Mickey Rourke accuses Tom Cruise of being “irrelevant” and that “he’s been doing the same role for 35 years”

With ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ still establishing itself as one of the biggest cinematic phenomena of recent years and having passed the billion-dollar grossing mark, it seems Tom Cruise isn’t running out of critics. Controversial actor Mickey Rourke (‘The Fighter’, ‘Iron Man 2’, ‘The Expendables’) accused the ‘Mission Impossible’ star by saying this “He’s been playing the same role for 35 years” and what is an actor “irrelevant”a bit dubious considering that the sequel to ‘Top Gun’ already touches the list of the 10 highest-grossing films of all time in the US market.

He did this in Piers Morgan Uncensored, where he recently appeared. “This doesn’t mean shit to me”Rourke said when asked about the success of “Top Gun: Maverick”. “He played the same role for 35 years. I don’t respect him. I don’t care about money or power. I’m interested when, for example, I see Al Pacino or Christopher Walken at work, or Robert De Niro, Richard Harris or Ray Winstone. This is the kind of actor I want to be like. People who tried to spread as actors “. According to Rourke, Cruise hasn’t tried to innovate in her roles in the past three decades. After being asked if he is a good actor, Rourke replied curtly with a “I think it’s irrelevant”.

“The boy has been doing the same part of effing for 35 years … I have no respect for that.”

Rourke, who achieved success in 1986 (the year “Top Gun. Idols of the air” was released) with “Nine and a Half Weeks”, sent Tom Cruise and now It remains to be seen whether the Hollywood star of the year will respond to the poison dart or if, on the contrary, he prefers to get involved in the last two installments of ‘Mission Impossible’..

Do“Top Gun 3”?

The current industry would not be able to ignore the huge success of “Top Gun: Maverick” and let it pass as if nothing had happened. “Top Gun 3” could become a reality if we look to Paramount’s interest in pocketing only half of what this sequel has collected. Even if it’s not official yet. Miles Teller (who played Goose’s son in this second part) has already revealed that he is in talks with Cruise to make a third installment.but it looks like the veteran actor wants to say goodbye to his character Ethan Hunt.
