“That doesn’t mean sh*t to me. [Tom Cruise has] been doing the same part for 35 effing years. I got no respect for that,” he said.

He added that he cares more about actors displaying their range of skills in a variety of roles rather than always playing the same role and being successful.

“I don’t care about money or power. I care about…when I when I watch Al Pacino or Christopher Walken working, or De Niro’s early work and Richard Harris and Ray Winstone, that’s the kind of actor I want to be like. A lot of guys that tried to stretch as actors.”  he said.

An amused Piers asked Walken if he doesn’t think Cruise is a good actor, to which he replied; “I think he’s irrelevant.”
