Let's go, guys ready.

So can tom cruise really sing.

Uh well yeah, I mean I did all my singing in rock of Ages.
-
So yes, I sing.
-
I've seen him do it.
-
Can tom cruise rock climb.
-
Yes, I trained for a long time.
-
Uh many years actually with rock climbing.
-
Can tom cruise play guitar.
-
I love playing guitar and the UKe definitely need more practice.
-
But I enjoyed playing guitar.
-
Can tom cruise fly a plane.
-
Yes, yes.
-
I fly airplanes.
-
I'm a multi engine instrument rated commercial pilot.
-
Doug and I are both aviators.
-
So we both loved to fly.
-
Can Tom Cruise hold his breath for six minutes.
-
Yes, I can hold my breath for six minutes.
-
Uh, you were there when I was doing it, you were in the tank and leaves it in London.
-
You swim back and forth in the bottom of the tank like four or five laps.
-
I was wild and I'd be up on the surface with goggles watching him.
-
I wasn't even working on the movie.
-
I just wanted to watch tom cruise.
-
Hold his breath for six minutes.
-
Can tom cruise fly a helicopter?
-
Yes, again, I fly a helicopter.
-
I fly acrobatics in that.
-
And commercially rated helicopter pilot.
-
I was in a helicopter with you the first time you were really learning to fly training.
-
Yeah, that was, that was, you've come a long way.
-
So I trained very hard.
-
That why our pilots seats furry.
-
Uh, maybe, I don't know, you sit for a long time and get sweaty, but tom cruise of course does not sweat.
-
This one's really why do pilots usually fly in the stratosphere?
-
Aerobatic pilots don't necessarily know the american made flying was low.
-
I mean you're always like a few feet over the treetops or a few feet over the water so that sometimes actually going through the trees.
-
Why are pilots called pilots?
-
Uh You got all the questions that you're smart.
-
Come on.
-
Get these questions like stratosphere.
-
I mean like nautical.
-
Okay, okay, I'll go for that.
-
Why pilots can't be colorblind?
-
She's like seriously?
-
Like this thing is rigged.
-
That's just naval Air force.
-
You know, military pilots, I think uh well there's one thing you lose already communication.
-
They have to flash a light gun from the control tower and green means land and red means don't land.
-
So maybe there why do pilots say nine or I can answer this one?
-
Because over the radio it can be hard to sort of understand.
-
You say nine are instead of nine so that it wouldn't be confused with a different number.
-
What number would that be confused with?
-
Nine?
-
Like 123456789 Why don't we, why don't we say Ator or one or two or I actually think I was right.
-
I was sounding smart until you challenged me there.
-
Why is Tom Cruise always running?
-
I'm usually in a big hurry to get places lots to do in the day.
-
Why is Tom Cruise always named Jack?
-
Because it's easy for me to remember and for others to remember the name.
-
Jack.
-
So makes it easier for the crew and the director.
-
Why did Tom Cruise become an actor?
-
I just love movies and I wanted to make movies And I remember as a kid, I used to create characters and write skits and I always kind of did outrageous physical stunts.
-
Also only imagine I'd like to bend your mother.
-
I feel.
-
I mean just look out the window while you're doing the dishes and there's your seven year old son like trying a stunt and breaking an arm or a leg.
-
Yes.
-
You were injuring yourself all the time.
-
My mother.
-
Uh, most definitely had incredible patients.
-
Did tom cruise really hang off the plane?
-
Yes, I did hang off the A 400.
-
And remember the second take actually when we went through and I got hit with just a little little rock.
-
I mean it must have been about that big and I honestly it was like getting hit by a bullet.
-
But the thing I was most concerned about was a fuel, you know, the fumes from that in the air that was hitting me particularly on the when we were taxiing on the runway because it had nowhere else to go.
-
Was quite an adventure.
-
Don't necessarily recommend it for everyone, you know, who's interesting, our action movies realistic.
-
Yeah, I think they are.
-
I mean, that's really the challenge of making a great action film is to find the honesty at it.
-
Are action movies good for a date.
-
Yeah, they're great for a date.
-
Are action movies scary can be I mean, I think that's a visceral uh ride you get you know, actually, I mean, that's that's probably like tom and I probably love making action movies when you really hit it.
-
You can you can turn it into comedy, you can twist it into interesting drama.
-
How action movies are made, made action isn't anything unless you really have the story and the investment in character.
-
And the thing that I love about Doug liman in his movies is the interest first and foremost in character.
-
And when you have tom cruise in your movie, you're going to know you're going to get something incredible and it's going to be real.
-
That's what we try.
-
We just want to entertain you.
-
That really is the purpose.
-
So, you know, we we hope you enjoy it.
