication have not gone unnoticed. "I certainly put quite a bit of pressure on myself to really buckle down and do the work. I dedicated all my time to it," she told WWD. It's this commitment that has Hollywood heavyweights like Cruise and Pitt set their eye on her.
Tom Cruise, 62, is especially keen. With his expansive "Mission: Impossible" franchise, he is always on the lookout for top-tier talent. "He thinks Mikey's the whole package," says an insider.
On the other hand, Brad Pitt, 61, appears to be in a stronger position due to his production company, Plan B. With a slew of critically acclaimed and Oscar-winning films under his belt, including "12 Years a Slave" and "Moonlight," Pitt has the advantage of offering Madison a variety of prestigious projects.
"She's going to have a lot on the table to choose from if she goes that direction," the source explains.
The two actors' paths have crossed before, both professionally and personally. They shared the screen in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," where their characters had a violent, but memorable interaction.
However, their real-life rivalry dates back to their contentious collaboration on "Interview with the Vampire" in the early 1990s. "There came a point during filming when I started really resenting him. He's North Pole, I'm South," Pitt once said of Cruise.
Now, history seems to be repeating itself as the two A-listers once again find themselves at odds. "Brad and Tom are still very competitive with each other so it's no surprise they're butting heads over Mikey," the insider confirms. "She is the hottest talent in town right now and they both see her as the prize."
As Hollywood watches closely, Madison finds herself at the center of a high-stakes bidding war. The outcome remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Mikey Madison is the star everyone wants to work with, and she's just getting started.
