“I don’t respect”: Mickey Rourke criticized the acting work of Tom Cruise

______________________________

The day before, Mickey Rourke became a guest of the Uncensored on Monday show, where, in a dialogue with host Piers Morgan, he shared his opinion on the blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, which recently became the highest grossing film of this year and recent years, having collected $ 1 billion at the global box office. It turned out that Rourke categorically did not like the lead actor Tom Cruise. The actor considers his role to be hackneyed, and he does not respect Cruise himself professionally.

This guy has been playing the same role for 35 years. I do not respect this approach, – said 69-year-old Rourke.

Moreover, Mickey, according to him, has someone to look up to, and 59-year-old Cruz is definitely not the same Hollywood colleague.

It means nothing to me. I don’t care about money and power. When I look at the work of Al Pacino, Chris Walken, the early work of De Niro, Richard Harris and Ray Winston, I think that I want to be like them, – the actor emphasized.

When the TV presenter directly asked if he thought Cruise was a good actor, he evaded the answer.

I think this person is out of place in my life,” he said.

It is not known if the movie stars know each other personally. However, the ill-wishers did not prevent the action movie “Top Gun: Maverick” from collecting a mind-blowing box office. No wonder, because Tom Cruise worked hard for the promotion of the film: he flew to the premiere by helicopter, and in the UK he showed the tape to Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Note that this is not the first time Rourke has openly criticized filmmakers. Last year, he stated that he does not like Marvel films and does not understand the actors who star in them.
