Tom Cruise was respected by Michael Mann who compared him to Keanu Reeves and Hollywood's OG tough guy, Lee Marvin.
Joe Rogan – Is Steven Seagal Legit?
Tom Cruise – the man who has proven time and time again that age is nothing but a number. No one will look at him and say he is sixty-two! Just look at the stunts he did in Top Gun: Maverick and recently Mission: Impossible. When the talk is about going all out for stunts and turning the intensity to 'reckless', you just can't leave the ever-charming superstar out of it.
Sure, there are other actors out there who do their own stunts, including Keanu Reeves, but there's just something about Tom Cruise that sets him apart from the rest. Michael Mann, who directed the actor in Collateral (2004), fully agrees with the previous statement. In fact, he even compared Tom Cruise's gun prowess to Keanu Reeves and declared the former the winner.
Never would we have ever imagined a blonde Tom Cruise playing the villain in a movie and looking so charming doing it. Well, we could probably have imagined the latter. As for the rest, director Michael Mann was able to do it to perfection in Collateral.
