Tom Cruise is one of the biggest movie stars in the entire world. For decades, the actor has fronted a host of feature films, turning them into immediate box office hits. His power seems to never end and that is due to his talent and the dedication he has made to the profession.

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, not everything is rosy for the protagonist of Top Gun and Mission Impossible. Despite all the success and having worked with some of the most acclaimed directors in cinema, Cruise has also earned a reputation that has backfired at times, landing him in headlines and being the target of a great deal of rumours.

 

 

 

 

 

Although no one doubts his talent and ability, he has sometimes been listed as one of those actors who can be a bit difficult to work with. Especially because of his explosive personality. In 2006, Paramount Pictures decided to go their separate ways with Tom Cruise and his production company Cruise/Wagner Productions. At that time, the argument had been the controversial behavior of the actor, especially for his publicized defense of Scientology and the denunciation of the use of antidepressant medications.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a recent interview with The Daily Mail, the actor's former manager, Eileen Berlin, spoke about Tom Cruise's personality and his apparent explosive behavior that has been talked about so much.

“Tommy had many faces, you see it in the photos. There is contempt, arrogance, frustration, charm, sadness. I saw him in all those moods. What I have never seen is a real display of happiness in Tommy. He was always very, very ambitious, very, very determined to be a star. And that made him a perfectionist," said Eileen, who represented him during his early rise to stardom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Tommy had a terrible temper. He harbored a lot of anger towards his natural father. He was in a bad mood and would be angry in an instant. It was as if something was on fire and was going to boil and explode," the 82-year-old woman told the magazine. British publication, something he attributes to his budding insecurity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She remembers the time for his 19th birthday when he presented her with an album of all the advertising articles in teen magazines. This not only sparked the anger of the actor, who told him that he did not want to be in such posts since he considered himself an adult, not a teen idol. So the actor ended up throwing the album at Eileen and hitting her in the face.

 

 

 

 

 

This is not the first time that Cruise has been in the news because of his temperament. In December 2020, during the filming of Mission Impossible 7, an audio was revealed that hinted at the actor's volatile personality. There he could be heard yelling at the members of the shoot for not respecting the health protocols imposed due to Covid-19.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tom's reputation for being highly controlling would also have been one of the obstacles in Universal Pictures' plans for the development of The Dark Universe, since during the production of The Mummy, released in 2017, the interpreter took creative control over it. . It was recently reported that Paramount Pictures was planning to release Mission: Impossible 7 on Paramount Plus about 45 days after its theatrical release. Apparently this did not please Tom Cruise, so shortly after, the studio confirmed that the release of the film in streaming would take time to arrive and thus have more time to shine at the box office.

 

 

 

 

 

The actor can next be seen in Top Gun: Maverick which will hit theaters at the end of May this year, while Mission Impossible 7 will arrive in July 2023, and Mission Impossible 8 will arrive in June 2024.
