Ego Crazy Cruise January 4, 2008
Posted by movies in : Uncategorized , trackback
The ego and plain big headedness of Tom Cruise never ceases to amaze it appears that he has turned down a role to star alongside Will Smith for fear of being outshone by the box office favourite.
I get a sense of bitterness towards our Will, who is clearly a favourite with cinema go-ers and can currently do no wrong at the box office, as Cruise was that guy and now, after his made ‘I Love Katie’ rants and his odd Scientology beliefs, he has been left looking a couple of pence short of a pound.
 Having said that I could outshine Cruise in a movie he is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most over-rated actor (yes yes he gave a good performance in Rain Man) but he seems to have got along on the fact he stands outside with his fans for hours signing autographs ever since.
What’s even more amusing is he won’t star with Smith yet had no problem appearing in a movie with Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, one of the best actresses of all time, in Lions for Lambs.
Or could it be that he believed that with Redford and Streep in a movie about the war on terror he may land himself an Oscar nomination - I wonder!!  Â
Can someone please explain to me why this actor feels the need to be the centre of attention in every movie that he is in?
Take Mark Wahlberg for example he had been quite for a while, on the lead up to The Departed then, fourth or fifth down the cast list he delivers a performance that eclipsed all the other supporting actors, stealing every scene and bagging himself a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination over Nicholson and Damon.Â
And talking of being outshone has any one seen I Am Legend? The damn dog steals the show!!
