This conversation makes you realize how some actors are very serious about whatever role they are playing. Tom Cruise talking to Ron Kovic and spending time with him, shows how serious he is about his craft.
Somehow Tom was able to look like a teenager again at that time. In Rain Man he was looking older and then when he did ''Born on the fourth of July'' he looked 18.
Amazing that this interview was done before a single frame of this great movie was shot, because what they would end up turning out was a triumph, Tom totally deserved the Oscar for best actor , Ron spilled his guts out and Oliver put his whole heart into this beautiful film.
This whole interview is so heartwarming, Tom Cruise is a fairly big star, yet he forms a close connection with Ron Kovic, you get the feeling there a strong connection between them that is not solely based on the movies.
I don't care what 'people' say,I Love tom C. He's an Exceptionally normal and innately intelligent guy. I was an actor too,and he's (become) Brilliant! x M

Among famous people only Brad Pitt during 90s. Among people who are not famous I believe few thousands of men worldwide. I have personally seen in Montenegro few men more handsome than Tom or at the same level.
The only one I can think of is Elvis Presley but he was of another generation...No other country is as good as the US in recognizing talent and giving it the chance to flourish.
I was there at the set in Dallas. I went to the school in Dallas that was used for the set of the high school. My nephew looks a lot like Tom Cruise. And My wife got to speak to Oliver Stone when looking for items for the movie set. Tom is a fantastic actor. He reminds me so much of my nephew Johnny Bob. Peace all.
Absolutely one of my favorite movies. My father went to Vietnam and he struggled with many things after the war. I've seen first hand what many veterans went through . Alcoholism, drug abuse, nightmares the veterans administration flash backs. Many veterans suffered so much after coming home. Tom Cruise did a outstanding job representing veterans in this film.
Semper Fi! I served in the Marine Corps and Army for 10 years collectively as a military policeman. 4 in the Corps and 6 in the Army. I’m a disabled OEF veteran. I so much appreciate Ron’s story because it is the quintessential Marine Corps Vietnam veteran story of the Vietnam War. Thank you Tom and Oliver for taking the time to make this movie and shedding light on the imperfections in our country and our government. God bless you and I still watch the film from time to time and the VA is still a pain in the ass for veterans.
Always remember that China Donnie called patriots like Ron Kovic and John McCain "losers and suckers" --- think about that carefully the next time you go into a voting booth

I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you for posting. I found this informative and fascinating and not to mention impressive. What an eye-opener on the process of making a movie. It’s admirable to see how hard all of these people work. It’s also so very sad to see how our world gets carried away with the news and creating stories because watching Tom here he just seems like a good kid who was laser focused and extremely passionate about making movies and he takes it seriously and he gives his all and I just don’t get it…. why people say the things that they say and why people believe it?? I think people are very naïve and ignorant and it’s unfortunate
Or maybe it's not stupid for you but he's a very attractive guy and so women love him that aren't lesbians and men want to be him because then they can get all the women it's that simple I'm not trying to patronise you but you're also asking a very stupid question
I'm not into multicolored rainbow carrying transgender women but even if I see one that's very beautiful I can even say wow she looks beautiful you know what I mean it's not that hard to see. I think you just being a difficult ass just to be one when you know exactly why anyway good luck with that lifestyle a stroke and heart attack will probably quickly follow with that kind of attitude but eustress should let go of that kind of attitude and just stop being an ass just to be one

I loved Tom Cruise back then. He was a little different before he became a super star. He too was born on the 4th or perhaps the 3rd. Oliver Stone picked him, because he thought he could identify with Ron, some of the same backgrounds etc.

It's about the look you have in your eyes. Naive look = looks younger. Cynical and jaded look = looks older. Actors can change this
It was the hair and suit in rain man that made him seem older. It’s also why Brad Pitt looked older in meet Joe black (1998) than in fight club (1999)

Not only is Tom a tremendous actor but also have you noticed he's Hot
What an incredible film. Tom Cruise's best work as an actor in my opinion.

It's the inside that counts tom is beautiful from the inside
His face hasn't changed
1988 somewhere between july and october is the date of this press conference
Superb heartbreaking film. Great press conference. Love how close Ron and Tom have obviously become! Tom is so deep and darling.
I once saw an interview of Tom saying he’s the one who started and invented the idea of film premiers and press conferences, now I believe him.
That's rubbish. Just Google Marilyn Monroe film premiere or press conference and you will see
Foreign premieres you mean
Foreign premieres, Tom said, as mobile junkets to different countries, you mean, he did indeed pioneer that development in the late eighties.
He's 28 here but could easily pass as a 21 year old wtf
me too... baby face genes...
Technically I think he's 27 here
27 actually
I legit thought he was 20 or something lmao
@@janolaivar: 26 actually. This was 1988 before any filming was done. Tom was born July 3rd, 1962.The movie( superb ) came out December ,1989.😊
Tom was SO HOT!!!
Tom was breaking up with Mimi Rogers and I believe falling in love with Nicole Kidman during late 1989. Very handsome guy and great actor.
Mimi is the evil witch who turned him onto Scientology

Wall Street was amazing,one of the best movies ever ! Oliver is a great talent!
Don't forget a decorated combat veitnam veteran.
Love this movie
Amazing performance by Tom Cruise - he should have won the OSCAR
This was great. Thank you
La mejor actuación de Tom Cruise, le robaron el Oscar... His best performance.
Daniel Day Lewis usurped the trophy from him
Completamente de acuerdo le robaron el Oscar fue una actuación qué me dejo estupefacto y solo tenia 12 años cuando la vi.
I'm still shook that he didn't get an oscar
I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you for posting.

*_0:02_**_ "Why don't you sit here?"_*
*_This dude..._*
He is the Director..
If I was part of that press I would ask both Stone and Kovic if they could relate to each other's situation as Vietnam Veterans
I LOVE OLIVER
Beautifull 💫 Tom
Tom was awesome it's great seeing him in early chocolate boy days 🥰❤
great movie
I LOVE THE MICROPHONES
I LOVE RON
Tom was really endearing back then, quite humble, and introspective. I think he changed as he became more of a superstar.
❤❤❤❤
So young

Super está Tom Crus.
AMAZING MOVIE TOM=KING
😮😮❤😮❤😮❤❤
Why are all the comments
I LOVE .......
Could be Scientologists. They are admonished to support Tom. Whether by making positive comments and/or buying tickets to his movies.
Why are all the comments ??? What are
You talking about ?

Back before tabloids took over his career
Tom Cruise should now start play the old man characters too
Jesus loves you so much guys ❤
Che bello Nato il 4 luglio,super drama ma molto bello e recitato da Dio
This was before they shot the movie?!?
Yes. They started shooting a few days after this press conference.
Amazing!! One of the only press conferences I have ever seen with someone announcing that Tom got paid 3 million dollars for Rainman
Kama Sushi on looking for your page he's actually 60 years old now but he doesn't he looks 20 years younger
An excellent film. The music, by John Williams, destroys me.
The amount they focused on shooting in Dallas was stupid.
I LOVE ALEXANDER KITMAN HO.
What Tom Cruise really wanted to say 28:18
He has lucky DNA
18:15 I think Tom is very uncomfortable being touched
And So are You
Wow! I played it back and goodness. That was obvious; i wonder why? Just shy? I've heard that he really is
I don't think so. he is cancer sign and they are very emotional and makes them vulnerable in situations you might don't want to be.
It was the 80s. Anyone old enough to remember knows that people didn't touch each other in a non-sexual way.. nearly as much as they do today.
it's horrible being touoched
No
Never this
