Will Smith received a lot of criticism after he slapped Rock at the Oscars for making fun of his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Due to his violent behavior at the Oscars, his films are not doing well at the box office. His last film Emancipation wasn’t appreciated much by the people and the reason was mostly the Oscars controversy.
Reportedly, Smith thinks the only way he can make his career work out at this point is by making a movie with his friend Tom Cruise. The 60-year-old actor’s film Top Gun: Maverick was loved by the audience and Smith and Cruise’s friendship has always been making waves on the internet. The Aladdin actor wants to join hands with Cruise and intends to make a movie with him.

Smith has been trying to reach out to Cruise for a very long time. The Mission Impossible actor has not been responsive to Smith’s texts and calls. Reportedly, Cruise wants to stay out of it and doesn’t want to get himself involved with Smith after his slap controversy with Rock. An Inside source said,
“Making a movie with Tom would be a major win for Will. But, apparently, Tom hasn’t returned any of his calls. Tom has been lying low in Hollywood, so he isn’t about to publicly come to anyone’s defense, even for Will.“The last thing he wants is to be embroiled in that drama.”
As per reports, Cruise wants to maintain a distance from Smith since he slapped the 58-year-old actor on stage. He is reportedly disappointed with Smith’s action. The source also said,
“Will has approached Tom several times, trying to reconnect and see if they can hang out and brainstorm on some projects together. A solid movie with Tom would guarantee Will’s comeback, or so he thinks.
The source further added,
“Will has even offered to fly to London if that’s more convenient, but Tom isn’t biting and doesn’t even write him back.”
Will Smith has been desperately trying to get in touch with Cruise, but he has been out of his reach for a very long time. Only time will tell if Smith will be successful in getting a hold of Tom Cruise and bringing him on board for a collaboration.
