‘I created Reacher – we couldn’t make the same Tom Cruise mistake twice’
Fans of the books complained over Cruise's casting.
When the Mission Impossible star, 62, landed the part of Jack Reacher in the film adaptations, there was an unignorable swell of disgruntlement from fans who complained he did not match the action hero’s physicality. For in Lee Child ’s books, Reacher is painted as a bulking heft of a human – ‘extremely broad’, standing at 6’5″, with ‘hands the size of dinner plates’ and blond – not exactly descriptors you would apply to Cruise.
