American Psycho based on an American Psycho

THIS whole interview with director Mary Harron is worth reading, but, the only part that's made the front page of all the blogs is the juicy part where Harron admits that she and Christian Bale developed his character in American Psycho based on Tom Cruise. "One day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy."
*
Yeah, we've all been taken with that energy, and the darkness that lurks behind the handsome smile. My amusement came from imagining the reaction of those closest to Tom this morning. Nicole Kidman turned to Keith Urban and said "See? I told you!" Katie Holmes patted Tommy's little shoulders and said "Sweetie, darling, it's not true, mummy wuves her tiny boy." Suri regarded the whole scene over her coffee cup and then snapped her fingers at her butler to get the Cruise PR team on the phone. They are going to teach Tommy how to smile with his eyes.

Gawd, truer words were never spoken. Not hard to think of Tommy as a psycho. It's type casting really. Like you said, just ask Nicole!!

Hey, I wanna know what ever happened to that book that guy was writing exspoing all of Tommys gay-boy antics? Did you read what Bronson Pinchot had to say about his gay bashing back in the early days? Quite interesting. Tommy was talking & bashing the gays when there were no gays around. He would say things like "Would you like some ice cream, as long as there are no gays around today"...WTH? Pinchot was not fond of Tommy anyway. Its obvious. Tom is a dick and hateful & a homophobe that is trying too hard not to be gay. Thats all.

Tom is a nasty piece of work. I hate the way he sues everyone if they even mention the word "gay" when talking about him. Other male celebs just laugh it off but Tommy goes into a "SHUT UP! I WILL SUE YOU! I AM NOT GAY, NOOOOO!" rage.

There is a great quote from Jamie Foxx (who worked with Tom a few years ago) which I can't remember word-for-word, but it was about how fake Tom is and how he tries too hard to be charming. I'm paraphrasing Jamie here but it was very close to, "If I tell a joke, he just laughs and laughs and laughs and finally I'm like, 'Hey man, what the fuck?'"

As for Katie, she always looks five minutes away from a nervous breakdown.
