HOW TOM INSPIRED AMERICAN PSYCHO

Throwback fun fact: CHRISTIAN BALE’s creepy American Psycho performance really killed it — and was inspired by TOM CRUISE being, well, just being himself during a 1999 TV interview. Says the chilling film’s director, MARY HARRON: “We talked about how Martianlike Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day [Bale] called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy.”
