Tropic Thunder one of the best comedy movie of all time and the cast is phenomenal, if Heath Ledger wasn't nominated back then RDJ would have an Oscar by now.

@@silent_fungus I've never even heard of it, but I've been curious about other roles he might've had that were good. Example of one thing you really loved about it?
Les Grossman was by far Tom's best ever character purely because it took this guy we all knew as one of the best, serious actors of his generation and put him into a surreal comedy character and he utterly killed it. Of course he did.
Cruise is and has been one of the rare actors who can go to any extent to make the character authentic. It is the preparation that makes the finished product so enjoyable.
No doubt So nice to see Cruise re-enacting Les Grossman and have a part comedic place in film that reaches many more movie fans and have those lines that caught on Cruise loves what he does
Is just that everyone in that movie were hilarious, even Nolte. It really sucks that Tropic Thunder is so underrated by the critics. Is one of the best comedy movie of this century.
@Vincent H. - Exactly, some of the best acting I've ever seen. I can't imagine how many shots they screwed up by not being able to keep a straight face.
Tom Cruise greatest role! Tropic thunder is one of those movies you don't expect much from, then you watch it and it's one of the best things you've ever experienced, we were all dying of laughter in the theater and for few days after 😂
I think Tom Cruise, regardless of what you think about some of his personal choices, has become an American icon in the film industry. His sci-fi and action films are usually top notch.
There hasn't been a movie with him where he didn't completely smash it. Some of the movies might not be all that great but his performances are always worth watching them.... even that Mummy film he did. Live/Die/Repeat or Edge of Tomorrow (whatever you prefer) is one of my absolute favorite films of all time.
Robert Downey Jr. played black face so very well. Too bad it wouldn’t happen today. Comedy should be bigger than peoples then scan and getting all offended all the time.
I feel like Tom is living ten lifetimes. He’s so dedicated to everything he does. It’s amazing to see. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves as an actor, he sort of exists in his own space. Love his energy and positivity about everything where as I can barely push myself to get out of bed.
I've always wondered what he does on his down time (for real, he's my sort of real-life scapegoat, like if I'm shoveling the snowy driveway, I'll think to myself, "I bet Tom Cruise doesn't have to do this") and here he says it: He takes classes. He's always learning. What a great little inspirational message that I don't see anyone really commenting about.
I was the only person in the theater laugh so hard when Les Grossman asked who was the key grip 😂. I totally understood what was about to happen. Tropic Thunder is one of the best and funniest movies ever!!
Downey played an Australian who played an African American. It was a comedy, it was a movie, and it was fantastic. He played a black guy better than most black guys.
Cruise joyfully indulges in every facet of his craft. Creating characters is pure fun for him. He studies everything on the set, everything about movie making, everything about the subject of the film.
Steven Nieto that was one movie i wished it didnt end the way it did. They should of made a few more movies of that character. He was almost like John Wick before Wick was a thing.
I would just like to see him step back away from the blockbusters and do some real acting again. He's actually a really good actor. Be good to see him step away from the franchises a bit.
As much as i have loved Tom's performances over the years, Les is the best character he has portraied to date imo. just was everything that the movie needed him to be.
I didn't realize that was Tom until the credits started rolling when I first watched it. Was amazed that hed do that. Maybe a little crazy with the scientology but an amazing entertainer and actor.
i already know he is a good actor before this. but yes. I didn't know it was him untill later in the movie. it's interesting that some handsome actors or beautiful actresses have to put ugly makeup on for people to focus on their acting and appreciate their talents instead of their looks. I guess it's human nature. but good choice by Tom Cruise.
all the characters played well. from the "We are FLAMING. DRAGON." to the punching guy, the veteran who is not all that badass as he thinks he is... just all around well written and played out characters.
This is exactly why i love tom cruise more than any other actor.. TC is an A-list actor, in the same level with leonardo dicaprio , brad pitt , Denzel washington etc... but these actors will never ever accept to play such a role as they consider it to be silly and not in their level but Tom did it and in the best way possible. That's why he's the coolest actor and one of a kind.
This was a role that Tom went away from so much of his previous work to present a character to the audience that was Massively larger than life. Mr. Cruise nailed this role.
Tom Cruise is a genius at spreading life in this character and making her special and memorable. I adore Tom for that and many other things. I love him so much.
My best friend and I have a tradition where every single time we have a bro weekend we watch Tropic Thunder 1-2 times. Over a decade we have seen it roughly 250-300 times. I can attest to the fact that it's still funny to this day, especially Les Grossman.
Been watching Tom Cruise in movies since Risky Business..I didn't know Les Grossman was him till the end of the movie... Definitely one of my favorite characters 😂
I'm sincerely happy to see Tom like this.. after all the bologna that his image has had this is something nice to see. That they're celebrating a character to a character. Looks great, healthy, sounds good. Good to see Top Gun. Good vibes, good times. Good guy.
