Paul Newman's Valuable Acting Lesson To Tom Cruise | The Graham Norton Show 

Graham Norton once said that Tom Cruise is one of the best celebrities he has had on his program. After the show Tom says thankyou to all the staff backstage apparently and remembers their names when thanking them.

Fun Fact : *_Tom Cruise is 9 months Older than Graham Norton_* *_Both of them are 58 Years Old_*

This show is the probably the only place that makes the guests feel comfortable, just like a regular conversation

You know I miss seeing Tom in movies that are not full of action . People today think of him as just action movie star . He is much more than that.

I love this guy. He's one of the upper, upper elite actors we have in the business. It's crazy all the damage he caused those years with his beliefs, but he seems to have normalized again. He is a fantastic actor and always entertaining.

Notice that graham genuinely enjoys tom cruise's presence❣️

No American talk show would ever put John Bishop on at the same time as Tom Cruise and give them both the reins at the same pace, and seeing Tom Cruise try and bring John Bishop into the conversation by relating their jobs shows how much The Graham Norton Show advantages from that risk

True story back in the 70’s when Tom Cruise was a high school wrestler in New Jersey my teammate injured him in a match so he couldn’t continue wrestling for the rest of the season. So instead he went out for drama club the rest is history lol!

Fun fact: Tom is the 1st actor in history to star in 5 consecutive films that grossed $100 million in the US: A Few Good Men (1992), The Firm (1993), Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), Mission: Impossible (1996) and Jerry Maguire (1996).

The first movie i saw him in was the Outsiders. I had no idea who he was. Now when he became a huge star , I watched it again. You could see he had something

I could listen to Tom tell stories all day, no joke

Tom Cruise's personal life has nothing to do with the fact that he is a great actor and totally loyal to the fans. He wants the best from himself and from the others involved in his films.

Love the way Tom is with everything, always with respect and interest. Love him.

The Graham Norton Show always has a fantastic array of guests!

At least he didn't have to smoke. If you watch him in Rainman, he holds the cigarette but you never see him smoke it.

Due to his longevity and bankability, an often overlooked aspect of Tom cruise is his range. People might be quick to judge him from his recent MI movies, but Tom has had a plethora of great performances in widely different roles. And mind you, it doesn't need to be a character driven movie to showcase one's range, he is able to display that even in commercial blockbusters. His dramatic portrayal in Magnolia, Few good men, Rainman, etc., comedic role in Tropic Thunder, Anti-hero in Collateral, Romantic role in Jerry Maguire, War movies like Born on 4th of July and Valkyrie, fantasy movies like Interview with Vampire, he has done enough to showcase his range. But action and sci-fi are his trope and after all these years trying to prove people how good an actor he is, perhaps he now deserves to work on what he enjoys the most

"Lessons learned." The story of life and it never gets old or dull especially when it is told well.

Thank you , l love Paul Newman , Tom Cruise is so enjoyable to watch.

It's great to see tom have that respect for legends like gene hackman , robert duvall and newman

R.I.P. Paul Newman, one of the greatest of Hollywood.

Tom looks amazing and very comfortable, i don't know why he doesn't have an Oscar yet 'cause the man is a LEGEND and still is the KING OF HOLLYWOOD !!!

Tom looks like he’s at his mid 40s now

"I've always had a great work ethic". I believe that's 100% true. Everyone seems to love working with him.

I love these little stories of what people actually go through, what they learn, and what we would never know unless they tell us.

Crazy to think Cruise is almost Newman´s age when they filmed "The Colour of Money"... the guy is a freaking vampire

When Tom was in high school in the 70s, he delivered newspapers in the neighborhood of an acquaintance in Louisville, KY. She remembers him.

Incredible story telling 😂 rip Newman

I always had a love-not-so-much-love for Mr. Cruise. But the Graham Norton show has opened my eyes.

Tom Cruise is underrated as an actor. Have at the look at directors he has worked with. It is an impressive list. De Palma, Kubrick, Stone, Spielberg, Coppola, Scorsese, Pollack, Mann, Crowe and both Scott brothers.

People forget just how good of an actor Paul Newman was.

Tom never ages✨💫👏🔥💕🙏

Met him in Germany once... He’s Gracious all around and he’s a sucker for little kids! I was holding my daughter while visiting my wife’s work (nurse) on a hospital Med/surg unit and he just zoomed in on her and wanted to hold her... and all I could think, was he’s taller than I thought he would be!!!🤪

Tom really is the definition of being at the top and staying grounded at the same time. Quite grateful and welcoming. Amazing!

When is was sick in middle school Mom would take me to Grandmas. Probably a dozen times or so. Every time Grandma would go across the street and rent The Color of Money. I was obsessed with learning all the hustles. I haven't seen it in decades, I need to watch it again.

Tom Cruise is just such an entertaining interviewee, there’s so few of them. Tom Hanks is another, I miss the old school anecdotal interviews, it’s so much chit chat these days

I've loved Tom since the outsiders movie and he's such a great actor and down to earth guy I could listen to him all day

People really need to see this man in PTA's Magnolia. One of the greatest performances of all time.

Tom deserves every penny for what he does %100.

Ok. Now I understand why actors take very small bites of their food in eating scenes. So they don’t overeat from having to do all the reshoots 😂

This show has the best interviews and the greatest lineups of stars in one place. Treasure trove of short youtube videos.

he's 58 looking 40 now instead of 58 looking 35, he's aging but like tom cruise type of aging 😂😂😂

Can someone tell me why George Clooney got a Cecil B. Demille Lifetime Achievement Award and not Tom Cruise?

