Tom Cruise scolded Michael Cera for rude interruption while filming: ‘He runs the set'
Tom Cruise called out Michael Cera the first time they worked together.
When the duo met to film a quick clip for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, Cera was put on blast for 'talking to the writer' during filming.
'We were just kind of mumbling while they were shooting,' the Barbie star, 37, recalled on the Louis Theroux Podcast Tuesday. 'But they could hear us. It was just, like, 40 feet away.'
Cruise, 62, stopped what he was doing at the time to ask, 'Is that Michael Cera talking during a f**king take?''

Although Cera does 'think [Cruise] was joking,' he noted that it was clear the Top Gun star wanted him to 'shut up.'
Cruise later ribbed Cera for 'talking during a f**king take' before assuring the Tony nominee that he was 'kidding.'
Cera told listeners that Cruise was 'very friendly' but 'runs the set' and is 'such a leader.'
He explained, 'I was there for, like, five minutes, but what I observed was, he was like the first [assistant director] on the set.'
Cruise's rep has yet to respond to Page Six's request for comment.
Working with Cruise was a 'surreal' and 'fascinating' experience for Cera — although he initially spaced on the collaboration when asked about it.

'I haven't worked with Tom Cruise,' Cera insisted before quickly walking back the statement. 'Oh, yes. I have. Crazy thing to forget.'
Host Louis Theroux quipped, 'I love that. I dream of the day when I forget working with Tom Cruise.'

The Mission Impossible star came up in conversation as the duo discussed Scientology, which Cruise has been a member of since the 1980s.
He was reportedly introduced by his first wife, Mimi Rogers, and went on to marry Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.
Cruise is now believed to be 'courting' his Deeper co-star Ana de Armas, although the duo did not speak to romance rumours during their recent press tours for different films.

Scott Wolf breaks silence on divorce from estranged wife Kelley Wolf
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Scott Wolf is accusing his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, of conspiring to make 'disturbing, false' claims about him amid their messy divorce battle. The Party of Five star broke his silence on his split from the former Real World star, saying his ex conspired a plan to accuse him of 'psychological abuse, child abuse, child endangerment, stealing with passports.' While he previously chose to keep this 'difficult' time in his family's lives 'private,' he told People in a statement published on Saturday that he's now speaking up to protect 'the well being of (his) children.' Scott Wolf broke his silence on his contentious divorce from Kelley Wolf, accusing her of conspiring to make false allegations against him. Picture:'I am now choosing to come forward and share that she has described to me her plans to 'make claims' about me, although she also admitted, 'I do not believe they're true,' in order to gain an advantage in what she sees as a 'battle' in court, and in the court of public opinion,' Wolf said. 'In order to protect my kids, I am providing the text messages she sent to me where she describes this plan, so there are no questions about her intentions, or the malicious intent behind her false allegations made and/or planned for the future.' The outlet went on to report that Kelley, 48, alleged in the messages that she 'was advised to make claims that are possible, even though I do not believe they're true nor would I ever say them to anyone'. In a statement, the actor alleged Kelley told him her plans to 'gain an advantage in what she sees as a 'battle' in court'. 'When you accused me of all the things you put in the restraining order, you made me into a villain. The only way I can fight back is to produce claims that are either the same as yours or greater,' she continued. She also detailed that her aim was to 'create more urgency to get the kids back. Or at least get back joint custody'. Kelley ultimately shared her allegations against Wolf on a phone call with police on June 26, according to the outlet. 'Although her claims are completely baseless and incredibly dangerous, the worst part is that they are traumatic for our children,' the 57-year-old continued in his message. In text messages, Kelley alleged she 'was advised to make claims that are possible, even though I do not believe they're true'. 'I hope that anyone who might speak publicly or report on such things, will consider this before spreading any further information from a clearly unreliable and completely compromised source.' He closed, asking for 'privacy and respect for our family' and thanked 'all those who have shown their love and support'. A representative for Kelley did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. As some may recall, Kelley was shockingly detained and hospitalised after police were called to the Wolf family's Park City, Utah, home in June after a reported 'family fight'. An audio recording of the 911 call showed an unidentified woman claiming she was 'terrified' and 'needed help' after getting into an altercation with her brother-in-law and 16-year-old son. Wolf with his Party of Five cast mates Neve Campbell, Matthew Fox and Lacey Chabert. At the time, someone at the scene also mentioned an alleged 'past-occurred assault' choking incident that purportedly took place at their home in March. The scene transpired shortly after Scott filed for divorce on June 10. After his filing, Kelley later made another bombshell claim on social media that she was 'held against her will' by her former friends while she was 'trying to file for divorce.' Later that month, Scott was granted sole custody of their three children — Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11 — and a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife which he later dropped after they reached a new temporary agreement detailing custody, finances and communication.

Guinness credited for Pierce Brosnan's luscious locks
Pierce Brosnan credits "Guinness" for his enviable hair. The 72-year-old actor explained his dietary theory as to why Irish men have luscious locks when asked how his own mane looks so good and noted that his father Tom "had good hair". Speaking to Page Six at the premiere of The Thursday Murder Club, Pierce said: "I don't know. "It's all in the hair, the old Celtic hair." The former James Bond actor suggested that "potatoes, butter" or "the Guinness" is responsible for the lack of baldness in Irish men of a certain vintage. When told that he was ageing like fine wine, Brosnan replied: "I'm doing my best!" Brosnan plays retired trade unionist Ron Ritchie in the upcoming Netflix murder mystery film The Thursday Murder Club - based on Richard Osman's novel of the same name - but explained that it isn't the first instance of him taking on a character who is "rough-around-the-edges". "I've done rough-around-the-edges before," he said. "(I've) been so entrenched in the world of the sophisticated man and Mr Slick and Mr Elegance, you know, sometimes you paint yourself into a corner with your own ... you get hoisted by your own canard so to speak!" However, Brosnan pointed out that playing suave roles hasn't served him too badly, playing James Bond in four films between 1995 and 2002. "It's paid the rent over the years!" Brosnan has been praised for his recent role as crime boss Conrad Harrigan in the Paramount+ series MobLand and is delighted that the show has been received so well. "I've been hearing that yes, for sure. One can feel the wave, and you celebrate it and give thanks, doesn't happen that often!" Meanwhile, Brosnan has encouraged whoever is cast as the next James Bond to "be bold" and "have a great time" in the role. "Be bold. Enjoy it. Know yourself, be strong, go out there and have a great time," he told Extra. "There's so many wonderful actors. It's a magnificent role. Whoever finds the role, it will change their life."
