Mickey Rourke never plays Tom Cruise's wingman.
The Wrestler actor, Mickey Rourke, 69, opened up in a talk show.
The host Morgan asked Rourke to give his honest opinion about Cruise's recent billion dollar box office success with Top Gun: Maverick.
Rourke said,
"That doesn't mean s*** to me, The guy's been doing the same effing part for 35 years, ya know? I've got no respect for that."
"I don't care about money and power. I care about when I watch Al Pacino work and Chris Walken and [Robert] De Niro's early work and Richard Harris's work and Ray Winstone's work. That’s the kind of actor I want to be like. Like Monty Clift and [Marlon] Brando back in the day. A lot of guys who tried to stretch as actors."
Morgan asked,
"You don't think Tom Cruise is a good actor?"
Rourke said,
"I think he's irrelevant in my world,"
"The guy's been doing the same effing part for 35 years... I got no respect for that."
