Jean Reno was this February 9, 2024 the guest of Nagui in his Original Sound Track on France Inter. The septuagenarian, asked about this failed collaborationdidn’t hesitate to throw it all away!
While Nagui asked him “(if he carried) in his heart” Tom Cruise, Jean Reno didn’t have to be asked: “Not too much, no. I didn’t have much contact with him, really. There were two of us who didn’t have any contact”he shouted. The septuagenarian remembers a man “totally contemptuous“, and still remembers a birthday party for the actor to which he had invited him: “He (had) invited us for his birthday. I gave him all the editions of Molière, an edition that I found was really good for me, in my eyes. He looked at it like it was a pack of gum. He gave it to his assistant behind in two seconds“ praises the actor Visitors and of Shut up.
He loved John Travolta and Jon Voight
Today, Jean Reno has nothing more to lose, and even less to prove. The actor explains having the support of John Travoltawith whom they were able to discuss together the deplorable behavior of Tom Cruise: “He doesn’t have much sympathy. I also toured with John Travolta, who told me about it. I loved Jon Voight. With him, I went to Vienna, I visited the Jewish cemetery , the synagogue, because he wanted at all costs to see the oldest synagogue in Europe, and I had contact with him, something happened. With Tom… as if we don’t exist“ he shouts. Clearly, the two actors are not ready to meet again… and even less to film together!
