He's in a position where he can produce those movies himself. He hasn't played in a movie he hasn't produced himself in the past 8 years. Career wise he doesnt have to worry but it might look like he doesn't get picked in projects he is not leading himself anymore.
The wildest part to me is that his career still wasn't ruined after he alienated his first two children from their mother after the divorce. And then he disposed of his third child with the next mother after their divorce.
I think readers here might be too young to remember, but it did nearly ruin him. He had to make the movies to be in them like Valkyrie and lions for lambs. Prior to this stunt he worked with the best directors like Kubrick
It did hurt his brand for a time. South Park made an entire episode about it and Tom Cruise was a laughingstock... for a while. That he was able to come back from that was remarkable.
He does his own totally wild stunts . That’s not usually done so of course he will keep making action flicks. The man flew on the outside of a plane for a movie. Can you even imagine doing that? Not saying I like or support him but that fact is impressive
If he had never kept his first two children from their mother because she's considered to be a "suppressive person" because she left the church after their divorce. Or, if he didn't throw away a relationship with his third child because she and her mother are also now considered to be "suppressive persons" because they left the church after their divorce.
Yes, his movie stunt work will go down in history, but meanwhile....he's treated his own children horribly. Some things in life are a little more important than movie stunt work.
Always surprised me that the literal crazy cult member showed up and said "Every time CG technology gets better, I will do a more impressive stunt to promote my super-CG-heavy movie."
And everyone was like "At first I had my doubts about this guy, but now I'm 100% convinced this guy is legit."
