Tom Cruise Says He ‘Expects a Lot’ on Set as He Opens up About Demanding Reputation ‘the Rumors Are True’

Cruise says he expects a lot from collaborators as he promotes Digger, following leaked audio that captured him dressing down crew members.

  • In a rare interview with the Magazine released today, Tom Cruise discussed his intense work ethic and upcoming role in the disaster satire 'Digger', directed by Alejandro Gonz.
  • Warner Bros will release the film in cinemas worldwide on October 2, featuring Cruise as an oil baron named Digger Rockwell who attempts to avert a self-inflicted environmental catastrophe.
  • Addressing his reputation, Cruise told the Magazine, "I work hard, and people that work with me, they know. I expect a lot, and I'm upfront about it," noting he expects 110%.
  • While internet theories suggested 'Digger' is secretly a musical, outlets like Variety have denied the claim via sources, clarifying the film is a disaster satire.
  • With 'Top Gun 3' and 'Days of Thunder 2' on the horizon, Cruise is not retiring anytime soon, maintaining his status as one of the last old-school action stars.
