Tom Cruise might have a lot of fans, but Mickey Rourke is certainly not one of them, and he’s recently made his feelings about Cruise very clear…
Rourke did not hold back in his latest interview…
And people are shocked by what he had to say.
Have a look for yourselves…
Now, Tom Cruise is an A-list celebrity whose always had an element of mystery…
His disingenuous persona in interviews alongside the oddly secretive nature of his private life has led many to believe that all is not what it seems with the celebrated actor.
There’s been a fair amount of speculation into his private life…
So much so, in fact, that it’s turned into something of a full-blown conspiracy theory.
Many speculate that a lot of the weirdness in his life can be attributed to his religious beliefs…
And this also seems to have a big impact on Cruise’s weird romantic relationships.
First of all, we have Cruise’s first marriage to Mimi Rogers…
Rogers was 6 years Cruise’s senior and the pair often appeared to have little in the way of intimate connection. This led some to speculate that this was more of a marriage of convenience.
Then Cruise married Nicole Kidman…
He met Kidman on the set of Days of Thunder and the pair married just 10 months after his first divorce had been finalized.
Their marriage lasted a lot longer than his first…
Kidman and Cruise adopted 2 children, Connor and Isabella, during their eleven-year marriage.
However, in 2001 the pair seperated…
Just look at this photo — it seems almost as though Nicole Kidman is a shell of her former self. She looks exhausted and empty. Life with Cruise sure doesn’t look easy.
After their split, The Church of Scientology knuckled down with finding the actor a new love interest…
And there are even claims that the whole thing was like an audition. Girls were allegedly shipped in and tested for their qualifications to be a good Scientologist partner for Cruise.
And after searching far and wide…
It was the young and aspiring actress, Katie Holmes that fit the bill.
They seemed to hit it off right from the start…
But some noticed the same odd body language that Cruise had previously displayed with his ex-wives.
Then just 7 months after the pair revealed that they were dating, they proudly displayed Katie’s baby bump.
Of course, there are those who believe that Holmes was pregnant before Cruise came into her life — but, again, that’s another story.
Then baby Suri came into their lives…
Much of her birth story was kept a secret, but there was that famous Vanity Fair cover shot by Annie Leibovitz. Details that were leaked (such as Holmes reportedly having to remain totally silent throughout the labor) were as weird as the world expected.
But it wasn’t long before things started to go down hill…
In fact, Holmes apparently blindsided Cruise by filing for divorce from the actor in 2012, just 5 years after tying the knot.
As we know, Cruise is known for being mysterious and downright strange sometimes…
And although he has a lot of fans that respect his acting career, there are many others that dislike him.
What you might not have known is that one of those people is wrestler Mickey Rourke.
On Monday, Rourke opened up about his dislike for Cruise on Piers Morgan Uncensored, branding him “irrelevant.”
His comments came in response to Morgan asking for his thoughts on Cruise’s recent movie Top Gun: Maverick.
Responding to the fact it has topped box office charts, he said: “That doesn’t mean s*** to me. I don’t care about money and power, I care about when I watch Al Pacino work and Chris Walken and De Niro’s early work and Richard Harris’s work and Ray Winstone’s work.”
“That’s the kind of actor I want to be like. Monty Clift and Brando back in the day,” he added.
Morgan then asked: “You don’t think Tom Cruise is a good actor?”
“I think he’s irrelevant, in my world,” Rourke replied.
And Twitter users have been sharing their thoughts on his comments, one wrote: “I kind of agree. (I’m agreeing with MICKEY ROURKE?) Cruise is always the hero saving the day. Always the brave macho. He never stretches himself too far.”
Another commented: “Mickey… baby… WTF Happened to You? You were actually cool back in the day when you were relevant, meanwhile, Tom Cruise is making blockbusters like TopGun2 that has literally pulled in over a billion dollars…”
