You are giving him a crown based on your own criteria, and that criteria is defined by his own career and your expectations of him.

You have set it up so no matter what someone says, you are right.

The Leo point above...basically that Leo takes risks. "Well, I don't want Cruise to take risks..."..."well I don't want Cruise to chase Oscars" or whatever...

??

So Cruise is YOUR current favorite star doing it? And he is currently doing exactly what you, as fan, want him to do? Cool.


I'd say he is a once extremely talented actor who learned to pick "safe" movies over time as his real-life persona started wierding everyone out.

He also has great connections and friends in the industry.

Oh, and I guess its cool he does his own stunts, but that is such a minor thing for many I find it an odd thing to even bring up.
