In an interview with Vulture, the actress looked back on the 2000 movie. While she was never asked to be part of another project in the franchise, Thandie recalls working alongside Tom Cruise. "I was so scared of Tom. He was a very dominant individual. He tries superhard to be a nice person," she claimed. The duo was filming a scene together and according to the actress, "Tom was not happy with what I was doing because of my lines. It just pushed me further into a place of terror and insecurity. And bless him because he was trying his damnedest." According to Thandie, she later received a phone call from Tom. While she thought an apology may be coming, Thandie was ultimately told by her co-star that they were going to reshoot next week. "It's not the best way to get the best work out of someone." Looking back 20 years later, Thandie believes she would have handled things a bit different today.
