Michael Cera Says Tom Cruise Once Called Him Out For 'Talking During A F**cking Take'
HuffPost
The "Superbad" star filmed a short sketch with Cruise for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.
Michael Cera says he was once told to pipe down on set — by none other than Tom Cruise.
The “Superbad” star sat down on “The Louis Theroux Podcast” earlier this week to promote his new movie “The Phoenician Scheme,” and barely remembered working with Cruise for a sketch in 2010 — until the host reminded him, and the memories started pouring in.
“Oh, yes I have!” Cera recalled, prompting laughter from them both. “Crazy thing to forget.”
“I have worked with Tom, that’s crazy,” he continued. “I did work with Tom. I completely did, yeah. It was the MTV Movie Awards, and I don’t even know if you’ve seen those, but they did like funny intro, movie, video things that they did, pretaped funny things.”
Cruise filmed several sketches in character as Les Grossman, the vulgar, fictional studio head he played in “Tropic Thunder” (2008). Some of these skits, which featured cameos from rising stars at the time, such as Robert Pattinson, are still available on YouTube.
