He can’t handle the risks!

OBVIOUSLY, I'm talking about acting risks not literal, physical, life and death risks, TVG. No one takes more LITERAL risks than that guy.

He worked with the best director in the business. He did so many different characters its incredible you guys dont see it. And yes, he takes so many physical risks in all the movies, just to get the perfect shot, its almost inhuman.

He is the last renaissance man we have.

Again, I'm not discounting his filmography at all. He has a wide variety of roles across his entire career. But lately he hasn't really stretched. I'd love to see him do, I don't know, like a movie like The Artist or like a bananas screw-ball comedy or something. Just something that is outside of the framework of the guy we've come to know in last handful of years.

But, again, I'm not discounting what he's done or criticizing his career, thus far, in any way. Just stating a preference for what I'd like to see from him.

Realises nobody in this conversation has ever seen Far and Away and oh boy it’d kill their Cruise hard on if they did

I like Far and Away.

*Lucky Charms leprechaun accent* I WILL GET OUR LAND SHANNON

Oh god.

*just to point out nobody In my country actually talks with anything like the bizarre accent you think we do. Especially his in that film

And you can’t buy lucky charms here either. They tried and man did it go badly.

His accent is TERRIBLE. But the movie is alright.

Saw him and Kidman and Howard walking round temple bar when they came to film. It doubled for the slum in Boston in the film I think

He’s really short

Yeah, he's like 4'9 or something.

That short?
It seemed worse cos she was so tall beside him

*thats too short for a lot of the roles he’s been in. Fighter pilot and barman especially

Nah, I think he's actually like 5'6 or 5'7. Something like that.

‘He’s tall in other ways’


(Susan Sarandon said that to me when I was nervous and asked her ‘you know ed right? He’s very short!’ I was really nervous)
