Gilbert Flores/Variety Tom Cruise told GQ magazine as part of a new cover story on the “Digger” star that rumors about him being intense on movie sets are true, and he warns his co-stars upfront about it before filming starts. Movies are all about connecting “humanity,” the Oscar-nominated actor said, and he’s not afraid to be intense or foolish on sets in order to achieve this goal.
“So movies are — this is about humanity. I have nothing against cable or TV or Netflix. I think it’s great. Create jobs and everything. But what I like about cinema is it is all of us coming together in a room and sharing an experience,” Cruise said. “When I’m working with people, I’m not afraid to, as I’m acting, to look foolish, to do it. It’s like: That’s not what this is about. It’s finding our tone, finding these tools together and having an experience. And look, I work hard, and people that work with me, they know. I expect a lot and I’m upfront about it. It’s like: ‘The rumors are true. And do you want this?’ I’m like, ‘Trust me, the rumors are true. I’ll be here before you. What experience do you want?'”
