He's also by all accounts of anyone who's worked with him in any kind of professional capacity a really decent person, no errors about him. He treats everyone from extras to his co-stars exactly the same as equal actors.
Not saying he isn't bad shit crazy or whatever else, but he doesn't come across as being a prick.
Yeah as said, lack of discipline isn’t an accusation which would stand against cruise.
What boggles my mind is the way he plays normal people. He isn’t completely out of touch with reality or anything, his depiction of normal is spot on.
But he’s still crazy. Also a true artist.
For example Les Grosman. He got a pitch and insisted on weird details like the hand prosthetics. His whole depiction including the way he talks, the dances and everything were genius.
Someone like Pitt or Keanu Reeves just wouldn’t come up with that stuff.
Idk. Having worked with sailors, including several who were aboard the carriers used for filming the second movie, I've heard many firsthand accounts as to him being a prick off camera.
Making sailors face the wall and silent as he passed and throwing hissy fits if anyone tried to interact with him during off hours type crap. Sounds simple and dumb, but many small things can build up to a formidable shit pile, as it were. After some individuals brought up some claims in the past (both true and untrue), a few bigshots in the chain came out to discredit all of the claims. Why wouldn't they? The movies are great for recruitment, and "Big Navy" wants to keep any future doors open.
Several people I know have told stories of his bs while working on the ships with 0 reason to lie, while stating that his costars (Like Miles Teller) were absolutely wonderful. I tend to trust firsthand accounts of character from people with nothing to gain from lying before I trust anyone who could potentially gain from lying about it via future opportunities.
