Cruise is and has been one of the rare actors who can go to any extent to make the character authentic. It is the preparation that makes the finished product so enjoyable.
I remember watching the movie in theaters and I remember saying “whoever that bald homie is with the fat man hands it sounds like Tom Cruise” bc he literally did something different than he normally does in his movies from Jack Reacher, Ethan Hunt, Maverick (Top Gun) Colonel Stauffenberg, etc, etc
Tropic Thunder one of the best comedy movie of all time and the cast is phenomenal, if Heath Ledger wasn't nominated back then RDJ would have an Oscar by now.
it really, really is. so many parts are just beyond perfect.... "you're telling me I have to choose between my best friend of 15 years, and a G5.... a G5... airplane"
I remember watching Tropic Thunder when it came out without knowing anything about it, and I didn't realize Tom Cruise was in it until few weeks later!
I watched the whole movie without a clue. Not til the credits did I realize, and I had to go back and rewatch Les to be sure. That was a great character!
Les Grossman was by far Tom's best ever character purely because it took this guy we all knew as one of the best, serious actors of his generation and put him into a surreal comedy character and he utterly killed it. Of course he did.
Is just that everyone in that movie were hilarious, even Nolte. It really sucks that Tropic Thunder is so underrated by the critics. Is one of the best comedy movie of this century.
Im pretty sure they based the character of les grossman on harvey wienstein. They would never say that now but its pretty obvious thats what they were going for.
@@silent_fungus I've never even heard of it, but I've been curious about other roles he might've had that were good. Example of one thing you really loved about it?
I think Tom Cruise, regardless of what you think about some of his personal choices, has become an American icon in the film industry. His sci-fi and action films are usually top notch.
There hasn't been a movie with him where he didn't completely smash it. Some of the movies might not be all that great but his performances are always worth watching them.... even that Mummy film he did. Live/Die/Repeat or Edge of Tomorrow (whatever you prefer) is one of my absolute favorite films of all time.
Robert Downey Jr. played black face so very well. Too bad it wouldn’t happen today. Comedy should be bigger than peoples then scan and getting all offended all the time.
I would just like to see him step back away from the blockbusters and do some real acting again. He's actually a really good actor. Be good to see him step away from the franchises a bit.
No doubt So nice to see Cruise re-enacting Les Grossman and have a part comedic place in film that reaches many more movie fans and have those lines that caught on Cruise loves what he does
@Vincent H. - Exactly, some of the best acting I've ever seen. I can't imagine how many shots they screwed up by not being able to keep a straight face.
Tom Cruise greatest role! Tropic thunder is one of those movies you don't expect much from, then you watch it and it's one of the best things you've ever experienced, we were all dying of laughter in the theater and for few days after 😂
I feel like Tom is living ten lifetimes. He’s so dedicated to everything he does. It’s amazing to see. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves as an actor, he sort of exists in his own space. Love his energy and positivity about everything where as I can barely push myself to get out of bed.
I've always wondered what he does on his down time (for real, he's my sort of real-life scapegoat, like if I'm shoveling the snowy driveway, I'll think to myself, "I bet Tom Cruise doesn't have to do this") and here he says it: He takes classes. He's always learning. What a great little inspirational message that I don't see anyone really commenting about.
Downey played an Australian who played an African American. It was a comedy, it was a movie, and it was fantastic. He played a black guy better than most black guys.
Cruise joyfully indulges in every facet of his craft. Creating characters is pure fun for him. He studies everything on the set, everything about movie making, everything about the subject of the film.
I was the only person in the theater laugh so hard when Les Grossman asked who was the key grip 😂. I totally understood what was about to happen. Tropic Thunder is one of the best and funniest movies ever!!
all the characters played well. from the "We are FLAMING. DRAGON." to the punching guy, the veteran who is not all that badass as he thinks he is... just all around well written and played out characters.
Steven Nieto that was one movie i wished it didnt end the way it did. They should of made a few more movies of that character. He was almost like John Wick before Wick was a thing.
As much as i have loved Tom's performances over the years, Les is the best character he has portraied to date imo. just was everything that the movie needed him to be.
eating sugar no papa RUclips totally is standard to gauge someone’s approval!!! He’s only had hate and rumors for 20 years or more! 👌 45k likes wow!!! Guess he can sleep soundly now!!!
