Tom Cruise is the ultimate showman, as evidenced by the myriad of death-defying stunts that he has done for the Mission: Impossible franchise and beyond, all for the audience’s enjoyment. But he also may be one of the better promoters of movies we have right now, always willing to praise the work of others (like the Oppenheimer and Barbie double feature).
That continued even at the premiere of his own movie, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, on May 18 in New York. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Cruise quickly turned a question around about him being “the last movie star” to praise the work of many other talented actors, including specifically calling out Michael B. Jordan and his most recent movie, Sinners (I agree with Cruise, as I called Sinners the “first truly great movie of the year”).
