Hollywood superstarTom Cruiseis passionate about the cinematic experience, particularly in theaters, with theTop Gun: Maverickstar revealing that he frequently puts on a simple disguise in order to see every movie that comes out. Every. Single. One. In a report courtesy ofVulture, which largely discusses how dull Cruise has apparently been at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, it’s revealed that the star ofMission: Impossiblecompletes the seemingly impossible task of seeing every movie that is released in theaters. Yes, presumably evenMorbius.
Cruise revealed that he goes incognito to the theater saying, “I put on my cap and I sit in the audience.” Now, whether Tom Cruise actually endeavors to see every single movie that hits the big screen is open to debate. But, if anyone can do it, then it’s probably Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise has not been shy about vocalizing his love for releasing movies on the silver screen, with the actor adamant that the upcoming legacy sequelTop Gun: Maverickwould not be released via streaming. Not so long as he draws breathe, anyway. “No, they wouldn’t — that’s not gonna happen, ever,” the actor said, no doubt smiling with his mouth but not his eyes. “That is never gonna happen. Ever. That is never gonna happen. No.”
This is far from the first time that Cruise has addressed the very suggestion of a streaming release forTop Gun: Maverickwith such assertion. “That was not going to happen ever,” Cruise said of a streaming release for the long-awaited sequel last week. “I make movies for the big screen.” The actor even went so far as to contact theater owners and assure them that he will continue to fight for them. “I’ve spent a lot of time with theater owners. The people that serve the popcorn, the ones who make this [happen]," he said, before adding that he called them to say, “Please, I know what you’re going through. Just know we are making Mission: Impossible and Top Gun is coming out.”
