Actor Mickey Rourke said that Tom Cruise seems like an 'irrelevant' performer, just like the box office success of the film 'Top Gun: Maverick'.
Not all that glitters is gold for actor Mickey Rourke. With a reputation for being complicated, the protagonist of the film "The Fighter" decided to attack his colleague Tom Cruise, who recently added another box office success with the sequel to his eighties film, "Top Gun: Maverick."
During an interview with the British program "Piers Morgan Uncensored," Rourke said that the actor from films like "Mission: Impossible" seems "irrelevant" to him. And about the exorbitant collection of the second part of "Top Gun", he noted: "It doesn't mean s*** to me."
"[Tom Cruise] has been playing the same role for 35 years. I have no respect for him. I don't care about money or power. I care... when I see Al Pacino or Christopher Walken's work, or the early work of De "Niro and Richard Harris and Ray Winstone, that's the kind of actor I want to be," he said.
It is not the first time that Mickey Rourke, who has participated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the villain of "Iron Man 2", distributed some criticism against his co-workers. Two years ago, he did the same against Robert De Niro, whom he described as "whiny" and "a bastard" from his Instagram account.
Will "Top Gun: Maverick" have a sequel?
In "Top Gun: Maverick", the second part of the eighties film that starred Tom Cruise, actor Miles Teller gave life to pilot Bradley Bradshaw. And, apparently, he could repeat the dish, he hinted recently during a charity event.
The co-star of the film directed by Joseph Kosinski said that he is "having conversations" with the producer and star of the film, Tom Cruise, to film a third part of "Top Gun", after the second had a resounding success at the box office.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Miles Teller said that a sequel to "Top Gun: Maverick" would be "great." "But it all depends on [Tom Cruise]. It all depends on Tom. I've been having some conversations with him about it. We'll see," he said.
Teller's character Lt. Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw is the son of the late Nick 'Goose' Brashaw, who was Maverick's (Tom Cruise) best friend in the original 1986 film.
