Tom Cruise – Tropic Thunder

Who else was shocked by Tom Cruise's transformation into a foul-mouthed movie mogul in Tropic Thunder? Actually, the character of Les Grossman came about after Tom read the script and suggested Ben Stiller add a "greedy pig studio executive who really represents the gross part of Hollywood." (Hmm, wonder who he based that on?) He also suggested Grossman should have fat hands and dance. Stiller agreed, so Tom put on a fat suit and had a blast mocking movie moguls, earning himself his seventh Golden Globe nomination in the process.
