The Tom Cruise Fishy Mission Impossible Diet
January 7, 2012 Last month, Tom Cruise hit the big screen to reprise his role as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol. As a man that likes to do his own stunts and look great while doing them, Cruise put himself on a pretty strict diet to help him get in shape.
"Tom went on an all-fish diet to get a lean, athletic frame to play Ethan Hunt," a source said. "Tuna's the only solid food he was eating, along with macrobiotic drinks."

Matt Damon and Cameron Crowe on the power of music and Tom Cruise I recently chatted with Damon and Crowe about the film for this Sunday Style piece, which, because of space limitations, couldn’t possibly capture the many topics covered during a 40-minute conversation. In addition to discussing New Yorker critic David Denby’s initial dismissal of “We Bought a Zoo,” we also talked about the impact that using music on the set (a signature Crowe move) had on Damon’s performance, as well as the acting abilities of their current multiplex competitor, Tom Cruise.
Here are more extracts from that interview, in which Damon uses big words like “amygdala” and says of Cruise, “He is a much better actor than I think people understand.”
Damon, on what gets to him in Crowe’s movie “Jerry Maguire”:
There are a few parts, actually. I was watching it with my wife. It’s Tom [Cruise], is what gets to me. Tom’s performance is what gets to me, ultimately. He anchored that movie. He’s such a better actor than I think people understand, and that performance is still great 15 years later. It is worth going back and looking at again. It is one of the great leading-man performances.
When a movie gets to you, there are a bunch of things that start to work on you. The relationship between Cuba [Gooding Jr.]’s character and his wife, that starts to get to me. By the end of it I’m just so teed up for the final scene with Tom and Renee [Zellweger] in front of the women’s group. My wife looks over, and tears are running down [my face] and I’m wiping them away.
But it got to her, too. . . . I’m not ashamed to say that.
Crowe and Damon, on the possibility of Crowe making a movie that brings together Damon, Cruise and “Say Anything . . .” star John Cusack:
Damon: I love that idea.
Crowe: Oh, man. Tom Cruise came to visit the set when we were making “We Bought a Zoo,” and I kind of stood back at a certain point and watched the two of them talking, and I had the same idea. It’s like, damn. . . .
Damon: I had met [Tom Cruise] briefly a couple of times, but we really got to talk and, uh, spend a little time together. And then I talked to him on the phone after he saw some scenes. He dropped by the editing room and saw some stuff and called me. And that was amazing. SOURCE

