Why Tom Cruise prefers not to use method acting in his performances
Tom Cruiseis famous for his roles in action movies and the daring stunts he performs, but when it comes to acting, he takes a different approach than many actors. While some actors use method acting, where they stay in character even when the cameras aren’t rolling, Cruise prefers to do things his own way.
In an interview withSBS Viceland’s The Feed, Cruise explained why he doesn’t think method acting is necessary for his performances. He said:

It’s not that I don’t like doing that, it’s that I don’t find it necessary. You know, you look at a child who’s there, and he has the most amazing imagination. You know, children, you’re just looking at them and they can create, become different characters instantly. That’s just how I develop character.

Even though the character was complex, Cruise didn’t follow the usual method of acting rules. Instead, he made the role his own by rewriting the opening speech.