Tom Cruise is a remarkable actor. People get so caught up in the whole scientology thing that they can't see past that. He is a world class, all in actor.
eating sugar no papa UA-cam totally is standard to gauge someone’s approval!!! He’s only had hate and rumors for 20 years or more! 👌 45k likes wow!!! Guess he can sleep soundly now!!!
@@vb8428 except scientology is not a religion, it is a business. It actually requires you to pay HUGE sums of money to complete their courses and "ascend the ladder". If you don't have enough money you go to the SEA organization (basically slaverly, teenagers as young as 12 are taken away from their families + education), and you pretty much have no possession or skills, and have to sign a billion year contract. If you want to leave you will be interrogated, tortured, imprisoned, have your family turned against you. You won't see any other 'religion' doing that.
he's had work done... he used to have MASSIVE lines from smiling. i think it was for the mummy movie that he got laser resurfacing or phenol peel. one of the two.
I like him well enough as an actor and I do respect the insanity of him doing all of his own stunts... let’s just say the whole Scientology thing doesn’t help.
Because he chose his bs religion over his own daughter? She’s growing up without her father because he’d rather have electrodes sucking out bad energy than be in her life, I think that’s why
I think, he's just surprised. He pigeon-holed himself to a specific type, & when he "broke character", it probably threw him for a loop that he was accepted so much, as a vulgar character like that. It's my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ROLE of his. Same with RDJ. I like "Lincoln Osiris" WAY better than "Iron Man", & I LOVE the MCU films!
No we don't. Comedic relief characters just work in the context of whole movie, if you make a spin-off with just this character it goes downhill very fast. Remember the Timon and Pumba TV series? No? Ye because it sucked.
Tom was the bright spot of an otherwise dull movie for me. As much as I like watching Tom do Mission: Impossible, if I heard he was bringing Les back, I would see it in a heartbeat. I wish Tom would do more comedies.
Cruise is one of the best late night interviews. I read an article from one of these guys saying how grateful they are when he's on, because he always brings something new, and never mails it in. Pretty cool.
I didn’t realize it was Tom Cruise until the scene with Mathew McConaughey!!🤣. He was hilarious!!! One of the best and funniest movies!!! Thank goodness there are still talented people in this lifetime to make us laugh🤘🏻😅
The fact that he still remember his amazing Les Grossman role from about 10 years ago, still kept me thinking, when will Les Grossman gets his own movie??

That's why he's the coolest actor and one of a kind.
Did you watch Burn After Reading?
Dicaprio did, Django, Once upon a time in Hollywood. All silly
Awesome he asked for approval first before using his line.
Also Tropic Thunder took some edge off of Tom Cruise Scientology phase.
Who's here after Tom brought Les to the set of MI7?.. 2020 once in a lifetime
Your mother is.
That role was small but massive because of how well he portrayed that character. The movie was genius!
I’m not skipping over the fact that Tom Cruise took a hip-hop dance class for “fun”
Wasn't for fun, was to do a better performance.
@Bobby Boucher He did it for sex
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 Tom cruise doesn't have to do anything for sex.
@@flacidhouse350 Sex has to do stuff for Tom Cruise
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 Sex is out there right now washing his car collection.
They've been talking about doing a movie with that character forever
Tom has no release in 2019, he should've done Les Grossman, it wouldn't have taken much time, I've been waiting for it for ages.
I still want it. :(
is something actually happening or rumoured to be happening?
@@arshadkhuhawar1111 He's working on Top Gun.
It needs to happen
I love Tom. It's going to be interesting what characters he'll be playing as he get older.
Exactly!
hes already old
He appears to be a vampire
This was a role that Tom went away from so much of his previous work to present a character to the audience that was Massively larger than life. Mr. Cruise nailed this role.
He was funny AF in Tropic Thunder! I was rolling!! I did not expect to see him.
We need a Les Grossman stand alone movie or tv show
Tom Cruise is a genius at spreading life in this character and making her special and memorable. I adore Tom for that and many other things. I love him so much.
My best friend and I have a tradition where every single time we have a bro weekend we watch Tropic Thunder 1-2 times.
Over a decade we have seen it roughly 250-300 times. I can attest to the fact that it's still funny to this day, especially Les Grossman.
so you must be about 400 years old'
Actually he could be as young as 7-8 years old. That's how weekends work
no way dude@@daniellevitt
His best role by far. He was PERFECT lol. I didn't even know it was Tom Mappather at the time either
Tom seems like he's doing really well. Please give us Tropic Thunder 2!
Sadly RDJ is so expensive nowadays lol
They can't. I bet SO MANY PEOPLE WILL BE OFFENDED IF THEY MAKE A 2 LMAO
Well... You're getting Top Gun 2 now...
Les grossman movie please!
ItsTreesAndDen just like super troopers
Been watching Tom Cruise in movies since Risky Business..I didn't know Les Grossman was him till the end of the movie... Definitely one of my favorite characters 😂
Les Grossman was one of Tom Cruise's best roles ever. God I love him. He's so cool!
