Mickey Rourke
doesn’t seem to be a fan of fellow actor
Tom Cruise
and he wasn’t afraid to say it, in his latest interview.
The 69-year-old called the
Top Gun: Maverick
star “irrelevant” and admitted
he had no respect for the reprisal of his role as CAPT Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in his new film,
which is a sequel to 1986’s
Top Gun
, when he sat down for a recent video chat on
Piers Morgan Uncensored
.
“That doesn’t mean sh*t to me,” Mickey said
when Piers asked what he thought about Tom’s latest movie topping the box office charts.
“The guy’s been doing the same effing part for 35 years,” he continued.
“I got no respect for that. I don’t care about money and power.
I care about when I watch
Al Pacino
work and
Chris Walken
and
De Niro
’s early work
