\n\t\u201cShe goes, \u2018There\u2019s Dustin Hoffman.\u2019 I looked up and there he was, in a hat \u2014 he was doing \u2018Death of a Salesman\u2019 \u2014 and he was ordering takeout,\u201d Cruise mentioned. \u201cShe goes, \u2018You go over there and say hello to him.\u2019 I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not going to say hello.\u2019 She goes, \u2018You know him, you know his movies.\u2019 And she doesn\u2019t do stuff like that. And I don\u2019t walk up to people, but she was so pushy.\u201d<\/p>\n
