Tom Cruise tells GQ he warns co-stars: I am intense
Tom Cruise says the rumours are true: he is intense on film sets.
The actor makes the admission in a GQ cover interview published on 15 September, tied to his starring role in Digger, the latest drama from Alejandro G. Iñárritu, according to Variety.
He does not wait for co-stars to find out on day one. Cruise says he warns them before filming starts about how he works and what he expects from the job, according to Variety. It is a heads-up. He wants everyone to know what is coming.
The cover is a milestone in itself. It is his first GQ cover in 20 years, photographed by Mario Sorrenti and written by Zach Baron, according to GQ. Baron spoke to Cruise alongside Iñárritu for the story, according to GQ.
Cruise also talked about where people watch films. He said he has nothing against cable, television or Netflix, and thinks they are great for creating jobs, according to Variety. What he loves about cinema is simpler. People coming together in a room and sharing an experience.
What makes this stand out is the part he has chosen. GQ described his role in Digger as his riskiest creative swing since Tropic Thunder, according to GQ. No plot twists given. Just a very driven star saying he knows exactly how he comes across, and he is not dialling it down.
