But for those who\u2019re Tom Cruise, it\u2019s simply one other day. Add to {that a} balding head and a ferocious blanket of chest hair and it\u2019s supremely simple. And that\u2019s simply what he did in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/ben-stiller-doubts-tropic-thunder-could-get-made-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2008\u2019s <em>Tropic Thunder<\/em><\/a>, enjoying vulgar studio exec Les Grossman. Now, he desires one other likelihood to convey again the instantly iconic character.<\/p>\n<p>Recently showing on the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KNmwfjEvXiw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Happy Sad Confused<\/a><\/em> podcast, Christopher McQuarrie mentioned that he and Tom Cruise have had conversations about bringing Les Grossman again. And whereas McQuarrie had nothing to do with <em>Tropic Thunder<\/em>, he\u2019s conscious that he and Cruise collectively may guarantee it will get achieved. <mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u201cThe conversations we\u2019ve had about Les Grossman are so f*cking funny. [Cruise and I are] talking about it, we\u2019re having very serious conversations about it, and how best to do it. It ultimately comes down to what that character is.\u201d<\/mark><\/p>\n<p>But first, take a giant step again\u2026McQuarrie and Cruise have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/tom-cruise-les-grossman-movie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">toying with the concept<\/a> of a Les Grossman film for years now; but, nothing has come of it. Sure, the blokes have been just a little busy with some motion franchises you could have heard of, however the concept simply doesn\u2019t sound all that promising. Indeed, the way in which McQuarrie talks about it sounds prefer it was simply one thing that helped cool the heads after intense taking pictures days on <em>Mission: Impossible \u2013 The Final Reckoning<\/em>. As McQuarrie put it, <mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u201cWe don\u2019t even think about the structure, we play with scenes. Just to be sitting at a breakfast table, not talking about the movie we\u2019re making for a minute, is such decompression. And just riffing with Tom playing Les Grossman at the table, it was one of the real joys of making this movie. It was all the stuff we were doing, planning the future while slugging out the present.\u201d<\/mark><\/p>\n<p>While RDJ earned probably the most consideration and reward for <em>Tropic Thunder<\/em>, Tom Cruise was a runaway standout as Les Grossman, even nabbing a Golden Globe nomination within the supporting class.<\/p>\n<p>What do you assume?
