Key Points:
- Tom Cruise transformed into Digger Rockwell, a wealthy oil tycoon, for his new film "Digger," undergoing a lengthy makeup process that initially took six hours due to prosthetics and a fat suit.
- To streamline the makeup routine, Cruise timed each step with a stopwatch and worked with the makeup team to reduce the application time to under an hour without rushing.
- Despite the shorter makeup time, Cruise faced challenges wearing the fat suit and prosthetics, including overheating, which he managed by devising cooling solutions.
- "Digger," directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, and Sandra Hüller, premieres on October 2; Cruise has collaborated with Iñárritu for seven years and values working with different directors to learn and grow.
