TOM CRUISE WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE DOESN’T NEED A STUNT MAN

Tom Cruise loves to get publicity when he’s doing dangerous stunts so paparazzi are always notified so they can catch the action. Above, they are filming Mission Impossible 7 in the UK – in particular, a scene where Esai Morales (one of our favorites!) and Cruise are fighting on top of a speeding train lurching around a mountain. (A highly improbable event in real life!) Note both actors are attached to the top of the train car by two wires hooked to their waistbands. Interesting to observe that even during a tricky fight scene, Tom wears his built up elevator shoes. Sylvester Stallone used to have a casting rule that actors working opposite him should not be much taller – we wonder if Tom requires the same thing…

ESAI MORALES IS NOW THE BAD GUY

It’s about time. At long last, Esai Morales has been cast in a blockbuster big budget film that will undoubtedly open doors for him. Of course Esai is a long-term successful actor – since Bad Boys and La Bamba, he has worked constantly. (He’s also an activist – for Latinx issues and SAG) Recently he appeared on Criminal Minds as FBI agent Cruz, and you might have seen him on Ozark or Curb Your Enthusiasm. We’re happy to see that Esai just landed a juicy role playing the VILLAIN who torments Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 7. He and Tom are the same age- 57- and a good match. We expect handsome Esai to steal the scenes he shares with Tom!

ESAI MORALES IS NO LONGER A BAD BOY

As beards go, we’ve seen much worse examples than this facial hair sported by Esai Morales. Of course this grey beard IS hiding the face of one of the better looking actors in Hollywood, so it’s still a nuisance. We remember Esai’s Smoothly handsome face in 80’s movies Bad Boys and La Bamba – more recently NYPD Blue. He’s always been political – Esai is a National Board Member for SAG-AFTRA and he ran for president of the union this year. Above, Esai was seen arriving at George Lopez’s celebrity Golf Classic pre-party in Brentwood. He’s a silver fox with or without the beard…
