Thandie Newton Recalls What It Was Really Like Working With 'Dominant' Tom Cruise
"I was so scared of Tom. He was a very dominant individual. He tries superhard to be a nice person," she claimed. "But the pressure. He takes on a lot. And I think he has this sense that only he can do everything as best as it can be done."
Thandie went on to describe an evening where the duo was filming a night scene together. According to the actress, "Tom was not happy with what I was doing because I had the s--ttiest lines." "We filmed the entire scene with me being him—because, believe me, I knew the lines by then—and him playing me. And it was the most unhelpful…I can't think of anything less revealing," she continued. "It just pushed me further into a place of terror and insecurity. It was a real shame. And bless him. And I really do mean bless him, because he was trying his damnedest."
