Bronson Pinchot gave an interview this week to The Onion A.V. Club in which he talks about several of his annoying-ass costars over the years, not the least of which was Tom Cruise in his breakout role, Risky Business. Bronson was 23 at the time and Tom was 20, and Bronson was playing the character of Barry (see video after the jump). Apparently the entire cast thought the movie was just going to tank and that Tom was "the biggest bore on the face of the Earth." Also:
He was tense and made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments, like, “You want some ice cream, in case there are no gay people there?” I mean, his lingo was larded with the most… There was no basis for it. It was like, “It’s a nice day, I’m glad there are no gay people standing here.” Very, very strange. Years and years later when people started to torment him with that, I used to think “God, that’s really fitting, because he tormented a lot of people as a 20-year-old.”
It's a great interview, in which Bronson also shits all over Eddie Murphy, Bette Midler, and Denzel Washington. Also, newsflash: Bronson Pinchot is straight? Who knew. [Onion A.V. Club via Dlisted]
UPDATE: Apparently Christian Bale hates Tom too! Instead of studying serial killers for his role in American Psycho, he studied Tom Cruise!
