Mickey Rourke doesn't respect Tom Cruise because he doesn't challenge himself.
The 69-year-old star from "The Wrestler" and "Iron Man 2" commented during an interview with Pierce Morgan on TalkTV.
When asked about Tom Cruise's success with Top Gun: Maverick, Rourke said ,
"The guy's been doing the same effing part for 35 years. I got no respect for that.
"I don't care about money and power. I care about when I watch Al Pacino work, and Chris Walken and De Niro's early work and Richard Harris's work and Ray Winstone's work. That's the kind of actor I want to be like. Monty Clift and Brando back in the day. The kind of guys who tried to stretch as actors."
When asked if he thinks Cruise is a good actor, Rourke said
"He's irrelevant in my world'
Top Gun Maverick is the highest-grossing film of the year, earning over $1 billion worldwide.
