Sir Michael Caine reveals ‘special’ Tom Cruise turned to him for Hollywood advice

Tom Cruise consulted Sir Michael Caine when he first started out in Hollywood, according to Sir Michael Caine.

The 91-year-old screen icon has revealed that around the time of the Hollywood star’s standout performance in 1981’s ‘ Risky Business’, the ‘ Mission Impossible ‘ star, 62, picked his brain on how to achieve longevity in the acting business. Caine bragged about how he always knew Cruise was going to have big things and that whatever he had told him didn’t cause him any harm.

He claimed that when I turned around, a young actor, who was very polite, was questioning how to avoid being just a flash in the pan. That was Tom, probably around the time of Risky Business.

” I can’t remember what I said, but it obviously didn’t do him any harm! He had something unique about him. He had a great attitude, this sense of poise. I find him to be one of the last true stars in movies, which is what interests me. Because of his presence in a movie, people will watch it. Morgan Freeman also possesses some of the starry qualities of Brad Pitt. Not like John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, or Cary Grant, there are so few of them today.

The pair have remained friends all these years later, and he was” very touched when his wife, Shakira, Lady Caine, 77, had Tom be a surprise guest at his 90th birthday last March. “He added:”]Shakira] arranged for Tom Cruise to come to my dinner at the River Cafe as a surprise. I was very touched. “

Caine has appeared in more than 160 movies over the course of his eight-decade career, but he stopped acting after last year’s “The Great Escaper” because he doesn’t want to play the “old man.” He told the BBC’s ‘ Today ‘ programme:” I keep saying I’m going to retire, well I am now, because I figured, I’ve had a picture which is – I played the lead and it’s got incredible reviews.

“The only parts I’m liable to get now are old men, 90-year-old men, and I thought well I might as well leave with all this. I’ve got wonderful reviews. What will I do to “break this”?

Tom Cruise reportedly startled a village full of people with his daring stunt in September. Members of the public looked up in alarm as Tom undertook daredevil stunts above Bicester, north Oxfordshire. A local shared video of a helicopter following the flight path while a plane was apparently filming all the airborne action while a local shared video of a helicopter hovering over the town.

Many users of the post claimed they were going to file a formal complaint against the Hollywood star, who is renowned for his daring stunts, and made fun of the noise in the comments section. So I now have someone to contact if they are concerned about low flying over my property! I demand a tuxedo, flowery in person apology.

Another wrote, “This morning, the biplane and helicopter are moving over Arncott.” And a further film fan typed: “Saw it this morning over ambrosden,wondered what was going on”. And it seemed the stunt ended up crossing counties, as another fan wrote: “They made it all the way to Buckingham today, two biplanes and a helicopter”.