This was a role that Tom went away from so much of his previous work to present a character to the audience that was Massively larger than life. Mr. Cruise nailed this role.
This is exactly why i love tom cruise more than any other actor.. TC is an A-list actor, in the same level with leonardo dicaprio , brad pitt , Denzel washington etc... but these actors will never ever accept to play such a role as they consider it to be silly and not in their level but Tom did it and in the best way possible. That's why he's the coolest actor and one of a kind.
No we don't. Comedic relief characters just work in the context of whole movie, if you make a spin-off with just this character it goes downhill very fast. Remember the Timon and Pumba TV series? No? Ye because it sucked.
My best friend and I have a tradition where every single time we have a bro weekend we watch Tropic Thunder 1-2 times. Over a decade we have seen it roughly 250-300 times. I can attest to the fact that it's still funny to this day, especially Les Grossman.
I didn't realize that was Tom until the credits started rolling when I first watched it. Was amazed that hed do that. Maybe a little crazy with the scientology but an amazing entertainer and actor.
i already know he is a good actor before this. but yes. I didn't know it was him untill later in the movie. it's interesting that some handsome actors or beautiful actresses have to put ugly makeup on for people to focus on their acting and appreciate their talents instead of their looks. I guess it's human nature. but good choice by Tom Cruise.
I think, he's just surprised. He pigeon-holed himself to a specific type, & when he "broke character", it probably threw him for a loop that he was accepted so much, as a vulgar character like that. It's my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ROLE of his. Same with RDJ. I like "Lincoln Osiris" WAY better than "Iron Man", & I LOVE the MCU films!
I like him well enough as an actor and I do respect the insanity of him doing all of his own stunts... let’s just say the whole Scientology thing doesn’t help.
Because he chose his bs religion over his own daughter? She’s growing up without her father because he’d rather have electrodes sucking out bad energy than be in her life, I think that’s why
I didn’t even know it was Tom until the end credits, he’s that good of an actor and this wasn’t ‘Tom cruise’. Watching it after that it was obvious but the glasses, getup, and character got me on the first watch. He was just too insane and funny that I missed it. :)
I thought its tom,but i wasnt sure because my girlfriend at that time doubted me. Then that stupid bitch fell into a deep sleep after 2/3 of the movie.
I didn’t realize it was Tom Cruise until the scene with Mathew McConaughey!!🤣. He was hilarious!!! One of the best and funniest movies!!! Thank goodness there are still talented people in this lifetime to make us laugh🤘🏻😅
@@vb8428 except scientology is not a religion, it is a business. It actually requires you to pay HUGE sums of money to complete their courses and "ascend the ladder". If you don't have enough money you go to the SEA organization (basically slaverly, teenagers as young as 12 are taken away from their families + education), and you pretty much have no possession or skills, and have to sign a billion year contract. If you want to leave you will be interrogated, tortured, imprisoned, have your family turned against you. You won't see any other 'religion' doing that.
Tom Cruise is a remarkable actor. People get so caught up in the whole scientology thing that they can't see past that. He is a world class, all in actor.
he's had work done... he used to have MASSIVE lines from smiling. i think it was for the mummy movie that he got laser resurfacing or phenol peel. one of the two.
I'm sincerely happy to see Tom like this.. after all the bologna that his image has had this is something nice to see. That they're celebrating a character to a character. Looks great, healthy, sounds good. Good to see Top Gun. Good vibes, good times. Good guy.
Tom Cruise is a genius at spreading life in this character and making her special and memorable. I adore Tom for that and many other things. I love him so much.
Been watching Tom Cruise in movies since Risky Business..I didn't know Les Grossman was him till the end of the movie... Definitely one of my favorite characters 😂
They might probably do that movie with Tom Cruise in the lead..in the next 4-5 years..Will probably be a sleeper hit and give him the Oscar award he so deserves..Hes doing well without it though because a lot of actors popularities wane after they win the oscars..hes gone from strength to strength not withstanding the scientology issues he had to deal with..kudos to him..

Wasn't for fun, was to do a better performance.
