Thandie Newton reveals her "nightmare" working with Tom Cruise
Working with Tom Cruise is not exactly a good experience due to the character of the famous, said actress Thandie Newton, regarding the filming of the film "Mission Impossible 2", which was released in 2000.
Thandie Newton was Tom Cruise's partner in "Mission Impossible 2" and for two decades, the artist, 47, still remembers: "a nightmare" working with the star of the film, ensuring that she was "terrified" for almost the entire filming.
Newton offered statements about Tom Cruise in an interview with Vulture, where she also addressed Scientology issues - such as screenwriter Paul Haggis - which once again directed the conversation towards the American actor and producer.
It was then that the actress recounted her experience on the set of "Mission Impossible 2" and, of course, it was not a good experience.
“I've never been asked, but I was scared of Tom. He was a very domineering individual, he tries very hard to be a good person, but with pressure he takes on a lot of responsibility. And I think he has the feeling that he can only do everything. "
Then the star recalled what it was like to shoot one of the first sequences of the film, in which she and Tom Cruise are on a balcony in Seville with many extras and pyrotechnics.
Apparently John Woo (director of the feature film), made the decision that Newton's character did not speak English, something that was useful in the film, but that he did not sit well with the team, especially Cruise.
As Newton tells it, in her attempts to help her learn her script, the only thing the actor managed to do was make her more nervous and even frustrate her.
“I can't imagine anything that was less revealing. It just pushed me into a terrain of terror and insecurity. It was a real shame. I was embarrassed. "
She assured the renowned actress, who at that time was taking her first steps in the cinema.
Thandie Newton also narrated when Tom Cruise called the actress back to re-film the sequence a week later.
Finally, Ella Newton revealed that it was actually Nicole Kidman, the then partner of the protagonist, who got him the role of her.
