Jonathan Rhys Meyers: "Tom Cruise is So Strict"  4/3/06

Irish movie star Jonathan Rhys Meyers has praised Tom Cruise's on-set professionalism - even though it is often more than a little nerve-wracking.

The screen hunk, who worked alongside Cruise on Mission: Impossible III, claims the 43-year-old actor has no time for nonsense.

He says, "I was nervous. Tom runs a very tight ship.

"Luckily, I don't drink because you do not turn up to a Tom Cruise film set hung-over.

"You do not turn up late and you don't muck around. He will not stand for any s**t.

"He's strict with himself and everyone he works with."
