Tom Cruise revisited South Korea for his 13th trip to the country with a fresh film, "Digger." This marked one of the most significant transformations in the Hollywood star's five-decade-long career. "Digger" follows Digger Rockwell, a tenacious billionaire whose drilling activities in a Greenland glacier trigger a minor breach that quickly spirals into a global catastrophe.
Cruise adopted a new appearance for the film, sporting grey hair, aging makeup, and a notoriously irritable demeanor. He portrayed a character who plunges the world into turmoil.
Expressing his delight at visiting Korea for the 13th time, the 64-year-old actor emphasized his profound affinity with Korean fans. He recalled his 13th visit to the country, stating it was likely a Hollywood record. "I love it," Cruise declared, "I'm very excited to share a dinner with you all, and I just love coming here."
When questioned about his motivation for "Digger," Cruise underscored his ambition to collaborate with a world-class director and explore uncharted creative territory. He praised director Alejandro Iñárritu as one of the greatest filmmakers in cinema history, calling him an extraordinary artist.
