Two of the films responsible for raising Tom Cruise to stardom were released in 1986. They are: Top Gun — Indomitable Aces and The Color of Money. The first, in particular, became a classic and recorded a huge box office: US$357.3 million, against a budget of US$15 million.

After finishing recording the two features, Cruise acted in Cocktail (1988), a film in which he plays a business student who starts working as a bartender to support himself. Despite negative reviews, it raised a great revenue of US$171.5 million with an investment of US$20 million.

One of her co-stars Tone in this work was Gina Gershon. In an interview with the presenter’s program Andy Cohen (via E.W.), the actress revealed a behind-the-scenes curiosity: she almost broke the actor’s nose while recording a sex scene.

We were under the covers and I told him that I feel very ticklish. I said: ‘No, never do that’. In one take, I think he wanted a reaction, he grabbed my stomach and I kneed him in the nose. I’ve already thought: ‘Oh my God, I just broke Tom Cruise’s nose’. Then he told me: ‘no, you warned me, it was my fault’. He was so protective of me, He was amazing.”

Interestingly, the situation did not cause any discomfort. After all, Cruise had been alerted.

He told me: ‘no, you warned me, it was my fault’. He was so protective of me, He was amazing.”

Recording under the wife’s eyes

In the same interview, Gina Gershon revealed yet another “perrengue” that passed alongside Tom Cruise. The actress said that she had to record many of the scenes with the star under the eyes of her then wife, her professional colleague. Mimi Rogers.

Aware that this could become a problem, Cruise made a point of reassuring Gina during filming. The actress stated:

He had just gotten married. But we kissed as much as we could. In each scene I asked: ‘should we kiss in this scene?’. (Cruise replied) ‘Yes, I think we have to kiss’. They were my first love scenes.”

Not even Tom Cruise likes cocktails

In fact, Cocktail is far from being one of the most memorable works of his successful career. Tom Cruise. In addition to several negative reviews — with just 9% approval on Rotten Tomatoes — the film also “won” the award for Worst Film in the World. Golden Raspberry 1988.

Himself Cruise is aware of the rejection. In a 1992 conversation with Rolling Stone USAlimited himself to saying that Cocktail “it wasn’t a crown jewel” of his career.
