Tom Cruise is often dismissed as merely a handsome kook, when in fact he's a cinematic savant. So many of his turns on film make them favorites. Vanilla Sky, The Last Samurai, Collateral, Minority Report, Eyes Wide Shut, Rain Man... even Risky Business. Hollywood wouldn't be the same without him.
Nicholson predicted as much, shortky after A Few Good Men. He's one of the greats in my book... even the kooky Scientology crap, as long as he isn't out doing illegal crap, then whatever: most religions are insane twaddle anyway.
@@nekitamol1k242 Massively underrated perfomance. But Magnolia is his best for me. Such a different kind of role. The first time he ever did anything that was slightlu villainous, which obviously paved the way for Collateral.
Glad you mentioned Vanilla Sky - that film is achingly beautiful and melancholy - if you let the rooftop dilemma at the end of the film play over in your mind for a bit you end up questioning your whole existence.
It's true. He's really good at selling a character, no matter how daft. He has 100% conviction and it's infectious. You can't help but like him. Unfortunately he's also 100% committed to his whacky religion so...

Tom Cruise who has been interviewed over 1 million times still has this incredible enthusiasm for his body of work. You would expect him at this point in his successful career to be bored by these question. The man is a true superstar.
@@23shipoopi23 I think he was referring to the interviewer this guy has interviewed alot of very great film people and many have said they loved interviewing with him. Spike Lee said its always refreshing talking to someone who knows cinema about his interview with him which says alot.
I love this man's interviews, they flow, and I have yet to see a poorly formulated one from him. I appreciate that he does not constantly interrupt the interviewee's train of thought, that he is reflective and considerate and that he has a lovely sense of humor. Regarding his being given a show: he is not a comedian/S.N.L. Alumnus. This style of interview doesn't really demonstrate a need to pander to an audience. It seems like he really enjoys this type of interaction with a famous person. I hope he keeps doing his thing, it's pleasant to watch ❤.
Tropic Thunder gets funnier as time goes on. I just realised that most of the characters are out there shooting a war film, and Tom Cruise, the dude who you would normally expect to be doing all the action, is relegated to the role of a movie producer in an office the entire time. That is such a fucking fantastic joke, I can't believe it took me this long to get it.
@@nhanhunhanhu Really?? Oh my God Tom Cruise playing Simple Jack after co starring with Dustin Hoffman in Rainman would have been weird and insane haha.
That is how an interview should be, where you get to fanboy out and ask questions that your viewers wish they could ask and talk about your favorite parts of the interviewees career. Most importantly, he respectfully listened instead of just rapid firing questions. That was so fun to watch.
Yeah very very professional interview, you can be a fanboy if you re still doing you job very well, it doesnt hurt AT ALL. I agree this interview is very good, this is the first interview that ive seen where they actually discuss some real staff and not just superficial issues promoting the movie or paying tribute to the actor and Tom Cruise had fun talking about the staff he cares about. I learned something and I gonna check more of that
I feel like In real life...he’s a bat shit ego maniac. But when it comes to movies, he just transcends. Can’t knock the guy at all. He knows his skill set and doesn’t go for roles that don’t particularly suit him but he’s great at what he does...which just happens to be dancing around in a fat suit
What a great interview! Someone who really knows what he is talking about and loves movies equally as Tom Cruise. You can see that both are enjoying it.
This popped up today, and I had always heard that TC was a little arrogant. That never bothered me because to achieve in his industry I think actors need to have some arrogance. But this felt like Tom really enjoyed this interview and was truly genuine. Love the interviewer too. Absolutely loved Matthew McConnaugheys face when Less Grossman dances in front of him. Can that be any more expressive ?? 🤣
@@sandraa3550 oh how naive... Tom is overly enthusiastic in every interview that doesn't ask about his personal life. Tom is fake, he has a narcissism about himself that is pretty intimidating to other actors. He's the "hey buddy", vigorous handshake, "I love your work" guy to everyone.

Gosh! This single interview sums up my entire childhood. This man has made incredible movies and has never, NEVER disappointed ever. Even when he speaks about other movies, he still kills it. TC is forever. :) Thanks for the video.
Also really good interviewer i hate when an interviewer is fake and asks the same questions as the last guy. Or they have fake ads forced laughs. This guy though! Keep it up your killing it
These are always absolutely the best interviews of all time. I’m embarrassed to say I can’t recall the name of the interviewer, but I have watched all his Marvel content and I’m so impressed by his in-depth level of knowledge. He truly interviews in a way that no other interviewer has mastered. He makes it fun. Give him a massive raise!
