Tom Cruise, 64, appeared in the first trailer for Digger with gray, messy hair, a prosthetic belly, and a pronounced Southern accent. Nothing like the action hero everyone knows.
In the film, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and set for release on October 22, Cruise plays Digger Rockwell, an oil magnate who inadvertently unleashes a global ecological crisis. The President of the United States, played by John Goodman, tasks him with saving the planet.
Iñárritu himself said that Cruise told him: “It took me 40 years to become this character”. Fans are already talking about a possible Oscar nomination, and you, would you recognize him on the street?
