LA Fires and Showering at Natalie's
And like all the missiles are like all over the place, even though they're like precisely tied into place. And so we're watching Tom go through this thing with the director. It's just Tom in the water with like 4 security or 4 safety guys underwater. And it's so crazy 'cause like, he's figuring it out as he's, obviously they've planned for all these shots before, but him and the director are figuring out the actual movements there on the set of it. Like, it's not like the director's like, this is where you're going, this is where you're going. Tom's like, this is where I'm gonna be, and then I think it's better for me to turn this way towards you, and the director's like, okay, cool, cool, cool, so then I'll go this way. Like, they're figuring out, it's crazy 'cause like, you know, I film vlogs. So like, obviously there are bits where we're like, Okay, look here, Jason. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're filming a movie for a movie for like the big screen. Yeah. So I'm like, wow. It's like there's like you guys are talking to each other just like you're filming a home video, but you're filming a video for fucking IMAX, right? Like that people are going to watch in the movie theater. So it's like mind-blowing the level of communication. And then Tom comes out of the water. He's like undressing, like taking the wetsuit off and immediately going into talking about filmmaking. Like, this dude does not miss a beat, and it's so cool because he's talking to us, and as he's like talking to us, like, everything around him is working like clockwork. Like, somebody comes, puts a robe on him, and another person brings him his mug, and it's like— and doesn't stop talking, like, doesn't stop eye contact, and talks to us— this is gonna sound like I'm exaggerating— but for 2 hours. For 2 hours, just deadlocked and talking to us about film and about how— And this made me realize Tom Cruise can be born in the most random country, I don't know what a random country is, I don't wanna name a random country and offend countries. But imagine the most random, I'll say Slovakia. Tom Cruise can be born in Slovakia tomorrow and he would become Tom Cruise again. There is no mistake to why this man is who he is. Like he is, he's put here on this planet to make movies and that's it. He is so fucking meticulous, like surgical, and precise with how much he cares and loves for these films and how much effort he puts into them. I was fucking blown away. I've never seen— I've never been that impressed by an actor or singer in my entire life. Didn't he? Oh, yeah.
