Also, don’t forget Audie Murphy....he was a giant in a small-framed body. At 5’5” he was 2 inches shorter than Cruz, but towered above them all.
This by no means should be taken I actually ‘like’ Tom Cruz. His politics and whole mindset sucks, frankly. But there have been some good movies he’s starred in.
You’re right, good movies. But the difference between Audie Murphy and Tom Cruise is that Audie was actually a brave hero. Most were, back in those days. Tommy boy is just a scrawny little faker.