@Bobby Boucher He did it for sex
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 Tom cruise doesn't have to do anything for sex.
@@flacidhouse350 Sex has to do stuff for Tom Cruise
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 Sex is out there right now washing his car collection.
Hate all ya want but respect this mans talent.
He’s funny and likable.
The man does his homework and his own stunts. Respect.
eating sugar no papa RUclips totally is standard to gauge someone’s approval!!! He’s only had hate and rumors for 20 years or more! 👌 45k likes wow!!! Guess he can sleep soundly now!!!
Funny, sure. Nothing about scientologists is likeable though.
Yip💯
This was a role that Tom went away from so much of his previous work to present a character to the audience that was Massively larger than life. Mr. Cruise nailed this role.
“We can do whatever we want here.”
I love it.
This is exactly why i love tom cruise more than any other actor.. TC is an A-list actor, in the same level with leonardo dicaprio , brad pitt , Denzel washington etc... but these actors will never ever accept to play such a role as they consider it to be silly and not in their level but Tom did it and in the best way possible. That's why he's the coolest actor and one of a kind.
Did you watch Burn After Reading?
Dicaprio did, Django, Once upon a time in Hollywood. All silly
Who's here after Tom brought Les to the set of MI7?.. 2020 once in a lifetime
Your mother is.
When I first watched the movie I didn't know it was Tom until the credits.
Same here. And same with Robert Downey Jr. :D
We need a grossman film ffs
No we don't. Comedic relief characters just work in the context of whole movie, if you make a spin-off with just this character it goes downhill very fast.
Remember the Timon and Pumba TV series? No? Ye because it sucked.
At least another Cameo
Im drunk but can u get my drift thru the spellin mistakes
i like you
B20C0 in movies everything is possible. It depends on how you do it
I love Tom. It's going to be interesting what characters he'll be playing as he get older.
Exactly!
hes already old
He appears to be a vampire
We need a Les Grossman stand alone movie or tv show
My best friend and I have a tradition where every single time we have a bro weekend we watch Tropic Thunder 1-2 times.
Over a decade we have seen it roughly 250-300 times. I can attest to the fact that it's still funny to this day, especially Les Grossman.
so you must be about 400 years old'
Actually he could be as young as 7-8 years old. That's how weekends work
no way dude@@daniellevitt
Tom seems like he's doing really well. Please give us Tropic Thunder 2!
Sadly RDJ is so expensive nowadays lol
They can't. I bet SO MANY PEOPLE WILL BE OFFENDED IF THEY MAKE A 2 LMAO
Well... You're getting Top Gun 2 now...
Les grossman movie please!
ItsTreesAndDen just like super troopers
I didn't realize that was Tom until the credits started rolling when I first watched it. Was amazed that hed do that. Maybe a little crazy with the scientology but an amazing entertainer and actor.
Same here.
i already know he is a good actor before this. but yes. I didn't know it was him untill later in the movie. it's interesting that some handsome actors or beautiful actresses have to put ugly makeup on for people to focus on their acting and appreciate their talents instead of their looks. I guess it's human nature. but good choice by Tom Cruise.
I don't think he knows how much people love his character
I think, he's just surprised. He pigeon-holed himself to a specific type, & when he "broke character", it probably threw him for a loop that he was accepted so much, as a vulgar character like that. It's my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ROLE of his. Same with RDJ. I like "Lincoln Osiris" WAY better than "Iron Man", & I LOVE the MCU films!
How can you not like Tom Cruise. So talented and down to earth.
Down to earth, except the part about the space alien religion.
I like him well enough as an actor and I do respect the insanity of him doing all of his own stunts... let’s just say the whole Scientology thing doesn’t help.
Thats not what I heard. I heard he was a jerk to military when they filmed Maverick
Because he chose his bs religion over his own daughter? She’s growing up without her father because he’d rather have electrodes sucking out bad energy than be in her life, I think that’s why
Tropic thunder... you gotta watch it with the actors commentary! probably just as funny as the movie
Robert Downey Jr is a comedic GENIUS! He's just too good in the commentary.
Deleted scenes and blooper reel. Downey is hilarious
Never tried that actually! Thanks for the recommendation.
