Ethan Hawke verrät, wie Tom Cruise ihm das Gefühl gab, „weniger“ zu sein, als weil er ein Stunt-Team eingesetzt hatte

Ethan Hawke says Tom Cruise has set a different standard for actors doing their own stunts, making some feel “less” for using a stunt team.

The Boyhood actor spoke about stunts in a discussion about his upcoming historical drama, The Weight, at Variety‘s Sundance Studio. Hawke told Variety that he performed his own stunts for the film, directed by Padraic McKinley, but said that Cruise has shifted expectations for actors.

“Tom Cruise has totally changed what’s expected for actors. Some part of me is getting angry over the years because everyone somehow feels like they’re less if they use a stunt team,” Hawke said.
