As the years went by, even with the success and the destruction of my career, it was always important for\u00a0me \u2014 because of where I came from \u2014 to be a man first and an actor second,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The two also discussed acting, at which point Morgan mentioned Cruise and the fact that his recent sequel \u2014 \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d \u2014 had made over $1 billion despite following 35 years after the first film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;The guy&#8217;s been doing the same effing part for 35 years\u2026 I got no respect for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mickey Rourke tells Piers Morgan he thinks Tom Cruise is &#8220;irrelevant&#8221; as an actor.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/piersmorgan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@piersmorgan<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TalkTV?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TalkTV<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MickeyRourke?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MickeyRourke<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PiersMorganUncensored?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PiersMorganUncensored<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/joB7OSrcMD\">pic.twitter.com\/joB7OSrcMD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Piers Morgan Uncensored (@PiersUncensored) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PiersUncensored\/status\/1546583619011051521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean s*** to me.
