Tom Cruise’s Stunt-ed Growth
Filming continues this week on the Boston, MA set of the new Tom Cruise action film Wichita and it looks like Tommy boy is really getting into character. Not content to let a measly stuntman have all the fun, Tom insisted on performing all of his own stunts on a shoot yesterday that required his character to leap from one car to another car while speeding down the freeway:
It’s very clear that Tom likes to be a hands on kind of actor … you may recall that he got all grabby with co-star Cameron Diaz last week and this week he’s all leaping from speeding car to speeding car. I have to say, it is nice to see him back to work again … it goes a long way in helping people forget his crazy behavior of the past few years. I mean, I won’t forget his craziness but keeping bizzy with work will do much to help repair his image. I can’t help but be impressed that he likes to do his own stunts in these action films … I believe he did many of his own stunts in the Mission: Impossible films. I don’t know that the dreamy movie star Tom Cruise from the 80’s/90’s will ever come back to us but as long as the cruisazy couch-jumping nutball stays at bay I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

Studio execs are far too optimistic if they think I’m ever paying to see that nut in a movie again.