Tom Cruise is a sweet, generous, ultimately professional man. Eloquent and a gentleman always and every time.

Newman was the same age as Cruise is now in the Color of Money. He played an old man. Cruise plays Maverick.

Tom cruise looks great for his age.Tom cruise in Graham Norton show is always interesting and joy to watch

Tom Cruise in a suit just hits different

Tom Cruise is a consummate professional.

Finally showing a bit of signs of age. I never thought this day would come.

Every Great actor has been to Graham 's show more than the US shows , Like Tom cruise , De niro ,that shows how great Graham is at what he does .

and we're back, a bit later than planned but oh wow Tom is in the studio

Love Tom Cruise! I like to separate a person's private life from their work. Tom's work is outstanding! Yeah I wouldn't take any advise from him on religious matters but as an actor he is awesome, he's funny and hell of a story teller!

I know they knock him, but he is very people oriented and an outstanding actor. He should have got an Oscar by now

Tom Cruise is still amazing. Glad he's on Graham Norton.

Valkerie is one of his most overlooked performances of all time.

This is, by far, the best guest show in the world.

Last time he came on this show Tom Cruise showed the world how he had broken his leg shooting MI Fallout. This time he's telling how he got sick eating chocolate cake over thirty years ago. I like him.

TC IN THE HOUSE!!

What a pro.

Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks. Two of the best veterans Hollywood has.

The Hustler and The Color of Money are two Paul Newman films to watch back to back.

Newman: "Watch and learn, watch and learn." That was so fun. Literally brought a big ol' smile to my face.

Tom Cruise is an old-style Movie Star. He could stand next to Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, Humphry Bogart, John Wayne or James Stewart. True, grand Movie Star.

Norton barely spoke during this, its refreshing to see a host let the guests speak

Man, I miss Newman, Hackman et al in the movies. It's just not the same now.

I dont know, but all the Graham - Tom episodes are lit🔥

I want the complete episode😭

Next time, please invite Tom Cruise along with Keanu Reeves :)

Watch some Graham Norton every night. No pills for depression, just great interviews, especially this one and generous positive energy. I'm still depressed, but I don't know it~

Love Graham's Show.

The Cruise...I admire anyone with a work ethic. Be the best that you can in what you do. Whether you are piloting a rocket to the Moon or sweeping a road. He has achieved immense things by applying himself and investing in himself, whilst being respectful to others and being grounded. That takes a good and sound character to do that. He is an extraordinary man.

Great Actor.

Look at him . He's the boss. 40 years in the business and still going up and up and uppp.The Last Superstar in the world.

This is not how one would imagine talk about pharmaceutical companies - with Tom Cruise in the room - to be. Anyways, fun story.

I love Paul Newman. He was great. Cat on a hot tin roof is my fav movie.

Tom Cruise is a legend! You can clearly see his passion for acting shine through when he tells his stories.

The chocolate cake is that one tiny scene from Outsiders, and I feel like I have to go back and rewatch color of money now to see him freezing. I've lived in Chicago my whole life!

Tom Cruise might be crazy all day, but that man is beautiful, a fantastic actor, and still does most of his own stunts. Respect.

Tom is starting to age, he now looks 35 or so

man is 59 and still look handsome

Tom Cruise on Graham Norton! Always guaranteed entertainment!

*_TRUE FACT: I myself am a filmmaker, I voraciously respect what Tom Cruise has done as a filmmaker and within himself._* His determination to 'get it right' ... as well as an example to we fellow humans on this fragile rock that one can get through even the toughest of times is mondo teaching. Bravo-Bravo, to the dear amigo I have yet to meet and have some good chuckles with about this business of show and certainly life itself. D.A.

it's tom cruise he's feeling calm

I watched both the Hustler and The Color of money a few months ago, both knock out films

damn Scientology. if tom cruise never got sucked into that...whatever it thinks it is... he would be the most beloved star. I always feel somewhat guilty watching his stuff because it's really good but Scientology is so horrible.

Tom cruise on oprah: jumping on sofa Tom cruise on Graham norton: being normal That's what we call character development

Is this show from This year? Good to see you Tom. :) and Graham :D

Tom Cruise is much more than a movie star. He is a role model, a leader, and someone with a profound work ethic. Beside his dedication, his interaction with fans just shows how much class he has as a human.

Interesting and good too see Tom Cruise being more natural and less « show business » without the audience.

Glad to see tom again!

I can't think of one other actor that has been at the top for this long.

When i see Tom Cruise i click fast, but when i see Paul Newman on the title i click faster

Great Video! Love it!

People love to rip on TC, but he seems like the greatest guy everytime I see him, Thanks Tom, keep making movies !!

I watched this last night and still can't believe how well Tom looks..... Holly cow!!!!! When people say bad things about him it says more about them than him. The flipping man is tv/ film royalty

I only rewatched 'The Color of Money' again a few months ago and thought of how many great actors Cruise has worked with over the years. Paul Newman is a God!

Graham always brings out the very best in Tom...another great interview.

Man this guy never ages...I aged 2years due to pandemic.. does this guy time travel or something...If you know who...

Tom cruise has the same smile as when i first saw him in Top Gun. I was 5 yeras old. Hahhahah i hope he gets to spend more time with Suri.

Tom Cruise... aaaaaw. Now I am good for the rest of the day. ☺️
