Meeting Tom Cruise is certainly an experience like no other. Anthony Ramos knows all about that, as during the Twisters premiere, Cruise was all over the actor in the best way possible. Still, Ramos could not believe how enthusiastic Cruise was, and even called the actor “trippin.” Jimmy Fallon and Tonight Show fans had a blast with the story.
Let’s revisit what Ramos had to say, and what a different actor said about Tom Cruise and their time together in Top Gun: Maverick.
It seems like Manny Jacinto took notes from his time with Cruise, but it wasn’t all positive in the end.
Anthony Ramos Told Jimmy Fallon Tom Cruise Was “Trippin” During The Premiere Of Twisters
Both fans and Jimmy Fallon were highly entertained just a few days ago as Anthony Ramos appeared on the program, discussing his role in Twisters.
Ramos had plenty of other things to discuss, which included memories of singing at school, and the reason he carries around a cow balloon.
His story from the Twisters premiere was especially noteworthy given that it involved Tom Cruise. It seems like Cruise was overly-excited watching Ramos in the film. The actor admits he got nudged by Cruise more than a few times during the film, of course, in a playful manner.
Fallon had a blast with the story.
Ramos tells Fallon, “Tom was tripping the whole time. Tom is just like laughing out loud, the whole time. At least four times during the film he’s hitting me, and he’s like, ‘that’s good bud. That’s great.'”
“After the third time I was like, ‘Tom Cruise trippin behind me.’ He was going crazy the whole time.” Fallon interjects, “That guy, he just loves the business.”
Ramos adds, “I was like, ‘T you strong son, relax.'”
Ramos tells Fallon about the ordeal at the 4:25 mark below.
Anthony Ramos has a net worth of $2 million.
In the comments section, fans had nothing but praise for Ramos and his interview with Jimmy Fallon.
Fans wrote:
“I love Anthony. His vibe is so nice and chill and his humor golden!!! And his voice is so beautiful.”
“I was watching his Twister interviews with the other cast and Anthony seemed very shy and reserved and barely talked in those interviews but in this video, it’s like two completely different people. Very different energy too. He is so much more talkative here.”
“Anthony Ramos is such a great actor and super star im glad he finally getting his flowers he is amazing.”
Although Ramos got lots of love for the interview, it was an up and down week for Tom Cruise after a different actor commented on his experience in Top Gun: Maverick.
Manny Jacinto Recently Detailed His Opposite Experience With Tom Cruise In Top Gun: Maverick
Credit to Manny Jacinto for having the courage to speak out on why his lines got axed in Top Gun: Maverick. Going against Tom Cruise isn’t always the best decision. Nonetheless, Jacinto was honest about his experience in Top Gun: Maverick, one that featured disappointing changes.
What did Jacinto say about Top Gun: Maverick?
“There was this sense of where the film was going [on set], like I can see them focusing the camera more on these [other] guys and not taking so much time on our scenes. Fortunately, it still was a great experience — you get to see this huge machine at work, see how Tom Cruise works, and you get to be a small part of this huge franchise.”
“At the end of the day, Tom Cruise is writing stories for Tom Cruise.”
“It’s up to us — Asian Americans, people of color — to be that [for ourselves]. We can’t wait for somebody else to do it. If we want bigger stories out there, we have to make them for ourselves.”
Tom Cruise did not comment on Jacinto’s claims, and it isn’t likely that he will at any point.
