Tom Cruise once told Annabelle Wallis (his co-star in The Mummy), that nobody is allowed to run with him on screen. Tom Cruise has always been famous for his discipline and rules on both on and off the cameras. Cruise is adored by millions of fans all around the world. They are not affected by Tom’s failures and successes. Even when Tom’s movies don’t do well at the box office, his performance is still appreciated and adored. People’s fascination with him never fades away.
Tom Cruise has always been on top list of Hollywood all because of the love of his fans and ofcourse his amazing performances
Fans constant love and support have what helped Cruise stay on the top position for so long despite facing so many failures on the way. Moviegoers and particularly his fans love to hear about his private life. Fans want to know everything about him, be it his demand, his involvement with an interest in Scientology, and how he communicates with the general public, and his cast and crew. I don’t think any other Hollywood Star is so much in demand than our very own Tom Cruise.
Annabelle Wallis in a recent interview revealed how Tom Cruise never let anyone run with him on the screen. But changed his mind after Wallis didn’t back off and did every bit possible to make it happen. And she succeeded. She called that moment “better than an Oscar”.
Wallis said, “He’s on a different level, and, you know, I ticked a box. I got to run on-screen with him, but he told me no at first. He said, “Nobody runs on-screen [with me],” and I said, “But I’m a really good runner.” So, I would time my treadmill so that he’d walk in and see me run. And then he added all these running scenes. So, that was it. It was, like, better than an Oscar. I was so happy! (Laughs.) I was so happy that I got to run on-screen with Tom Cruise. But I don’t think it ever goes away and I hope it never does. It’s so wonderful to be excited by someone and in awe of what they’ve achieved in their lives. Yeah, good on him. And I hope the questions never stop. I love talking about him. It’s really cool.
The Mummy failed to beat Universal’s Dark Universe in terms of success
While it was a huge thing for Wallis to run along with Tom in the movie but it didn’t catch much attention. The Mummy didn’t do well at the box-office. It wasn’t even able to beat Universal’s Dark Universe in terms of success. This leads the studio to rethink its decision of how the classic monster movies should be introduced to the modern public. Moreover, since Tom Cruise changed his mind and let Wallis (The Mummy co-star) run with him was still a huge success for her. Also, because at that time she wasn’t even known to the international audiences.
Also, Wallis’ praises for Tom proves that how amazing person he is. As even after refusing to run with her at first, she still never stops praising him. He has magic. Nobody can hate him. He is a perfectionist and his idea of filmmaking comes from many years of experience into this line. He knows what works on the screen and what doesn’t. If you are not a “Cruise Fan” then you are probably missing out on something huge.