I don't think there is any other actor that genuinely loves movies as Tom Cruise does. Brilliant actor, polite, courteous and for me he really defines the modern day 'movie star'.
7:25 the guy starts to mention from the top of his head some of the classics from old cinema, he is an excellent committed actor, he knows what he is doing, he has a good background on the topic, he uses no stuntmen, Tom Cruise when making a film is the translation of the word PROFESSIONAL!
Tom Cruise. An absolute legend. He is friendly, inspiring and always trying to make movies better than they were originally written, I bet he can be a pain to directors sometimes but in the end it is worth it. I enjoy his movies no matter what role he plays.
Great comments. Though I’ve read and seen interviews where every director he’s ever worked with is in love with him because he’s so committed to seeing the movie succeed.
I agree. I think of the 'superstars' of yesteryears, he is the only one the term still applies to today. Movie after movie, people are walking in to the MI franchise just coz of him. In this day and age, I can't think of any other star that gets people into theatres just on his name alone.
I love it when Tom said he loves the movies. He's a master of his craft and even loves old gens movies. Most people today, don't give a fick about old movies.
The editing on this video is top-notch. Every film mentioned is shown, just the perfect amount to give context to what they're talking about. Major kudos for that!
Legend This guy flew a helicopter in a dangerous sequence, while acting and controlling the cameras and all alone in the helicopter. Nobody has ever even attempted that. He's the man
I’m a big Tom Cruse fan. I watched tropical thunder and I didn’t know he was in it until the last scene when he’s watching the oscars with that tom cruse relaxed posture and his signature smile on his face. Awesome acting. Worthy of an Oscar
Excellent interview. Got so much of Cruise's psyche and passion in Cruise's words. Too many interviews are the interviewer being cute making it all about him. This delved into how Cruise practices his craft.
Biggest movie legend in the world, period! The fact that the Academy hasn't given him an Oscar yet, is simply a tragedy. Whether you like the guy or not, Tom Cruise has the most impressive track record in Hollywood, and he should've won more than one Oscar by now. Mostly, I think he got robbed when he was nominated for "Born on the 4th of July" where he delivered a breathtaking performance :/
Michael Holmgaard Plus he was not even nominated for some of his greatest roles-- Collateral, Interview With the Vampire, Tropic Thunder, Last Samurai etc. He is really really really underrated.
I think he's beyond those awards. He never expressed any real interest on those anyway(i think he actually not a fan of the idea of a paid award). Acting, stunts and learning new tricks is where his passion lie.
@@ashash1927 Cruise does a great villain/unlikeable character, shame he's been choosing mostly Mission Impossible type movies. My favourite part of his career is probably 90s to Tropic Thunder, he really did have a large variety of roles while still churning the occasional quality action film. If you like Cruise in Collateral as the villain, he's also villainous/not the traditional protagonist in Interview with the Vampire, Magnolia and to a lesser extend Vanilla Sky. Magnolia is a top 5, maybe even all time best Cruise performance for me.
Tom cruise is a pioneer of his craft! This interviewer excels in the task of the interview! They both seem like good people with good manners and respect. Which is probably the best formula for their success.
Does 500+ jumps from an aircraft, and also sings Rock You Like A Hurricane as good as the original. We are pretty close to running outta words to describe this guy. Holy frigging flying fish.
Tom Cruise the Legend... Interviewed by a great person makes Tom Cruise so much more at ease within the interview and then Both men are literally talking to each other with us just watching and taking it all in..Thanks for posting
Patriot Jefferson I mean to say that any other Industry he would not have got even an entry job it is the entertainment industry which is open for all.
He dropped out of high school? So. He's obviously bright. College graduates don't necessarily mean you are smart or educated. Half the time it means you were born upper middle class or higher. Dad had money to send you to four years of fraternity or sorority school, while majoring in business or something. Universities need money too. Jay Leno did a Jay walking bit on tonight show. Asking questions to random people. True story, he asked a girl with a college degree who the president was. She didn't know. She said I don't follow politics.
It never occurred to me that the reason Cruise understands action films so well is based on his understanding of slapstick and dance. Fascinating interview, really.