I'm sincerely happy to see Tom like this.. after all the bologna that his image has had this is something nice to see. That they're celebrating a character to a character. Looks great, healthy, sounds good. Good to see Top Gun. Good vibes, good times. Good guy.
ΤHIS MASTERPIECE NEEDS A SEQUEL . THE BEST COMEDY IVE EVER WATCHED. LOVED THEM ALL.
Tropic Thunder is and will always be one of the greatest American comedy movie of all time
Tropic Thunder is more hilarious than the movie. ' The Grizzly Man.
@@ananthakrishnanvj5090 saw it many times and enjoyed it and it was very good but not as funny as Tropic Thunder.
Tom Cruise is a remarkable actor. People get so caught up in the whole scientology thing that they can't see past that. He is a world class, all in actor.
Hate all ya want but respect this mans talent.
He’s funny and likable.
The man does his homework and his own stunts. Respect.
eating sugar no papa UA-cam totally is standard to gauge someone’s approval!!! He’s only had hate and rumors for 20 years or more! 👌 45k likes wow!!! Guess he can sleep soundly now!!!
Funny, sure. Nothing about scientologists is likeable though.
Yip💯
we need the spinoff movie with Les Grossman as the main character, now!
I feel like Les is served better as a supporting character. Maybe a spin off with Les returning.
Tom Cruise is totally likable, despite the weird Scientology crap.
Dude even moved to Clearwater the mothership of Scientology
Most religions are cults
All religions are one, in every woman there is a man. One of us now, one of us now!
@@vb8428 except scientology is not a religion, it is a business. It actually requires you to pay HUGE sums of money to complete their courses and "ascend the ladder". If you don't have enough money you go to the SEA organization (basically slaverly, teenagers as young as 12 are taken away from their families + education), and you pretty much have no possession or skills, and have to sign a billion year contract. If you want to leave you will be interrogated, tortured, imprisoned, have your family turned against you. You won't see any other 'religion' doing that.
What is scientology?
When I first watched the movie I didn't know it was Tom until the credits.
Same here. And same with Robert Downey Jr. :D
3:11 "crushing pepsi cans" man he really did take those dancing lessons cuz these are real moves with real funny names.
He's gonna be greatest looking 60 yr in History! #goals 👩
he's had work done...
he used to have MASSIVE lines from smiling.
i think it was for the mummy movie that he got laser resurfacing or phenol peel.
one of the two.
I definitely Googled his age while watching. Dude is 57. My Dad is 63 and looks 20 years older than Tom.
@@basteagui why do you know this
@@MagnumJohnson face injury. been looking into treatments.
You got money you can be young for a long time. Best drs and treatment money can buy no doubt
Finally! I’ve always wanted to see Tom Cruise as a regular guest on Conan! 👌
How can you not like Tom Cruise. So talented and down to earth.
Down to earth, except the part about the space alien religion.
I like him well enough as an actor and I do respect the insanity of him doing all of his own stunts... let’s just say the whole Scientology thing doesn’t help.
Thats not what I heard. I heard he was a jerk to military when they filmed Maverick
Because he chose his bs religion over his own daughter? She’s growing up without her father because he’d rather have electrodes sucking out bad energy than be in her life, I think that’s why
I don't think he knows how much people love his character
I think, he's just surprised. He pigeon-holed himself to a specific type, & when he "broke character", it probably threw him for a loop that he was accepted so much, as a vulgar character like that. It's my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ROLE of his. Same with RDJ. I like "Lincoln Osiris" WAY better than "Iron Man", & I LOVE the MCU films!
We need a grossman film ffs
No we don't. Comedic relief characters just work in the context of whole movie, if you make a spin-off with just this character it goes downhill very fast.
Remember the Timon and Pumba TV series? No? Ye because it sucked.
At least another Cameo
Im drunk but can u get my drift thru the spellin mistakes
i like you
B20C0 in movies everything is possible. It depends on how you do it
Tom was the bright spot of an otherwise dull movie for me.
As much as I like watching Tom do Mission: Impossible, if I heard he was bringing Les back, I would see it in a heartbeat.
I wish Tom would do more comedies.
Cruise is one of the best late night interviews. I read an article from one of these guys saying how grateful they are when he's on, because he always brings something new, and never mails it in. Pretty cool.
I didn’t realize it was Tom Cruise until the scene with Mathew McConaughey!!🤣. He was hilarious!!! One of the best and funniest movies!!! Thank goodness there are still talented people in this lifetime to make us laugh🤘🏻😅
The fact that he still remember his amazing Les Grossman role from about 10 years ago, still kept me thinking, when will Les Grossman gets his own movie??
I always felt like Tom had his "Say All the Right Things" hat on for other interviews but this time he seemed to really let loose.
TK W Conan brings out the best
Les Grossman deserves a whole spin-off movie or series dedicated to him.
