There is no doubt that Tom Cruise has a lot of reach in the Hollywood industry. Oftentimes he uses it to help people. As an actor, he has achieved a great many number of feats throughout his career. He has stretched himself out in some cases, getting praise from directors and actors alike. Whether it is the collection of accolades he holds or the number of fans that support him, there is no doubt that Cruise is one of the biggest actors.
One of his co-stars, Thandiwe Newton had a rough time growing her career in Hollywood. Whether it was the biggest movie or one that starred some of the most renowned stars, difficulties have followed her regardless. A matter that she raised was of her time while on the casting couch for Sandra Bullock’s Crash. Newton claims that those secrets will be revealed once she passes away.
Thandiwe Newton Struggled on the Casting Couch of Sandra Bullock’s Movie
In an interview with Vulture, Thandiwe Newton talked about how she struggled from one movie to another for some of the most gruesome reasons possible. With Sandra Bullock’s Crash, she found herself on the casting couch as well. However, the experience was far from kind, one that she will only reveal once she is dead.
“There’s the disgusting thing that happened with the casting couch. I’ve got my little black book, which will be published on my deathbed,” she added. “I’m not doing it when I’m alive. I don’t want to deal with all the fallout and everyone getting their side of the story. There is no side of the story when you’re s*xually abused. You give that up.”
She stated that it was important for her to spill these secrets only after her passing so as to ensure that no other person tries to tell their own side of the story. She elaborated on how when one is abused in a way she was, no other side of the story matters.

Thandiwe Newton Sees Tom Cruise as a Man with Pressure
While speaking with Vulture, Thandiwe Newton even talked about Tom Cruise and how she found herself to be afraid of him. It was because of his aura and just how much he puts on his shoulders when it comes to the projects he works on. The actress elaborated that his need to excel in everything is because of the pressure he takes on himself.
“I was so scared of Tom. He was a very dominant individual. He tries superhard to be a nice person. But the pressure. He takes on a lot. And I think he has this sense that only he can do everything as best as it can be done. There was one time, we were doing this night scene, there were so many extras with pyrotechnics and you name it, and it was a scene with him and me on the balcony. And I don’t think it was a very well-written scene. I get angry with him. We’re frustrated with each other.”
According to Newton, he even went so far as two practice lines in each other’s roles during the filming of Mission: Impossible 2 because he could better navigate the way she was speaking her lines in order for him to deliver his own.