Same he might have some out there ideas but he has conviction and I agree with him on psychiatry for the most time. He also seems to be a humble pretty cool guy
The chemistry between Tom and Ali is sensational and the mutual respect is wonderful. It's hard not to have a smile on your face while watching them and you can see how this legendary actor loves being interviewed by this virtuoso interviewer. Regardless of what various philistines complain about Tom Cruise, he is undeniably a living legend and Ali Plumb puts to shame the saying "There are no statues for critics".
This interviewer is incredible. When he asks Tom's favorite movie, he says it's impossible question. Depends on the mood and the interviewer immediately sets the right context for his question to get a clear answer.
the dude broke his ankle jumping from one building to another in MI: Fallout and still completed filming the scene I have a minor pulled muscle in my back and fell like laying on the couch all day
I met Tom cruise at leavesden studios when he was doing a recce for one of the MI films. I was on Tarzan and he wanted to see what type of extras a certain company used or what food a certain catering company provided etc. He queued with us "Belgium soldiers" to get food from the hot plate and literally sat in the dust eating and talking to us about how we were looked after etc. Although he was doing it because he wanted his film to go well he seemed genuinely caring and kind. I liked him. I've heard he is tough during "work" though. Firm but fair I think.
Everyone has flaw. This guy is pure perfection. Like. He is handsome, charming, a FANTASTIC actor, he does action and also does his own stunts. Like. He is a bonafide ACTOR..
Everyone says Tom is crazy, I say crazy like a fox, this man is a brilliant actor and despite his religious beliefs, you can't deny his talent as one of the best actors of this generation. Love you, Tom! 💜
My two sons sat me down to watch Tropic Thunder, to see how quickly I realized Les Grossman was Tom Cruise, it took me a few seconds of stammering “is is that Tom, Tom Cruise”, I was gobsmacked at his performance. Just brilliant. ❤
It's incredible to see an actor so passionate about his craft so long after he began it. It feels so rare when there's someone who's still so connected with their work and still genuinely loves what they do. Regardless of Tom's past and controversies, he really, really does love what he's doing and I hope he spreads that love and drive for movies and acting throughout the industry so there can be more actors genuinely into what they're doing.
One of the signs that Tom acts because he loves it is that he still remembers lines from the movies he’s acted in. So many actors just do it for the money and just forget what they’ve done and move on to the next piece. But *definitely* not Tom. He’s absolutely one of the best actors in Hollywood, past present and future ❤️
Tom Cruise has always been a fascinating character. Even more so these last few years. Weird personal life to say the least, but at the same time so dedicated to his art. His filmography isn’t flawless, but as a whole, wow. And with the recent MI movies, he’s just in a league of his own now.
I know, I watch it. He's not the leader but he is treated like a pope or saint or some shit. I use to think maybe they keep him in the dark about all the sinister shit that goes on but ex members say he does know what really goes on. It's fucked up.
who's to say that's true tho. could just be saying that cause it makes headlines. That going clear documentary pretty much said he's sheilded from it, yet still critisises him for it.
Finally, an interviewer who is interesting, engaging for not only the viewer but the person being interviewed. Tom Cruise looked like he was legitimately having a good time and that helped me have a good time.
And that’s what makes him the most excellent actor that he is. He really is the most under appreciated actor in hollywood. I’m definitely not a celebrity crusher at all but I do appreciate a great movie and I really appreciate a actor who perfects their craft and stays out of my political business.
Les Grossman is one of the greatest things that has ever happened in cinema.
Take a step back, and literally fuck your own face.
Dont underestimate Sgt Lincoln Osiris

This Interviewer is so seriously good, it's like he becomes bestfriends with every actor in 5 minutes
They share the passion for cinema, and that's what builds instant connection.
Interviewer doesn't ask questions which makes artists uneasy or uncomfortable and sticks to movies that's why
that s an interviewer that does his research and he is passionate about what he does

He has a genuine love and passion for his work, he does his homework, and more importantly never crosses the line with the people he’s interviewing, the man is a consummate professional.

Tom Cruise is a prime example, he is pretty much always charming in his interviews, but his mannerisms are practiced and not quite natural, with repetition between different interviewers, it’s Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise, with Ali there is no facade, Tom trusts the man opposite him, and enjoys their interactions.

It's rare to see an interview where Tom Cruise is relaxed and personable. This is probably the best I've seen so far.
Tom Cruise. An absolute legend. He is friendly, inspiring and always trying to make movies better than they were originally written, I bet he can be a pain to directors sometimes but in the end it is worth it. I enjoy his movies no matter what role he plays.