Cameron Crowe talks the Longevity of 'Vanilla Sky' We Bought a Zoo strives to be Cameron Crowe‘s biggest crowd-pleaser yet, and it’s coming after two of his most splitting features. Elizabethtown was not met kindly and Vanilla Sky either blew your mind or frustrated the hell out of you, despite being a film that made one of the most likable movie stars a total narcissist whose face is mostly hidden — how many directors do that to movie stars?
While speaking to Crowe, he reminded me a lot of his films — someone who clearly wears his heart on his sleeve, and not in an artificial way. In fact, the first thing Crowe said to me left a big goofy smile on my face for days, which is what his films usually do as well. The man was kind enough to give me extra time, and even by the end I felt like we could have gone on for hours.
The writer-director and I spent more time than I expected but hoped on Vanilla Sky, as well as his writing process, how old films are like diary entries, and why it’s easier to make cynical films nowadays.
Q: Was that process different at all on Vanilla Sky? Did the trippy feel of that movie affect that process?
A: That’s a really good question. Again, it’s the stuff that’s grounded in the personal. I’ve always loved the idea of Noah Taylor saying, at one point, “Am I blowing your mind?” [Laughs] I love that. That was dialog I thought would be really fun. Or when that guy says, “This is the revolution of the mind,” that was a big thing. Also, sad Tom Cruise watching the Thanksgiving parade go past him his window in New York scene was another one of those bullies. It’s fun, it’s fun to think about it now.
Q: It’s interesting how, unlike the rest of your films, that film is about someone very narcissistic and there’s some cynicism to it. At the time, did you see it as going outside of your wheelhouse?
A: I did, I did. I love Abre los ojos and liked that this was a movie that could shake it up. It was kind of a way I read other people talking about their punk rock experiences, where there would be one record they made and didn’t think about. They went in with a producer who knew how to work fast and just banged up this thing that may have rough edges, but it was a snapshot of how they felt at the time. That was Vanilla Sky — a chaotic look at an internal life through a prism of pop culture. You’re getting bombard with all these images of paradise and pain, and everybody’s throwing their images at you. Where’s the personal in the middle of that chaos? That was the idea. So we were going to make the movie the way the movie felt, with the search of meaning. You know, I saw Vanilla Sky not too long ago, and I gotta say, there are things here and there that make me go, “Whoa, that could’ve been different or you could’ve done that.” Overall, it completely matched what we were going for. It felt like a cry the inner-caves of pop culture [Laughs].
Q: I like how you described it as being similar to punk rock. At the time I remember my Dad seeing it, and I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but he hated it.
A: Oh yeah.
Q: But, to me, it had that punk rock feel of, “He doesn’t get it, but I do.”
A: You know, Jack, when they first showed that movie I think people were still upset about 9/11 and it had been advertised a bit like it was a Fatal Attraction story. When it became obvious that it wasn’t that and was more risky and psychedelic, they would send people up the aisles of the theater saying, “This is not the movie you think it is! This is a warning!” I was like, “Wow, that’s like what they do for smell-o vision or something.” [Laughs] It’s like, “We did something different here.” I gotta say, through the years, that is the movie I hear about the most, that and Almost Famous.
Q: It almost seems like a post-9/11 movie, actually. There is that theme of finding meaning in a terrible situation.
A: Yeah. We made it, you know, right before 9/11 and it came out after 9/11. It was kind of like a message from pre-9/11 to post-9/11, and it was disturbing. I love Noah Taylor. Also, underrated Tom Cruise.
Q: I love the idea of casting a movie star of that caliber, and then making him an asshole whose face is behind a mask for a lot of the film. When making that film, did you ever get a note saying, “What are you doing?”
A: No, no notes at all. Tom really wanted to bravely go right to that. [Pause] They’re handing me notes that I got to go, but we will hold them off! Tom was constantly driving the protective element of that movie in such a great way. Not only did he not want the paparazzi not to get a picture of him in the disfigured make-up, he didn’t want anyone to know much about what we were doing. We ramped up fast, similarly to We Bought a Zoo. It was, “There’s a feeling, and let’s go quickly and catch it.” Tom was really a big fan of us doing something different and surprising people. You know, not unlike going to the top of the building in Dubai for Mission Impossible, he was like, “Man, you wanna clear Times Square? Let’s do it!” It was that kind of spirit of adventure that we were into. Again, when you get an actor like Tom or Matt Damon — who are just skilled, experienced, and trust you — you just feel like you can go, go, go. In the case of Vanilla Sky, it took years for people to understand what that movie was trying to do. Now, they get it. The Roots are obsessed with Vanilla Sky! When we were on the Jimmy Fallon Show, I thought they were kidding at first. Man, they’re working on a tribute album with samples from Vanilla Sky! I just love it. It makes you feel like everything you do is like a rocket you send out, and sometimes it lands way, way off into the future someplace. SOURCE

Chris Egan praises Tom Cruise Another week goes by and yet another Hollywood actor has spoken out about what a great guy Tom Cruise is. Zac Efron has previously stated the he really liked Tom Cruise and Bryan Cranston has praised him for his work. Now, it is the turn of former Home and Away actor Chris Egan, who met Tom at a party and admitted that he was a really nice guy. Egan explained, "My agent had mentioned me to Tom Cruise. The first big party I went to, Tom Cruise came up to me and said, 'You're Chris Egan, aren't you?' That made my year. I thought, 'What a stand-up guy to go out of his way to do that'. He gave me his entire attention; he gives you 100% of himself. You feel like you're the only one in the room when he is talking to you, he makes you feel very valued." Chris then discussed his move from Australian soaps to Hollywood. He added, "There's no real road map. Everyone's journey is different. You have to persevere and be willing to put everything in it. You have to stick it out. Also, be careful who you let into your life." Tom Cruise will next appear on the big screen in Rock of Ages, which is released on June 1 in the US and June 8 in the UK. fanshare.com

Whaaa??? Bryan Cranston praised Cruise? Where? That's high praise, from a high source. I absolutely love Cranston and I think he's an incredible actor (Breaking Bad anyone??)... I had no idea he was in Rock of Ages up until 2 weeks ago. My anticipation level for that film just sky rocketed. I mean, Walter White in a musical? I'm so there!
