I have Tom Cruise and I'm Doug Liman and we're doing a wired autocomplete interview let's go guys ready so can Tom Cruise really sing uh uh well yeah I mean I did all my singing in Rock of Ages so yes I sing I've seen him do it Kent Tom Cruise rock climb yes I trained for a long time many years actually with rock climbing Ken Tom Cruise play guitar I love playing guitar and the uke I definitely need more practice but I enjoy playing guitar ken Tom Cruise fly a plane yes yes I fly airplanes
I'm a multi-engine instrument-rated commercial pilot Doug and I are both aviators so we both love to fly ken Tom Cruise hold his breath for six minutes yes I can hold my breath for six minutes you were there when I was doing it you were in the tank and in leaves it in London you'd swim back and forth in the bottom of the tank like four or five laps as well and I'd be up on the surface with goggles watching him I wasn't even working on the movie I just wanted to watch Tom Cruise hold his
breath for six minutes Kent Tom Cruise fly a helicopter yes again I fly a helicopter I fly aerobatics in that and commercially rated and helicopter pilots I was in a helicopter if you were the first time you were really learning to fly yeah that was that was you've come a long way of saying I trained very hard dad why are pilots seats furry mine aren't maybe I don't know you sit for a long time and you get sweaty but Tom Cruise of course does not sweat this one's really why do pilots usually fly in the
stratosphere well aerobatic pilots don't necessarily ya know the american-made flying was was low I mean you're always like a few feet over the treetops or a few feet over the water so then sometimes actually going through the trees why our pilots called pilots ah you got all these smart come on these questions like stratosphere I mean like nautical why pilots can't be colorblind she's like seriously laughs this thing is right that's just Naval Air Force you know military pilots I think well there's one thing you lose already communication they have to flash a light gun
from the control tower and green means land and red means don't Lancer maybe there why do pilots say Niner I can answer this one go cuz over the radio it can be hard to sort of understand you say nine or instead of nine so that it wouldn't be confused with a different number and what number would that be confused with nine like one two three four five six seven eight nine when we why don't we say aider for one or two her I actually think I was right I was sounding smart until you challenged me
there why is Tom Cruise always running I'm usually in a big hurry to get places lots to do in the day why is Tom Cruise always named Jack because it's easy for me to remember and for others to remember the name Jack so makes it easier for the crew and the director why did Tom Cruise become an actor I just love movies and I wanted to make movies and I remember as a kid I used to create characters and write skits and I always kind of did outrageous physical stunts also you only imagined would like
to bend your mother I feel I mean just look out the window while you're doing the dishes and there's your seven-year-old son like trying a stunt and breaking an arm or a leg is yes you were injuring yourself all the time my mother most definitely had incredible patience did Tom Cruise really hang off the plane yes I did hang off the a 400 I remember the second take actually when we went through it I got hit with just a little little rock I mean it must have been about that big and I honestly was like
getting hit by a bullet but the thing I was most concerned about was a fuel you know the fumes from that in the air that was hitting me particularly on them when we were taxing on the runway because it had nowhere else to go it's quite an adventure don't necessarily recommend it for everyone you know who's interesting our action movies realistic yeah I think they are I mean that's really the challenge of making a great action film is to find the honesty at it our action movies good for a date yeah they're great for a
doubt our action will be scary can be I mean I think that's a visceral ride you get you know what it actually mean that's that's probably like Tom and I probably love make you know when you really hit it you can you can turn it into comedy you can twist it into interesting drama how actual movies are made I made action isn't anything unless you really have the story and the investment in character and the thing that I love about Doug Liman in his movies is the interest first and foremost in character and when you
have Tom Cruise in your movie it's you're gonna know you're gonna get something incredible and it's it's gonna be real that's where you try we just want to entertain you that really is the purpose so you know we we hope you enjoyed