Great comments. Though I’ve read and seen interviews where every director he’s ever worked with is in love with him because he’s so committed to seeing the movie succeed.
The mummy disagrees
He's actually easy to deal with on set supposedly
Can you imagine quoting jerry Maguire with tom cruise.
seriously - if that ever happened to me I would have died
I would faint.
The fact Tom Cruise still knew that line word for word is pretty impressive.
People focus on his religion and bad media but anyone that denies his impact on the film industry is crazier than they say he is
R K gotta agree.
Word!!!
I agree. I think of the 'superstars' of yesteryears, he is the only one the term still applies to today. Movie after movie, people are walking in to the MI franchise just coz of him. In this day and age, I can't think of any other star that gets people into theatres just on his name alone.
@@binaldoshi495 There are sure some others lile Christoph Waltz, Bryan Cranston, Keanu Reeves, Dwayne Johnson, Danzel Washington etc.
What religion is Tom Cruise? Scandinavian?
I love it when Tom said he loves the movies. He's a master of his craft and even loves old gens movies. Most people today, don't give a fick about old movies.
The editing on this video is top-notch. Every film mentioned is shown, just the perfect amount to give context to what they're talking about. Major kudos for that!
Legend
This guy flew a helicopter in a dangerous sequence, while acting and controlling the cameras and all alone in the helicopter. Nobody has ever even attempted that.
He's the man
This is my fav Tom Cruise interview. You did a great job.
Tropical Thunder is the last real comedy ever made. All characters are flawless
Les Grossman is one of his best characters.
He's savagely Ripping on Hollywood producers/ Elite's.
Les is pure malevolent narcissistic greed.
" Get yourself a G-5, son!"
One of the best Tom Cruise interviews. You can see how he actually enjoys this interview.
I’m a big Tom Cruse fan. I watched tropical thunder and I didn’t know he was in it until the last scene when he’s watching the oscars with that tom cruse relaxed posture and his signature smile on his face.
Awesome acting. Worthy of an Oscar
Tropic thunder
Excellent interview. Got so much of Cruise's psyche and passion in Cruise's words. Too many interviews are the interviewer being cute making it all about him. This delved into how Cruise practices his craft.
The way Tom plays Les is just out of this world, I was literally crying with laughter watching him but he was quite a scary dude at the same time 🤣👌
Biggest movie legend in the world, period! The fact that the Academy hasn't given him an Oscar yet, is simply a tragedy. Whether you like the guy or not, Tom Cruise has the most impressive track record in Hollywood, and he should've won more than one Oscar by now. Mostly, I think he got robbed when he was nominated for "Born on the 4th of July" where he delivered a breathtaking performance :/
Michael Holmgaard
Plus he was not even nominated for some of his greatest roles-- Collateral, Interview With the Vampire, Tropic Thunder, Last Samurai etc.
He is really really really underrated.
I think he's beyond those awards. He never expressed any real interest on those anyway(i think he actually not a fan of the idea of a paid award). Acting, stunts and learning new tricks is where his passion lie.
Agree, politics involved is never a good thing
How he didn’t win an Oscar for Rainman will always confound me.
Davesky19 agree, his performance in that movie is definitely one of the all time greats
Tom Cruise’s point about movement and meaning in fight sequences was really great, I think a lot more directors should follow his lead.
This is why Tom Cruise is one of the fucking Legend. We need Tom and Keanu together in a movie. I don’t care if both of them are villains.
That'll be nuts.
And with bothof them as bad guys the good guys won't even stand a chance 😌
That's just make it even better.
@@abdulrahman6343 Remember how awesome Tom was in Collateral when he was the villian.
@@ashash1927 Cruise does a great villain/unlikeable character, shame he's been choosing mostly Mission Impossible type movies. My favourite part of his career is probably 90s to Tropic Thunder, he really did have a large variety of roles while still churning the occasional quality action film.
If you like Cruise in Collateral as the villain, he's also villainous/not the traditional protagonist in Interview with the Vampire, Magnolia and to a lesser extend Vanilla Sky. Magnolia is a top 5, maybe even all time best Cruise performance for me.
Les Grossmen was the best character in the whole movie.
Alpa Chino too..
Kirk lazarus
Naaah the dude RDJ was playing hands down
Being played by Tom, in disguise. Didn't know it was him until the closeup. Saw the eyes and realised it was Tom.
He was great, but limited. RDJ carried that film on his back minus the Cruise scenes.
