Tom Cruise's first agent, Eileen Berlin, spoke in detail about her views on the Hollywood superstar in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail recently.
The retired 82-year-old showbiz executive revealed that Tom Cruise is obsessed with his appearance and that he is also a very self-centered and controlling person.
In an interview, Erin Berlin showed off some promotional photos taken by Tom Cruise in the early days and said
"Tom Cruise actually has several faces — you can see it in the pictures. Contempt, arrogance, frustration, charisma, sadness, I've seen a lot of his emotional side, but I've never seen him really show a happy side. He was always very, very ambitious and very hard trying to be a star. This made him an extreme perfectionist, and of course it was the source of his motivation, which he still retains even now."
Erin Burling was not surprised by rumors that Tom Cruise had previously injected facial fillers for plastic surgery
"Tommy has created a human aura for himself and I think he will do everything he can to maintain his image for as long as possible and will fight anything that stands in his way."
In addition, Erin Berlin revealed that Tom Cruise was very emotional in private, especially early in his career. Erin said his anger appeared to come from resentment toward his father, who was said to have beaten and scolded him frequently as a child. Irene had witnessed Tom Cruise's outburst on her 19th birthday.
"Tommy has a bad temper. He was very resentful of his biological father. He has a bad temper, he's very emotional, and in the blink of an eye he might get angry, like something is lit all at once, smoking and exploding. I attributed this to his insecurities. ”
"On his 19th birthday, I gave him an album with all the promotional articles he had published in a teen magazine. But he screamed at me, 'I don't want to be a part of a teen magazine,' and he told me I was an adult, not a teen idol. He threw the album at me hard and hit me in the cheek. ”
Tom Cruise's acting career was a major breakthrough in 1981 with the film Taps.
Erin Burling said of the filming experience that Tom Cruise was very involved in filming
Before filming a scene, he locked himself in a closet to perform the emotions of that scene, constantly thinking that someone had raped his sister. After filming, they went to dinner together at a restaurant outside, and a waitress came up to greet them and asked him if he was one of the actors, and Tom Cruise got angry on the spot and asked her agent, Erin, to tell her that she was not allowed to ask any more questions because he was still immersed in his role.
In addition, Erin said that Tom Cruise is very controlling, he is very self-centered, and everything has to go according to his heart.
When negotiating a contract for his 1983 film Risky Business, Erin Berlin recognized this.
"I remember how Tommy asked me to type out the details of those terms, including his compensation of $75,000, how to pay, etc., as well as promotional photo shooting requirements, first-class round-trip travel, luxurious suites in the hotel, the best actors lounge, etc., all written into the contract."
The two worked together for years until the arrival of the movie "Top Gun", when Tom Cruise decided to move to Los Angeles.
Speaking about his three marriages, Erin said meaningfully that these three marriages did shock her a little, but the final divorce was within her expectations.
"I was just shocked that he had been married three times and it had gone on for so long. I wish he had other things in his life that he could focus on. He loves his job, but I don't think he loves those people. I feel sorry for him. I feared he would be lonely. As long as he can work and make movies he likes, he should be fine. But what will happen to him if he doesn't do that anymore, I don't know."
