Los Angeles, Jan 1 (NationPress) The iconic Hollywood star Tom Cruise is not just a remarkable actor but also a true film enthusiast. He boasts the ability to recall every character's dialogue in his films.

The legendary actor, known for his role in 'Top Gun', has collaborated with Cameron Crowe on two occasions, namely 'Jerry Maguire' and 'Vanilla Sky'. The 68-year-old director described working with Cruise as a delightful experience, attributing it to the actor's willingness to trust his director and explore various creative avenues, as reported by 'Female First UK'.

Cameron shared with Uncut magazine, “Tom Cruise is not a director, and he will tell you that. And that is why he puts a lot of trust in the people directing him.”

“I found it to be a breeze, and an inspiring breeze at that. He is a blast to direct. He will say no to nothing, he will try all kinds of stuff. He knows everybody’s job, he knows every character’s lines, he’s there for everybody. So he has committed filmmakers in his wake, for good reason. He makes it fun,” he further remarked.

According to ‘Female First UK’, Cameron commended Tom for the vibrant energy he brings to the set, largely due to his passion for music.

He mentioned, “He acts to music – he’ll put on (Radiohead’s) OK Computer and do the scene. He’s a big fan of music. The music in the 'Vanilla Sky' soundtrack was music we all loved, and the actors acted to. I feel something different when the music is going, and it really has made the scenes better as a result.”

However, not every actor shares the same enthusiasm for music during filming. Cameron recounted, “The one person who said, ‘Don’t play music during my take?’ was Philip Seymour Hoffman. The first day working with him, I put on 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' in the middle of his take, because I assumed, ‘Oh, everybody is into this’.”

“He said, ‘Cut! What makes you think the music you’re playing is better than the music I’m hearing in my head?’. I replied, ‘Nothing, you’ll never hear music again’,” he concluded.