The last 2 minutes talk about his favorite movies proves this guy is a god damn genius when it comes to acting.
Tom cruise is a pioneer of his craft! This interviewer excels in the task of the interview!
They both seem like good people with good manners and respect. Which is probably the best formula for their success.
Does 500+ jumps from an aircraft, and also sings Rock You Like A Hurricane as good as the original. We are pretty close to running outta words to describe this guy. Holy frigging flying fish.
If you haven't seen Collateral, go and see it. Tom Cruise is excellent as a bad guy.
^THIS^

Andy Searle ....That is a fantastic film.....plus he is sporting grey hair which suits him.....
Andy Searle indeed 😌😌😌
"Yo homie, is that my briefcase?"
An extremely memorable line before executing one of the most insane weapon drills ever.
That jazz club scene was crazy
He's really good shape for his age, literally looks 20 years younger than he is
@GazB more like healthy
@Matthew DaviesYou're delusional.
@Matthew Davies 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. That's a lot of wrinkles... to put it mildly.
@Matthew Davies its called make up lol
Tom Cruise the Legend... Interviewed by a great person makes Tom Cruise so much more at ease within the interview and then Both men are literally talking to each other with us just watching and taking it all in..Thanks for posting
Cruise is above and beyond pretty much any other actor out there..he is just a dedicated genius in my opinion..
Patriot Jefferson I mean to say that any other Industry he would not have got even an entry job it is the entertainment industry which is open for all.
He dropped out of high school?
So. He's obviously bright. College graduates don't necessarily mean you are smart or educated. Half the time it means you were born upper middle class or higher. Dad had money to send you to four years of fraternity or sorority school, while majoring in business or something. Universities need money too.
Jay Leno did a Jay walking bit on tonight show. Asking questions to random people. True story, he asked a girl with a college degree who the president was. She didn't know. She said I don't follow politics.
@@joecook5689 he fell for scientology
It never occurred to me that the reason Cruise understands action films so well is based on his understanding of slapstick and dance. Fascinating interview, really.
Always liked Tom Cruise. I think he's a guy who is just too intense for Hollywood-types. I get him, and he is dope.
Same he might have some out there ideas but he has conviction and I agree with him on psychiatry for the most time. He also seems to be a humble pretty cool guy
The chemistry between Tom and Ali is sensational and the mutual respect is wonderful. It's hard not to have a smile on your face while watching them and you can see how this legendary actor loves being interviewed by this virtuoso interviewer. Regardless of what various philistines complain about Tom Cruise, he is undeniably a living legend and Ali Plumb puts to shame the saying "There are no statues for critics".
This interviewer is incredible. When he asks Tom's favorite movie, he says it's impossible question. Depends on the mood and the interviewer immediately sets the right context for his question to get a clear answer.
the dude broke his ankle jumping from one building to another in MI: Fallout and still completed filming the scene
I have a minor pulled muscle in my back and fell like laying on the couch all day
This is an incredible interview. Thank you BBC.
This video ends at 2:56
I didnt know he was in tropic thunder!
Dude... les Grossman is in my opinion my favorite Tom cruise roll.
@@justadude420 roll? like cinnamon?
@@askingwhyisfree7436 fat
@@justadude420 ROLL... like a dinner roll ?
@@justadude420 u meant role right?
Tom “I want fat hands and I want to dance” Cruise
I met Tom cruise at leavesden studios when he was doing a recce for one of the MI films. I was on Tarzan and he wanted to see what type of extras a certain company used or what food a certain catering company provided etc.
He queued with us "Belgium soldiers" to get food from the hot plate and literally sat in the dust eating and talking to us about how we were looked after etc. Although he was doing it because he wanted his film to go well he seemed genuinely caring and kind. I liked him.
I've heard he is tough during "work" though. Firm but fair I think.
Everyone has flaw. This guy is pure perfection. Like. He is handsome, charming, a FANTASTIC actor, he does action and also does his own stunts. Like. He is a bonafide ACTOR..
Last samurai is perhaps my favorite film ever made
Trueromancee it's nice to hear an interview remember it
Trueromancee I love The Last Samurai.
Damn good film.
Great movie
One of the life changing movies ive been fortunate to witness
Brilliant interview. Far better than the cliche’ schtick churned out by Hollywood reporters that is always so difficult to watch. Well done!
