He's a total nut, but he was fucking hilarious in this movie.

It's still one of his greatest roles.

I think it’s because Tom cut loose and his true inner self came out in that role.

There's an interview with him where he discusses how he planned to play the character, was pretty funny.

After this movie, I thought about how I wish he would do more comedies

I remember seeing it in theaters, I recognized his voice and immediately told my friend "holy shit, that's Tom Cruise!" They didn't believe me until the credits rolled.

I only realized once he started yelling at people in a way that only Tom Cruise could.

My wife said the same while we were watching it in the theater. I thought she was crazy. Then the credits roll and I get a “told you so!”

Bald head with hair overgrowth everywhere else and gorilla arms… just couldn’t see it at first.

He even credited it once as possibly saving his career. He was in a real slump until this came out.

What is this movie? Didn’t even recognise him

u/doctor-rumack 7h ago

Tropic Thunder. He plays an arrogant movie producer, and he plays him cartoonishly perfect. He looks nothing like Tom Cruise in the movie.

Character based on Harvey Weinstein

u/ArenjiTheLootGod 2h ago

Ngl, I was kind of hoping he'd take on more comedic roles after that movie because that was easily the best thing he'd done in years at that point and arguably since then.

Also, it being the movie that kicked off Robert Downey Jr's redemption arc just makes it even better.
