Thandiwe Newton Sees Tom Cruise as a Man with Pressure
While speaking with Vulture, Thandiwe Newton even talked aboutTom Cruiseand how she found herself to be afraid of him. It was because of his aura and just how much he puts on his shoulders when it comes to the projects he works on. The actress elaborated that his need to excel in everything is because of the pressure he takes on himself.
“I was so scared of Tom. He was a very dominant individual. He tries superhard to be a nice person. But the pressure. He takes on a lot. And I think he has this sense that only he can do everything as best as it can be done. There was one time, we were doing this night scene, there were so many extras with pyrotechnics and you name it, and it was a scene with him and me on the balcony. And I don’t think it was a very well-written scene. I get angry with him. We’re frustrated with each other.”
According to Newton, he even went so far as two practice lines in each other’s roles during the filming ofMission: Impossible 2because he could better navigate the way she was speaking her lines in order for him to deliver his own.
