I thought Cruz’s best role was the movie producer in Tropic Thunder. He’s kinda weird with the Scientology thing but maybe he’s a Trump supporter. When I think about all the Hollyweird actors and actresses being hysterically anti Trump they have to be coached. I don’t think they have an independent thought about anything. They are so scripted dependent.
scientology and trump seem mutually exclusive, unless i am missing something (always possible lol)...
Right after The Color of Money, he talked about Paul Newman opening his eyes about politics, regretting making Top Gun, wanting to make movies like Born on the Fourth of July, blah blah blah. Somewhere along the line, he figured out that keeping your mouth shut about politics is good for business, so you don’t hear much of that from him now. And he made Top Gun Part Deux.
I don’t think he’s especially a Trump supporter, but Eastern European countries often make good filming locations for outdoor shots because they are not as heavily developed as the US. Also, it costs a lot less to get extras, pay living expenses while filming, etc. The countries like it because they don’t have to Invest a lot themselves to make money on it.
I don’t see how the press could possibly imply that Trump had anything to do with this or that there’s anything suspect about it. But then, the press will say anything that crosses its crazy mind.
