Tom Cruise is definitely not an actor like the others. He contractually requires 50 strings for each film. The explanation is simple…
Stars can have crazy demands on film sets. And when you’re an actor doing some of the most dangerous stunts, like jumping on a mid-air plane or scaling Dubai’s skyscrapers, you usually get what you want. It would seem in any case that this is the case of Tom Cruise, who would have an astonishing request before shooting his scenes, and in particular his action sequences, according to the rumor which circulates in Hollywood.
We know: Tom Cruise is one of the most demanding actors. When “Top Gun: Maverick” was released, for example, the list of conditions was widely commented on. The star demanded that the scenes be as real as possible, without using computer-generated images. As a producer, he also required all actors playing pilots to take three-month flying lessons, to limit the use of stunt doubles. It was Tom Cruise who also demanded the presence of Val Kilmer in the casting.
But there are some requests that are really out of the ordinary. THE Daily Star claimed in 2014 that the lead actor in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise didn’t want to be distracted or restricted in his movement while filming dangerous stunts. To overcome this risk, the 61-year-old American actor would ask the costume managers on the film sets to provide him with around fifty strings made of stretchy material. Essential equipment according to him for its performance and safety!
According to the anonymous source who spoke to the English-speaking media, “he was initially embarrassed to make such a request, but he does it to improve his flexibility as he gets older.” But why 50 strings? Quite simply because, Tom Cruise would prefer to wear a new one for every take. “He sees it as dedication to his art,” adds the Daily Star. In any case, that doesn’t seem to stop him from performing ever crazier stunts, on the contrary. As evidenced by the latest “Mission: Impossible” released in cinemas on July 12, 2023.
