Tom Cruise's Unusual Method for Choosing Roles: Directors Must Read to Him

Reading a script? Mission: Impossible.

Tom Cruise revealed that he has directors read scripts to him when he’s considering whether to take on a new project.

“What I do with directors and writers is, I don’t read the scripts. I have them read it to me,” Cruise, 64, said during an appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast Sept. 18.