DPhoto exactly, you can tell both of them were enjoying it
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Tom Cruise!July 3, 2022. Thank you for years of entertainment. May you live to be a hundred and more.
That Les Grossman roll made him way cooler in my eyes, not that he needed to prove it but was still awesome.
I had no idea it was even him until the credits
I like Tom Cruise. Good solid actor. NEVER phones it in.
holy sh..... this interview felt like a documentary on tom cruise.
beautiful
Can we appreciate how good of a “yes” man Bill Hader plays in this movie?
Hate him or love Him, in a Zombie apocalypse you'll want Tom Cruise on your side
13th Evergreen
For Sho
Definitely
You want someone slower than you by your side. Tom Cruise will outrun you every time!
He actually has mental and pyrokinetic powers.
Or brad pitt lmao
This is one of the best interviews I've seen with Tom Cruise. Glad to find out how his role in TT came about.
Just saw Top Gun : Maverick. Excellent, and Tom is superb. So are the planes, but Tom sews it all together. That last 40-50 minutes is solid Gold.
Everyone says Tom is crazy, I say crazy like a fox, this man is a brilliant actor and despite his religious beliefs, you can't deny his talent as one of the best actors of this generation. Love you, Tom! 💜
"religious" is a stretch
My two sons sat me down to watch Tropic Thunder, to see how quickly I realized Les Grossman was Tom Cruise, it took me a few seconds of stammering “is is that Tom, Tom Cruise”, I was gobsmacked at his performance. Just brilliant. ❤
Tom cruise is a very down to earth nice man.yet a little crazy because he does all his stunts.
It's incredible to see an actor so passionate about his craft so long after he began it. It feels so rare when there's someone who's still so connected with their work and still genuinely loves what they do. Regardless of Tom's past and controversies, he really, really does love what he's doing and I hope he spreads that love and drive for movies and acting throughout the industry so there can be more actors genuinely into what they're doing.
One of the signs that Tom acts because he loves it is that he still remembers lines from the movies he’s acted in. So many actors just do it for the money and just forget what they’ve done and move on to the next piece. But *definitely* not Tom. He’s absolutely one of the best actors in Hollywood, past present and future ❤️
This guy should interview Quentin Tarantino.
He'd still find a reason to complain or something. He's a terrible interviewee
He'd shut his butt down. QT is odd.
He has now mate
Anthony his interview with this dude is actually really interesting
G
Tom Cruise has always been a fascinating character. Even more so these last few years. Weird personal life to say the least, but at the same time so dedicated to his art. His filmography isn’t flawless, but as a whole, wow. And with the recent MI movies, he’s just in a league of his own now.
Oh of the best interviews I have seen with tom cruise
such a nice guy
I know! It's fucked up that someone seemingly so nice is deeply involved with a henious cult. I think he might be a sociopath.
He's HOT af
Makaveli Soldier Tom Cruise is literally the leader of the cult, he's treated like the pope. Leah Remini talls about this on her show
I know, I watch it. He's not the leader but he is treated like a pope or saint or some shit. I use to think maybe they keep him in the dark about all the sinister shit that goes on but ex members say he does know what really goes on. It's fucked up.
who's to say that's true tho. could just be saying that cause it makes headlines. That going clear documentary pretty much said he's sheilded from it, yet still critisises him for it.
this does not sound like 100% crazy to me, bro. Maybe Tom Cruise just loves movies.
Who is this "Cory/McCorry" who watches movies at Tom Cruise's house? 7:18
tintinismybelgian Christopher McQuarrie, , he wrote the usual suspects, directed the last two mission impossible movies.
I'm not sure how many times I've watched this interview, but I hope TH-cam keeps recommending it.
Not a single comment about the movie he's promoting? Fuck it I'll go, American Made is currently at 93% on rotten tomatoes, Can't wait!
Tom Cruise makes you respect what actors do.
Finally, an interviewer who is interesting, engaging for not only the viewer but the person being interviewed. Tom Cruise looked like he was legitimately having a good time and that helped me have a good time.
0:52 He still looks the same like in Jerry Maquire. Even wears same clothes lol.
And that’s what makes him the most excellent actor that he is. He really is the most under appreciated actor in hollywood. I’m definitely not a celebrity crusher at all but I do appreciate a great movie and I really appreciate a actor who perfects their craft and stays out of my political business.
hardest working person in show biz
Wow this is one of the best interviews I have ever seen in my life. ❤ thank you
His best action sequence has to be the night club bit in Collateral.
