Tom Cruise gave his all for his performance in this science fiction film. The director will even say that he has never seen anyone work so hard.
The world of Hollywood presents itself as a highly competitive place where the smallest detail matters – and the actors know it. Those at the top have no fault of their own and invest enormously in their roles, sometimes to the extreme. Here, we’re not talking about growing a little beard or changing your haircut, we’re talking about “transformations”. For example, Matt Damon had to perfect his body and greatly improve his physical condition, but the pinnacle goes to Tom Cruise in a science fiction film.
Matt Damon and his transformation into Jason Bourne
The Jason Bourne films feature a CIA killer suffering from amnesia. We discover it for the first time on the big screen in The memory in the skin, directed by Doug Liman in 2002. The character is a killing machine. In the film, we paint the portrait of a man with an extremely brutal mental and physical appearance. The latter is played by Matt Damon and the actor had to be up to the task. To do this, as he tells it in an interview for >, the 53-year-old actor embarked on an intense program, including martial arts, boxing and weapons training. In just 6 months, the man achieved extraordinary skills allowing him to put himself in the shoes of Jason Bourne.
Tom Cruise and his grueling filming on The Edge of Tomorrow
For another Doug Liman film, The Edge of Tomorrow sorti, in 2014, Tom Cruise had to make extraordinary efforts for the filming. The director, in an interview with USA Today, even said this: “I have never seen anyone work as hard physically to prepare for a role as Tom Cruise.” In fact, the actor had to perform his performance while wearing a costume that weighed around 40 kg. It included all the paraphernalia that the soldier he played was supposed to have: helmet, weapons, harness, exo-skeleton, etc. The whole thing could have been created in CGI in post-production, but for the realism of the film, it was better to shoot it that way. Although heavy, it made it easier for the actors to get into the skin of the character.
