Mickey Rourke clashes with Tom Cruise

The least we can say is that Mickey Rourke is not a big fan of Tom Cruise!

The former boxer expressed his blunt opinion, questioned by Piers Morgan, on the interpreter of Ethan Hunt, whom he accuses of “playing the same role” for too many years.

"It doesn't mean anything to me.

The guy has been doing the same thing for 35 years.

I have no respect for that,” he said on

after the host brought up

box office record-breaking

"Not relevant"

According to him, an actor must have a rich and varied filmography, which he does not find in Tom Cruise.

“I don't care about money and power.

I'm interested in the work of Al Pacino and the early work of Chris Walken and (Robert) De Niro and the work of Richard Harris and that of Ray Winstone.

These are the kind of actors I want to be like.

Monty (Montgomery) Clift and (Marlon) Brando at the time,” he added.

When asked if Tom Cruise is a "good actor", Mickey Rourke says he is "not relevant in (his) world".

If Tom Cruise will indeed have played secret agent Ethan Hunt for 28 years in the

saga when it ends in 2024, he still has a more varied filmography than what Mickey Rourke says…
