Tom Cruise (56) will never be seen as a “Jack Reacher”, as the author of the original book, Lee Child, has announced. The reason sounds quite unusual: Cruise is just under 1.70 metres, too small for the role. In an Interview with “BBC Radio” said the Child: “Cruise, so he’s talented, is not physically suitable.” A contract for a series adaptation was therefore already fix. And also been decided, that Cruise will be.
Although the author assures that Cruise would be a “really, Grbets really great guy,” and he would have liked to have worked with him, he bends with the new edition of his novel material, especially the protests of the readers: “But, unfortunately, the readers are right. The size of Reacher is very, very important, and it is a big part of what makes him who he is.” He further explains: “The idea of Reacher is that he goes into a room and you’re already in the first Minute a bit nervous.” This would not Cruise because of its size, is simply not possible.