Yeah I watched all the special features
"Man, I don't drop character till I done the DVD commentary."
I didn’t even know it was Tom until the end credits, he’s that good of an actor and this wasn’t ‘Tom cruise’.
Watching it after that it was obvious but the glasses, getup, and character got me on the first watch. He was just too insane and funny that I missed it. :)
Same here. At the end when he is dancing I'm like wtf. No wayy
Yup. Hashtag me too
Was about to comment this
I thought its tom,but i wasnt sure because my girlfriend at that time doubted me. Then that stupid bitch fell into a deep sleep after 2/3 of the movie.
I'M TALKING SCORCHED EARTH
I didn’t realize it was Tom Cruise until the scene with Mathew McConaughey!!🤣. He was hilarious!!! One of the best and funniest movies!!! Thank goodness there are still talented people in this lifetime to make us laugh🤘🏻😅
Finally! I’ve always wanted to see Tom Cruise as a regular guest on Conan! 👌
Tom Cruise is totally likable, despite the weird Scientology crap.
Dude even moved to Clearwater the mothership of Scientology
Most religions are cults
All religions are one, in every woman there is a man. One of us now, one of us now!
@@vb8428 except scientology is not a religion, it is a business. It actually requires you to pay HUGE sums of money to complete their courses and "ascend the ladder". If you don't have enough money you go to the SEA organization (basically slaverly, teenagers as young as 12 are taken away from their families + education), and you pretty much have no possession or skills, and have to sign a billion year contract. If you want to leave you will be interrogated, tortured, imprisoned, have your family turned against you. You won't see any other 'religion' doing that.
What is scientology?
I always felt like Tom had his "Say All the Right Things" hat on for other interviews but this time he seemed to really let loose.
TK W Conan brings out the best
Tom Cruise is a remarkable actor. People get so caught up in the whole scientology thing that they can't see past that. He is a world class, all in actor.
we need the spinoff movie with Les Grossman as the main character, now!
I feel like Les is served better as a supporting character. Maybe a spin off with Les returning.
He's gonna be greatest looking 60 yr in History! #goals 👩
he's had work done...
he used to have MASSIVE lines from smiling.
i think it was for the mummy movie that he got laser resurfacing or phenol peel.
one of the two.
I definitely Googled his age while watching. Dude is 57. My Dad is 63 and looks 20 years older than Tom.
@@basteagui why do you know this
@@MagnumJohnson face injury. been looking into treatments.
You got money you can be young for a long time. Best drs and treatment money can buy no doubt
Tropic Thunder is and will always be one of the greatest American comedy movie of all time
Tropic Thunder is more hilarious than the movie. ' The Grizzly Man.
@@ananthakrishnanvj5090 saw it many times and enjoyed it and it was very good but not as funny as Tropic Thunder.
Les Grossman deserves a whole spin-off movie or series dedicated to him.
I'm sincerely happy to see Tom like this.. after all the bologna that his image has had this is something nice to see. That they're celebrating a character to a character. Looks great, healthy, sounds good. Good to see Top Gun. Good vibes, good times. Good guy.
His best role by far. He was PERFECT lol. I didn't even know it was Tom Mappather at the time either
ΤHIS MASTERPIECE NEEDS A SEQUEL . THE BEST COMEDY IVE EVER WATCHED. LOVED THEM ALL.
Tom Cruise is a genius at spreading life in this character and making her special and memorable. I adore Tom for that and many other things. I love him so much.
Been watching Tom Cruise in movies since Risky Business..I didn't know Les Grossman was him till the end of the movie... Definitely one of my favorite characters 😂
They should do a movie focused on Les Grossman.
LG should produce the faux promo movies at the start of Tropic Thunder. A Meta "the making of the making of the movies " could work again.
They might probably do that movie with Tom Cruise in the lead..in the next 4-5 years..Will probably be a sleeper hit and give him the Oscar award he so deserves..Hes doing well without it though because a lot of actors popularities wane after they win the oscars..hes gone from strength to strength not withstanding the scientology issues he had to deal with..kudos to him..
He was funny AF in Tropic Thunder! I was rolling!! I did not expect to see him.
Les Grossman was one of Tom Cruise's best roles ever. God I love him. He's so cool!
