‘Let’s start a rumor right now’

What do you think Tom Cruise is doing right now? Our assumption is that if it does not plunge a cliff or did not hang a helicopter, it is actively planning the next time it can do it. One thing he is not Conversely appearing on podcasts, but fortunately, some of his former Costars are ready to take over.

On the last episode of Literally! With Rob LoweLowe’s guest was her longtime boyfriend Ralph Macchio, currently in theaters with Karate Kid: Legends. The two both appeared in the adaptation by Francis Ford Coppola of Se Hinton ForeignersA hit from the beginning of the 80s with an avalanche of guys of heart.

Elsewhere in the distribution (although in a role with a limited screen time) was the young Thomas Mapother IV, better known in the world under the name of Tom Cruise. The guys recalled how Cruise was dedicated to making his own waterfalls over 40 years ago.

“Each time I see Tom doing these incredible and crazy waterfalls,” recalls Lowe, “I look when Francis made us, for any reason, to practice gymnasts. Do you remember?”

Macchio admitted that he had been able to escape without as much training than his character, Johnny Cade, was more introverted.

“There has never been any pressure on you to do a backflip,” said Lowe.

“Well, I was not in the rumble. I was in the hospital,” Macchio reminded him. (God, even Rob Lowe seen Foreigners?!?!?)

“That’s what it was,” added Lowe. “But there was a lot of pressure on us to learn backflips and do all this s — and I do not know if you have already learned a return. It’s difficult, it’s scary like S —. Tom was the only one to have done. And if you watch the film, the film plays, but the film continues.”

Lowe does not lie here. In the sequence where the Gras Grasse leaves their HQ on the path of rumble with these ugly SoCs, Cruise jumps on a car, then makes a backflip, just because it looks cool.

“This is where it started for him,” said Lowe. “One hundred percent, that’s where it started.”

Macchio remembered: “He was quite hunted from the first day. I mean, that Gentleman had a plan, he really did it. Very distinctly, it happened there. He has the backflip and he was hiding, grabbing the back of his head, because I am not sure that he stuck the landing, but the car was out of the setting.”

Lowe and Macchio then started to wonder if Coppola deployed a “Texas Switch”, a cinema term for a meticulous blockage can be masked when an actor is replaced by a stuntman in the frame.

After Macchio said mischievous Foreigners. “”

Macchio has moved away from this, however, noting: “It’s a bit difficult with the current images that play on your flow right away of him not carrying a parachute, “referring to a particularly crazy moment Mission: Impossible – the last calculation.

“The hot parachute,” added Lowe. “It hurts my stomach.”

Macchio replied: “It’s incredible”, which clearly indicates that the two actors in truth have the right respect for Tom Cruise.
