There was a time when Tom Cruise went 'ballistic' when he was told to share a room with co-star

It was a bad day we think for Tom Cruise when he was told to share a room with a co-star. As he started filming ‘The Outsiders’, the Hollywood star, we are told, had a major let down when he was told about sharing his on site hotel room.

According to Fox News, actor Rob Lowe made the revelation when he recently appeared on Dax Shepard's podcast Armchair Expert, where he opened up about working on the 1983 coming-of-age drama. Rob Lowe starred as one of the Greasers, Sodapop Curtis while Tom Cruise played Steve Randle.

Rob Lowe said in the podcast that Tom Cruise couldn't keep it together upon learning he would be bunking with Lowe while filming the movie.

"All of the LA people survived the LA auditions, and then the hand-picked people had to go to New York to face the New York version. So it was me and Tom Cruise and Emilio [Estevez] and C Thomas Howell,” he said.

"[It was the] first time I ever stayed at The Plaza Hotel, and we check-in, and Tom finds out that we're sharing a room and just goes ballistic."

Ron also revealed that the ‘Mission Impossible’ star did his own stunts early on his career. "He ended up being the only one who could do a backflip. It is in the movie The Outsiders for no reason. He runs out of the house and does a backflip for no reason. Just to do it,” he said.

Rob also praised Tom for his work in the film. He said, "I remember going, 'Wow, this guy is the real deal. I mean it made me laugh, it was gnarly. But in the end of it, you can't argue with the results. He's had his eye on the ball since day one."

The film was directed by ‘The Godfather’ filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.

It had an ensemble cast, including Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, and Emilio Estevez.
