The director Neil Jordan was on an Irish chat show last night (the Tommy Tiernan show) and spoke a bit about Tom Cruise.Did anyone else see Tom Cruise on Graham Norton last night? He seriously gives me the creeps. He is always so nice and personable and polite and listens to everything the other guests say, but it never seems genuine to me. I remember Michael Parkinson saying how expected him to be a ‘prat’ but he was really nice to everyone on the show, not just him. But it still feels fake. He’s like a robot who’s programed to be a ‘nice guy’ but isn’t really if that makes sense?
Just for some context this chat show isn't the usual format. They say that the host, Tommy Tiernan, has no idea who's coming on until they actually come on! So the interviews (more like chats) are unscripted. The people who come on might be really well known or not as well known.
I've just pasted a link to what the indo wrote of that particular interview today.
