That’s Something You Can’t Forget
I’ll have to go back and check out the Christian Bale interview to see what he’s talking about. I’m sure it happened that way, but I’d want to see it for myself. Tom Cruise is a wonderful actor but tends to come across as overly manufactured. On the other hand, Christian Bale is a little too intense for my taste. Now I understand why!
This little anecdote serves as a fantastic put-down of Tom Cruise’s character. It’s amusing enough that Cruise can’t be angry, and it’s harsh enough to make a point. Seriously, consider it for a moment. Bale suggests that he based his psychotic performance on Cruise being himself rather than any of his acting roles in Hollywood. The entertainment industry is ruthless!
